Wiki Guidelines

Rules of the Wiki

1. Never Start Titles with "The":
   • Article titles must never start with the word "The".
   • Example: Use Void instead of The Void, or Ouroboros Inn instead of The Ouroboros Inn. Add the full title with "The" as an alias in frontmatter or in the main page header.
2. Shorten Article Names:
   • Keep note titles concise. Omit titles like "Kingdom of ...", "Order of ...", or "Barony of ...".
   • Put the formal long title as an alias or within the lead header.
3. Automated Organization:
   • You do not need to manually sort files into folder directories. When creating or editing articles through the web editor (/editor), selecting the Note Type (Location, NPC, Organization, Event, Species, or Meta) automatically places and tags the article appropriately.
4. Atomic Notes & Clean Tagging:
   • Keep articles focused on a single subject, location, person, or concept.
   • Use lowercase tags (e.g., #npc, #location, #faction, #settlement).
5. Campaign World Linking via Editor:
   • Assigning notes to campaign worlds is handled directly via the World Selector dropdown in the editor's frontmatter panel—no manual folder moves required.
6. Player Knowledge Perspective (No Character POVs):

7. Avoid Orphaned Articles:
   • Always link new articles to and from existing parent concepts, worlds, settlements, or faction notes so they are easily discoverable.
