As with an Wiki, the quality of these pages depends on the etiquette of the people who use it. All of the rules that apply to other Wikis should also by used here.
Link to an etiquette reference.
The most important rule for this site is: do your homework. I want the information here to be useful and accurate. Don’t write anything “off the top of your head”, and never guess.
Where it makes sense, put new pages inside a namespace. All pages related to Thief 2, should go in the thief2 namespace. Anything about Dromed in the dromed namespace.
Every page must start with a heading. The first heading on a page should usually be H1 — that’s six ‘=’ around the title.
Temporary or out-of-bounds additions must be in a quote block. You should also begin the block with an icon: FIXME, DELETEME, NOTEME are useful.
This Wiki has a glossary; use it. Keep the entries alphabetical when editing it, as well.
Always check the spelling of your additions. I have written a custom dictionary for Dromed, so if a technical word isn’t in the dictionary that you believe should be, then please let me know so I can add it. Otherwise, allow the spelling checker to replace the words it knows about.
Aspell is still broken and may not be back for a while. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Some of the technical words are not written consistently on other websites or tutorials. The recommended spellings for this Wiki are:
Dromed (Only first letter capitalized.)meta-propertymulti-brushgamesys (Do not capitalize the “S”.)qvar or Qvar (This will be tagged as an acronym.)pseudo-scriptShould I add all the property and link names to the dictionary? I think I should.
Titles of games are underlined. Names of interface widgets and file names are monospaced. Symbolic names (objects, links, scripts) are also monospaced. Input text should be both monospaced and underlined.
