[edit] The Convention

This simple set of statements is designed to keep the community on the same general path and keep a consistent level of quality throughout the project. Although this convention is certainly not mandatory, it is the preferred way to handle contributions.

As a contributor to this project I will, to the best of my ability:

• respect the spirit of the community and do my best to uphold these statements:
• write clearly and accurately in whatever language I choose to use
• keep concepts as accurate as possible
• respect the contributions of others
• use the recommended format and information requested from world-building articles
• not contribute illegal, unethical, offensive, explicit, or profane materials
• keep existing content consistent (don't contribute something that nullifies, contradicts, or ignores existing contributions without changing it to fit the new contribution)
• allow content to evolve (if someone changed your content, consider keeping it before simply changing it back)
• correct errors as they are found
• notify sysops of any spam, graffiti, etc.

Note that many of these rules also apply to the fiction wiki.
