[edit] About World-Building

The Neverending Wiki uses worldbuilding as a primary tool for creating settings. World Building is the act of creating fictional settings in various genres for use in stories and media. While it is often considered rooted in Science Fiction and Fantasy genres, World Building is also sometimes useful in historical fiction, mythology, and even literary genres. No matter how realistic the setting, a certain amount of fictional construction is necessary to create a three-dimensional background.

[edit] Working Collaboratively

In addition to creating new worlds and settings, users on this site can actively contribute to existing worlds and settings. In fact, the reason why the Neverending Wiki World has so many articles is that many minds can create more detail than only one. It is imperative, however, that contributors also review these articles to ensure their contributions fit within the structure. Additionally, contributors should ensure that any changes or contributions made do not conflict with existing content. If it does, the contributors must change all affected content so there is no longer a conflict

[edit] Naming Conventions

It is important that users utilize a standard format for articles so they can be easily indexed and accessed.

• All articles begin with N/.
• All articles then have the category name. This page is hence N/Introduction.
• All articles end with /topic. This page is hence N/Introduction/Guidelines.
• There are also some special pages that do not fit this guideline:
  • N
  • The Neverending Wiki
• Templates should begin with Template:NEW. So the template to the left is Template:NEWIntroduction.
• All articles should have the category of "The Neverending Wiki Articles".
• All articles should have the category to which they belong, ie History, Legends, Entities, etc.
• When you're done writing an article, don't forget to list it on the portal page (N/Introduction in this case).
