Editing Guidelines

So you want to contribute to the Neptunia Wiki, but aren't sure where to start? Have no fear, pllut6969 is here! This page lists some rules you should follow when editing the wiki to keep the quality up.

• There are no rules. Like the pirate's code, they're more like guidelines (look, it's even in the title of the page). A good satirist knows the rules, and when and how to break them.
• Make sure you know how to write a proper wiki page first. You can find guides on how to write for a wiki by using sites such as google. If the writing is nothing like a real wiki article, then it'll break the illusion.
• It should go without saying, but make sure you know how to write proper English as well. Deliberate errors can work, but if the entire text is littered with grammatical errors, spelling errors, etc, you can lose the reader's respect, which is what you absolutely don't want.
• Familiarize yourself with the preexisting text on the wiki before editing. This will help you write in a way that not only feels in place, but can also give you ideas on what or how to write.
• Cursing is of course allowed on the wiki (while on a normal wiki it would be expressly forbidden), but be sure to be very deliberate with your cursing. If you use curse words too often, it cheapens their effect. This isn't the Angry Video Game Nerd, it's the HD Neptunia Wiki. Familiarize yourself with the concept of the precision f-strike, and use your curses sparingly, only when absolutely necessary.
• Remember to stay on topic. Non-sequiturs and references can work, (see RED's page, for example), but the overwhelming majority of what you write should be specifically related to Neptunia and, more importantly, the subject matter of the page.
• Avoid overwriting or deleting existing content when editing preexisting pages. If you truly feel that what you want to put in place is better than what's already there, just remember, the funnier edit wins.
• Avoid talking down to Neptunia fans, or potentially insulting the reader. If the reader feels personally attacked, they won't be able to enjoy the article, even if it's good.
• Don't forget to have fun! This sounds a bit cliched, but, no, seriously. If you aren't having fun writing your own articles, odds are the reader won't be having fun reading it either. Write what YOU like, what YOU think is funny, and what YOU think makes sense.

Here are some specific editing guidelines:

• In the opening sentence of an article for a place, always misspell the name of that place by removing one letter, and include at least one person that lives there. For example, in the Superdimension article, it opens with Supedimension is the place where Nep-nep lives.
• In the infobox for characters, do not use their actual name in the title or "true name" section.
• Don't worry about consistency between different pages. A page only needs to be consistent with itself.
• Take care when correcting typos and errors. Some of them are deliberate, such as calling the Kaneko 7 the "Kaneki 7" on the Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online page, or the text awkwardly cutting off in the middle of Peashy's page. Similarly, make sure you proofread everything you write, as any genuine errors may inadvertently be preserved.
