Editing Guidelines

Strict Rules!

• Ask the admin for editing rights. Only admin can create user accounts for now.
• NEVER add any original material directly into SRD. Errata is an exception.
  • Adding errata: use <del>delete tages</del> to mark changed section and {{errata|errata template for corrected material|5.2.1}} with the version of errata file used. This way everyone can see what has been changed without having to review a page's history.
  • Sample errata: Blues Dragons have a depression breath weapon. Blue Dragons have a lightning breath weapon. (errata 5.2.1)
• All new material must be separated from SRD.
• This wiki is in English. Do not add material in other languages.
  • Names are exceptions, they can be of any language, but use only western alphabet, or at least use HTML Entities for non-ISO-8859-1 letters. We try to avoid Unicode conversion problems here. If you write names in for example Japanese kanji or Arabic alphabet, always include a transliteration.
  • Never use weird letters or HTML Entities in page names! Also, they are not recommended in headers (but not totally forbidden).

How to Add Original Material

• Never copy any copyrighted material unless it's yours, and know that if it is, it will forever be under CC-BY-4.0 license.
• If you don't want that, don't add your material into this wiki.
• Place everything under a category, which is usually the name of your campaign setting, "extra rulebook", or an adventure module.
• Don't repeat SRD material (unless it's some really small bit such as how to calculate DC for something). Instead [[link]] all SRD things from your material.

About Images

• Images are an exception: you keep the copyright. Also, you are allowed to add a link to the source or your portfolio.
• Never use AI images!
• Avoid using Public Domain images (yeah, I know the logo has one, but it was too great not to be used).

What are HTML Entities?

The term "HTML Entity" is used as a synonym for a character reference — a pattern of characters that can represent another character in the HTML. It is recommended to use them for exotic characters and symbols outside ISO-8859-1 character set.

For example, Unicode Cloud is ☁ and looks like this: ☁

Looks like new Unicode 10 codes work too?

• "Spaghetti": 🍝
• "Dragon": 🐉
• "Crossed Swords": ⚔️

Nice!
