Editing Guidelines
From Pool's Closed Wiki
Guidelines. On how to edit shit properly. Similar to Wikipedia's best practices or whatever that's called.
- In almost all cases you should capitalize the page link when creating new articles! Auto-capitalization has been turned off to accommodate special cases that should be lowercase, such as /b/lockade. Other than these, please continue to capitalize in the usual manner for wikis.
- Don't create redirects for every capitalization, spelling and plural variation of a word. Use the vertical pipe: | Example: [[Nigra|nigras]] produces nigras which is the same functional result as adding a new redirect but doesn't require extra pages.
- Make a link out of only the first occurrence of a word in an article. Do not make a link out of every occurrence!
- Use categories and subcategories. You can see a listing here: Special:Categories. Use subcategories when possible, but if in doubt place it in a top category and it can be placed in a subcategory later if needed.
- Upload files in PNG format when possible, or GIF when transparency or animation is required. Large areas of single colors such as Habbo screenshots or CG drawings will compress very well in PNG format. Photographs, pencil sketches and other images with high levels of detail and color variations are best in JPEG.
- With rare exceptions any new article created should be referenced in the Glossary. Place it alphabetically in the list.
- In regards to Habbo room names: Habbo will choose a couple rooms to rename and whore out to sponsors who give them jewgolds or change part of the name in light of a holiday. Examples: Xmas Theaterdome (normally Theaterdome), Teen Terrace (normally Sun Terrace). When this occurs, do not add a new article for the renamed room, though you may create a redirect to the original article.
