== | ==CWJki Rules== | ||
* '''1. Plagiarism is not tolerated.''' Do not copy large portions of text from other places regardless of their license type. Direct quoting is allowed if disclosed with quotation marks or the Quote template. | |||
* '''2. Sources required for big claims.''' Particularly contentious or serious claims about real people must be supported by an identifiable public source. If you cannot link a source, do not add the claim. Adding sources to ''every'' claim is preferrable, but not currently feasible without sufficient manpower. | |||
* '''3. Public material only.''' Only use publicly available material on a topic. Do not link to any webspace that cannot be easily accessed. (Discord links are allowed only if the server has a public invite, and the channel is accessible to any person with an account.) | |||
* '''4. Satire, not stalking.''' The wiki is only meant for documentation and satire, not direct action against any subject. The wiki condemns any attempt at harassment, threats, or coordination of contact with a subject or related individuals. | |||
* '''5. No doxing of third parties.''' For the most part, members of the wider community covered here are entitled to whatever level of pseudonymity they have chosen to maintain. Do not unmask people who have not unmasked themselves. | |||

'''''<u>Archive it!</u>''''' Jack is notorious for going '''[[Glossary#DFE|DFE]]''' for "controversial" clips, anything he deems as being taken over by "haters" (Such as the [[Whisk]] page) or simply proven slightly wrong (Such as Facebook statuses or comments) to preserve his fragile ego. [[Lost media|Enough content has been lost to this already.]] Always take screenshots or archive webpages. | ||
The main archival tools for webpages are the [https://web.archive.org Wayback Machine] and [https://archive.today Archive Today]. Note that certain sites like Facebook cannot be archived like this, and any posts on them must be simply screenshotted. For archiving videos, either download them locally with [https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp yt-dlp] or paste the link into [https://preservetube.com PreserveTube]. Local archives can be posted on file-hosting sites like [https://catbox.moe Catbox] or [http://mega.nz MEGA], the [https://archive.org Internet Archive], Jack's [[Kiwi Farms]] thread, or [[Special:Upload|directly onto the CWJki]] (Our current filesize limit is 100MB). Uploading archived videos onto YouTube is possible, but not recommended due to Jack being copyright strike-happy. | The main archival tools for webpages are the [https://web.archive.org Wayback Machine] and [https://archive.today Archive Today].

===Using references=== | ===Using references=== | ||
Use a healthy amount of references in articles. For now, we don't require any special labelling for references, just a link. To add a reference to an article, use the following code: | |||
<pre><ref>Link goes here!</ref></pre> | <pre><ref>Link goes here!</ref></pre> | ||
