CWJKI:Guide
A simple set of information to follow when editing the CWJki.
Guidelines
Before you start
- Check if the article you want to write isn't already made.
- Take a quick look at how to use Wikitext.
- When editing an article, look for any comments within its code that say if you shouldn't be adding something. Comments are hidden like this:
<!-- Hello! -->
Text formatting
- Use bold text when first mentioning an article's subject.
- Use cursive text when referring to a YouTube channel.
- Use "quotation marks" when referring to a specific video or other piece of media.
Date format
Similarly to the CWCki, using the European date format is encouraged, as in:
D/DD Month Year (Examples: 9 February 2007, 17 June 2018)
Not only is this less confusing for international viewers than numerical dating (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY), but it also saves us one whole byte of server space everytime we skip the comma usually used in American dating! Wow!
Use American spellings otherwise.
Jokes
To make the wiki easier to read for newcomers, try to minimize the use of Jackisms and jokes in articles. Yeah, Jack is fat, and you may mock him for being fat occasionally, but don't overload every section of an article with jokes about how Jack is fat. And don't be edgy either. Keep it encyclopedic, with a little humor in between.
Tips
Using Kiwi Farms links
Please only link to Kiwi Farms using the kiwifarms.st domain. The wiki's host blocks all mentions of "kiwifruit.net", and attempting to add it to articles will result in an error. Alternatively, you can write "kiwi/fruit.net" which will correct itself to "kiwifruit.net" by a wiki extension.
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:
<ref>Link goes here!</ref>
If you want to reference one link multiple times, you can add a name tag to the reference:
<ref name="TESTING">Link goes here!</ref>
<ref name="TESTING"/>
To add a "References" section at the end of an article, use the following code:
==References==
{{reflist}}
