Heya! If you're interested in editing the wiki, do make sure you've read these guidelines thoroughly. This wiki is in need of sustained editing and hopefully this guide can help new editors to contribute.
In general[]
- Use your common sense. If you believe the content is appropriate, then go ahead and add it!
- Add everything you know. This wiki lacks a lot of content right now (especially the Locations and IF info) and that needs to change. You don't have to add comprehensive histories or in-depth analysis about character personalities, even summaries or bits of information could really help readers enjoy the site. A wiki is the work of a community, it isn't conjured overnight by a solo author.
- Of course, you should follow Fandom's terms of use.
- Adding any in-game sprites and promotional artwork is allowed.
Creating a new article[]
Before making a new article, here is some stuff you need to clear before proceeding:
- Make sure the article is relevant to the wiki, i.e. it details content from the Sigmund Corp. series.
- Make sure the article doesn't exist yet. If the content is part of another article but you think it should be moved, discuss moving the content in the comments section or talk page, or contact an admin.
When you've finished writing the article, don't forget to add the relevant categories to it.
Adding content to an article[]
When adding content to an article:
- Be objective. For the sake of accuracy, you may ONLY add details that are directly shown in the series or otherwise strongly implied; or those sourced from materials officially published by Freebird related to the series. Theories and speculations should be discussed in the forum, the comment section, the official Discord server, or the To the Moon Theory Wiki.
- Show your sources. For example, if you want to write some specific dialogue, add details of where and when it happened in the series. If it's not in the series but is considered canon by Freebird, cite the sources. If you don't add references to your content, it might get removed.
- When done editing, briefly describe the changes you made in the edit summary. This would help other editors review a page's edit history.
Uploading files[]
When uploading a file:
- Make sure a similar file doesn't exist yet. If a similar file already exists but yours have a better quality, upload a new version on that file's page instead.
- Name the file appropriately. We don't have strict guidelines on file naming so don't worry about punctuations/abbreviations/etc. In any case, the file name should reflect the contents of the file enough for other editors to know what it is without having to open the file.
Thanks for reading all of this, and happy editing! Let me know if you have any suggestions.
