Storyton Wiki Contributor Guidelines

Dear Potential Contributor,

This wiki is meant to be a community reference work, belonging to everyone. Anyone is welcome to contribute as long as they observe the basic rule of "liberty, equality, fraternity."

I'd like all contributors to observe a few basic guidelines so we can avoid any chaos and confusion. Let's always keep the novice storybuilder in mind, preparing to make his or her first ascent in interactive storytelling. Getting everyone to the summit is our goal.

Here are some initial guidelines:

1. Let's keep the tone and point of view consistent. This is a reference work first and foremost so

2. Let's keep the page structure consistent

• Overview
• Other page-specific sections
• References

3. Let's try and be as clear and concise as possible.

4. Please don't modify the front page at this time. I'd like to keep it as simple as possible at this point in time.

5. Please don't upload images at this time.

If you think an image is needed to further illustrate your point, put a placeholder among your writing (see the example below) and I'll create one. If you've already created a special graphic that you want added, email it to me and I'll upload it.

6. If you break something, try and fix it. If you can't, email me and I'll restore the particular page to a previous version.

7. Remember the Golden Rule - "What you do not want others to do to you, do not do to others."

Let's resolve our differences of opinion (which are bound to occur) in the appropriate forum and in the appropriate way. Remember - principles, not personalities.

If you've decided that you don't want to contribute, at least feel free comment on the appropriate page. Remember, this is our wiki.

Thank you.
