Wiki contribution guidelines
V 0.3
This wiki is intended to be a community lead resources compiling information on the sizeable and rapidly growing corpus of narrative surrounding Kings of War and other games set in the world of Pannithor. As such we would like as many people to contribute as possible, but we do have guidelines that need to be followed.
Some basics Mantica is a part of the wider world of Pannithor, and this world plays host to several games and fictional books. The lore therefore is spread across multiple volumes of work. 
==What to include==
There are a lot of elements that make up this world. To begin with we would like to build up articles on the following:
*Named characters
*Factions
*Races
*Gods
*Artifacts and items
*Events
==Accuracy==
Please keep as closely as possible to the fiction as written in the cannon sources. Obviously this is all a work of fiction, but this wiki needs to stay as close as possible to the ‘in world facts’ as established by the games and books as possible. To that end, please try to avoid ‘filling in the gaps’. If it’s not documented somewhere official, please don’t write it. 
Obviously, as with any body of fiction written over time, by multiple authors, there will be grey areas and even contradictions, so we just need to do our best. Use the version from the source with the latest publication date, and if in doubt ask the rest of the community. 
DO NOT just copy and paste verbatim the source material, that is not what this is for. Reference and summarise please.
Please do not include your own creations or ‘fan fiction’. 
More importantly, never write anything disparaging, defamatory, racist, pornographic etc.
==What can you do to help?==
Like most wikis, this is a community project and needs lots of volunteers to help. This does not, however, just mean writing articles from scratch. Useful tasks include:
*Write totally new articles
*Add items to the indexes
* Create red links by tagging word
*Follow ‘red’ dead end links and create the required article
*Check articles for grammatical and spelling errors
*Check articles for narrative errors
*Add more content to existing articles
*Adding references
Please see the following page for the most needed pages:

Click on a RED link you find, the "ADD NEW PAGE" or "EDIT" button at the top of any page to get started!
==Editing other’s work==
One of the main strengths of a wiki is that it is collaboratively edited ensuring that errors are picked up and improvements made, but it also requires people to edit each other’s work. 
Respecting other people's efforts is very important. When editing existing content, please avoid completely deleting content unless you've got a very good reason.  
Removing false information and correcting grammar is fine, and even rephrasing clunky sentences is fine, but don’t make changes for the sake of it.
==Fairness==
The fiction which will fill this wiki is owned by Mantic Games and the companies with which they create content. 
By its very nature, a wiki must include discussion of the intellectual property it is designed to catalogue, but this does not mean copying word for word from these sources, direct quotes should be used only when necessary, limited in scope and ideally used only for the ‘flavour’ quote at the beginning of an article. 
Similarly images should be limited to those publicly accessible in the internet, not scans out of books. 
Please reference all publications that are used in the relation of each article, including page numbers where possible.
