## Contribution and editing guidelines

This wiki was created with the sole intent to provide our community with in-depth information on *Iratus: Lord of the Dead*. With that in mind, you are highly encouraged to add any information or articles that may be missing from the wiki! Below are some guidelines to help keep the articles in a similar style and, loosely, what should or shouldn't be in the content you create.

### Editing and contributing

1. Always try to make sure an article is neat and well-organized. If you're unsure of how to go about this, follow the example of other articles on the wiki that you find to be clean and enjoyable to read.
2. Do your best to use proper grammar and punctuation.
3. We have many templates already created to make your life easier, use them to save yourself some time!
4. Before you make a new article, please double-check to make sure the information you're wanting to contribute isn't already out there somewhere!
5. After creating an article, if it still needs work or requires more information, please place the Stub template at the top of the page to let users know it's a work in progress!
6. After the article leaves Stub status, please use the Current and Not Current templates at the top of each article to let users know if the information on the article is current as of the most recent game version.
7. PLEASE DO NOT merge of delete articles or other media unless you were the user who uploaded/created the content. Fixing your own mistakes is encouraged, but before deleting/merging articles or media of other users make a suggestion to do so in either the comments of the page, or in a direct message on the wall of an administrator.

### Fan-made content and guides

1. Please make sure all guides and content remain on personal user blogs or within the forum.
2. Please refrain from posting guides based upon modded content.
