Editing Guidelines

Strict Rules!

• Ask the admin for editing rights. Only admin can create user accounts for now.
• NEVER add any original material directly into SRD. Keep it all "pure", with no houserules or additions of any kind! Errata is an exception.
• Link everything: references to spells, monsters, items, character classes, damage types, conditions, etc. if you can. Don't worry about every single thing. Also, you don't have to link the same thing more than once on each page.
  • Adding errata: use <del>delete tages</del> to mark changed section and {{errata|errata template for corrected material|5.2.1}} with the version of errata file used. This way everyone can see what has been changed without having to review a page's history.
  • Sample errata: Blues Dragons have a depression breath weapon. Blue Dragons have a lightning breath weapon. (errata 5.2.1)
• All new material must be separated from SRD. Create a main category for your game world/campaign/adventure (e.g. Category:Yaranaika).
• New material may be included in relevant categories (Spells by Level, Creatures by CR etc.) but never under [[Category:SRD]].
• This wiki is in English. Do not add material in other languages.
  • Names are exceptions, they can be of any language, but use only western alphabet, or at least use HTML Entities for non-ISO-8859-1 letters. We try to avoid Unicode conversion problems here. If you write names in for example Japanese kanji or Arabic alphabet, always include a transliteration.
  • Never use weird letters or HTML Entities in page names! Also, they are not recommended in headers (but not totally forbidden).
• Use Creature, Spell, Equipment etc. templates. See existing SRD pages to learn how they are used.

How to Add Original Material

• Never copy any copyrighted material unless it's yours, and know that if it is, it will forever be under CC-BY-4.0 license.
• If you don't want that, don't add your material into this wiki.
• Place everything under a category, which is usually the name of your campaign setting, "extra rulebook", or an adventure module.
• Don't repeat SRD material (unless it's some really small bit such as how to calculate DC for something). Instead [[link]] all SRD things from your material.

About Images

• Images are an exception: always mark them copyrighted material and you will keep the copyright. Also, you are allowed to add a link to the source or your portfolio.
  • Images may not be used elsewhere without permission.
• Never use AI images!
• Avoid using Public Domain images (yeah, I know the logo has one, but it was too great not to be used).

What are HTML Entities?

The term "HTML Entity" is used as a synonym for a character reference — a pattern of characters that can represent another character in the HTML. It is recommended to use them for exotic characters and symbols outside ISO-8859-1 character set.

For example, Unicode Cloud is ☁ and looks like this: ☁

Looks like new Unicode 10 codes work too?

• "Spaghetti": 🍝
• "Dragon": 🐉
• "Crossed Swords": ⚔️

Nice!
