General Guidelines
Small Edits
When editing an existing page, try to keep edits contained to a section and ALWAYS add an edit summary for each edit/creation
So multiple small edits is preferred over completely redoing a page in one go
No Butthurt Clause
Do not be offended or take it personally if Darklor reverts, corrects, or deletes something you did. an explanation should be in the change notes for each of such changes.
Writing Style
Try to keep it to an "encyclopedia style" as much as possible. its okay to let your personality out a bit though.
Formatting
Use minimal markup on articles
use bulleted or numbered lists when relevant.
If you are comfortable, its best to edit in source code mode, but that is up to you.
When linking pages in mid sentence, use correct situational capitalization and naming, you can give page links a "display name" at each instance of a page link.
