The Writing Guide - Everything You Need To Know Before Contributing

This page will serve to set forward guidelines, rules, and standards of this wiki. In need of contributions.

I am unabashedly cribbing from the SCP wiki here. There is a reason that cooperative writing wikis are not common, and why the SCP wiki thrives. It has standards of content, and clear and simple rules for guiding the hand of hundreds of writers, thousands of pages, multiple canons, divergent timelines, and a huge cast of created characters, into an intriguing project. I believe that these rules and ideas can serve us here, in service to a small, humbler, project.

A fair warning: the SCP wiki features adult language and horror. Even the guides aren't family friendly.

Short Version: Read what's out there. Read the OCs. Read the guides, when they are completed. Do not assume you are Elvis, Ray Bradbury, or Commander Shepard. Don't spam, do not delete content without authorization from the person who created it, and most importantly - have fun!

To be continued, assets added, Mary Sue situations addressed, and Genestealers sucker-punched.
