Medieval Latin Wiki:Wiki rules

Below is a suggested set of rules to follow when editing this wiki. Administrators of this wiki should read these rules and adapt them as necessary.

Community Guidelines

 * 1) Keep it civil: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc. Unfortunately this language and time period can attract undesirables, so, to be clear, absolutely no fascism.
 * 2) Be a productive member of the wiki: Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
 * 3) Do not engage in excessive self-promotion: The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
 * 4) Do not harass other users: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
 * 5) Do follow community guidelines for formatting: When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.

Guidelines for Articles

 * 1) Be sure every article has Author name, date, location of publication, and title of the work.
 * 2) Divide larger works into chapters. See the Gesta Romanorum or Historia Apollonii Regis Tyrii articles for examples as to how to do that.
 * 3) Use the Cite feature to provide reading assistance. Let the Alpheios browser extension do most of the work and limit your notations to multiple-word structures, idioms, or words with insufficient or confusing lexicon entries.
 * 4) Use footnotes with superscript for reading aids for comprehension. Use a separate section header for commentaries and other scholarly resources.
