Rules

  • All written content should be in English.
  • Do not link external websites with no connection to the written content.
  • Do not include hateful or inciting language in written content.
  • Do not upload indecent or illegal images.

Common

These are guidelines that you should strive to apply:

  • Be clear: writing should be plain, direct, unambiguous, and specific.
  • Be concise: writing should not ramble. Omit overly-descriptive language.
  • Maintain scope: pages should not be overly long. If this occurs, consider narrowing the scope of the page's topic.

When creating a new page, be sure to place it in the correct namespace. You can see the currently used namespaces by viewing the sitemap.

Consistency

1. Place your page in the correct category:

  • format for articles about specific file formats
  • param for articles about specific params
  • reference for simple reference material such as lists of ID numbers
  • tool for articles about specific tools and utilities
  • topic for articles about a broader modding topic like sounds or scripting as a whole
  • tutorial for articles describing a specific modding process or workflow

2. Once your page is ready, add a link and brief description to the main page for the category, such as format:main, param:main, etc.

3. If your article has sections for different FromSoft games, order them alphabetically, i.e. Armored Core 6, Bloodborne, Dark Souls I, Dark Souls II, Dark Souls III, Demon's Souls, Elden Ring, and finally Sekiro.

4. Tag all new pages with the relevant game tags: ds1, ds2, ds3, des, bb, sekiro, er, ac6
