I think this'll be easier if we plan things out in this context first. Plus other people can come by and drop suggestions if they think we missed anything, and this way communication is a lot easier than editing a whole page. We can make the page when we think we've got enough.

Now, my knowledge of the Wiki rules are limited to a couple things about Fear pages and a number of unspoken allowances about pages for individual stories and interpretations, but I'll put down what I got.

(Firstly, is there a way to lock certain pages so they can only be edited by certain people? Like how Wikipedia articles can be locked if they're super-important or often subject to trolling. This way, we could lock the page for "The Fears" and "The Fear Mythos" and perhaps for the vanilla Fear pages themselves, though if we did I think a lot of those pages would need revision so they'd meet, say, series bible standards. Or just some kind of clear consistent standard that clarifies why the Fear pages have to be different from Fear Interpretation pages.

(If we can't lock pages, we'll just need to write a number of more rules, then.)

- Always check the Edit History or Recent Wiki Changes for any edit summaries that might explain the reasoning behind a change you disagree with or are unsure on.

- If the page is directly connected to a specific story, the author of that story gets final say on changes made, just under the Wiki admins.

- Don't link to redlinks on List pages or Categories.

- SOMETHING ABOUT IMAGE SIZES-- I'm wondering this one too and you seem to be the one who knows.

- WE ARE AN OUT-OF-GAME WIKI. THE FEARS DO NOT EXIST. (I personally don't quite love seeing RP posts on the Wiki, but ultimately it's your call.)

- Tip: Check the Source for more detailed articles so you can learn more tricks for editing cool things! (Like the "Fear Info Box" which I still don't know how to do. xD)

- SOMETHING ABOUT CATEGORIES-- you know more about categories than I do.

- Just because it's not a Fear doesn't make it a UXP. UXPs are very specific things that have to be intended as a UXP when written to classify.

- Tip: If a story's page gets big enough to have subsections, the order they're generally agreed to go in is TOP OF PAGE talking about the story itself -> SYNOPSIS giving brief summary of plot (can be longer in proportion to story's length if necessary) -> CHARACTERS in a list, either linked to more detailed pages or not -> ANY OTHER INFORMATION like DEVELOPMENT (talking about the making of the story), ALTERNATE ENDINGS, or anything else that floats your boat -> GALLERY of pictures from story, art or otherwise.

- We are a Wiki of information for information's sake. Articles should not try to 'sell' the story to the audience; articles should only talk about the story in an objective manner (though exceptions can be made if the article is still considered under construction). So this means articles can have spoilers in them.

Feel free to add to or respond to this list.
