Wiki Style

This outlines the style and rules of this Wiki that should ensure "quality" and consistency. You should read this before contributing.

If you contribute, add yourself to wiki authors! You can also join us on the Island.

Rules

  1. Everything is public domain under CC0 to which all contributors agree. No one owns what we write here.
  2. No fair use or even unfrair use. We want this Wiki to be as free as possible and don't thread the fine legal lines. That means you can't directly include anything on this Wiki if it's copyrighted, even if it's under a free license. So generally avoid any copy pasting and rather try to write everything yourself.
  3. Stay on topic, this Wiki is CENSORED: spam, too much of completely non-related text, shitty things and things going against our thing will not be included.

Style

  • Don't line-break paragraphs (a pragraph is on a single line). The reasoning is that a text manually formatted to specific width is hard to edit. It's easier to switch to auto-line breaking in your editor.
  • Each page shall start with a heading (which may not correspond to article file name).
  • Filenames of articles should use a lowercrase snake_case.
  • This isn't Wikipedia, memes, opinions and uncensored truths are allowed (and welcome).
  • The style of this wiki is inspired by the famous WikiWikiWeb.
  • Writing style should be relaxed and in many parts informal. Formality is used where it is useful (e.g. definitions), most of other text can benefit from being written as a tech conversation among friends.
  • Political incorectness, slurs and "offensive speech" is highly encouraged.
  • Images: for now don't embed images. ASCII art can be used in many places instead of an image. Non-embedding links to images are okay.
  • You can leave comments right in the text of articles, e.g. like this: { I disagree with this shit. ~drummyfish }.

Purpose

Basically the purpose of this wiki is to have fun and also create a coherent and consistent philosophy of a truly good software and technology.
