Editing Policy
These are some basic editing guidelines that everyone should follow on the Terraria Wiki:
- Do not post spam or vandalize pages. See the Blocking Policy.
- Images uploaded to the wiki should comply with the Image Policy.
- Before making a new page, search thoroughly and make sure that a similar page does not already exist. For example, a page about Lava Traps should not be created, because there is already a page called Traps on the wiki where Lava Traps can be described.
- Before publishing edits, always 1) write a brief description of your edit in the "Edit Summary" window at the upper-right corner of the screen and 2) click "Preview" to make sure the edit looks good.
- Use correct spelling and grammar. Do not use vulgar language.
- Do not put opinions, rumors, guesses or anything non-Terraria related on pages. Only relevant facts.
- Write using the third person narrative. Basically, this means do not use words like "I" or "you."
- Unless there is a gallery, do not add pictures to pages that already have 2+ pictures.
Notes
