Help:Contributing/Rules and content policy

These are the rules and policies for adding content to the wiki. Please be sure to read them before contributing!

Violating these rules may result in a temporary or permanent block from editing at the discretion of the site administrators.

Content Policy

When adding new content to the wiki, please abide by the following rules:

1. No copyright violations – Do not post any copyrighted game code, assets, or content from other websites without the proper license/attribution.
2. Keep it relevant – Please only add content that is relevant to modding and reverse-engineering the Sly Cooper games.
3. No NSFW content – Do not post any NSFW text or images on the wiki.
4. When in doubt, ask for help - If you aren't sure whether something is allowed, you can always ask for help on Discord or ask an administrator on their talk page.

Code of Conduct

1. Do not vandalize the wiki – Vandalism refers to edits that are intentionally harmful or destructive to the wiki. Examples include adding inappropriate/nonsense content to articles, spamming articles or talk pages, and blanking article content for no good reason. It does not include good-faith edits that have honest mistakes.
2. Be respectful – Please be respectful of other editors and their contributions. Edit warring, personal attacks, and other destructive behaviors are not acceptable. Targeted harassment of any kind including racism, sexism, and homophobia will not be tolerated.
3. Assume good faith – If another editor is showing problematic behavior, don’t jump the gun and assume they have bad intentions. Try to help them, and refer them to the appropriate rules and policies where necessary. When in doubt, feel free to bring it to an administrator’s attention and we will handle it as needed.

Do's and Don'ts

• Do create articles for topics including (but not limited to): game mechanics, reverse-engineered data structures, game engine subsystems, and game builds.

• Don't create articles for enum data types; Document them on the page for the struct that they are mainly used for (e.g. document the Sly 1 ZAPK enum in a subsection of the the Sly 1:ZAP article).

• Do create informational articles for game mods and modding utilities, but don't upload them to the wiki. Host them somewhere else and link to them using either {{Infobox mod}} or {{Infobox tool}}.

Be bold

If you want to add something but it is not covered by these rules, be bold and do what you think is best, whether that means creating a new article or including it as a section on an already-existing article. You will not get in trouble for doing what you think is best if you are trying to improve the wiki.
