Help:Editing

Welcome to the Team Covenant Wiki. Before Editing, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with our formatting.

General

 * Getting started quickly.
 * Basic information for new users.
 * Advanced information on editing and navigating wiki pages.

Wanted Pages: Wanted pages are pages that are linked to from other pages but lack content. Some may just need to be flagged for redirection, flagged for deletion, or have the appropriate link(s) modified as the link(s) is either not needed, mislabeled, etc..

Stubs: Stubs are articles with content that does not meet the standards of this Wiki. Usually content is missing, or the page is poorly presented, or there is extraneous content better outlined on another page.

Citations Needed: These pages do not properly reference their sources or make dubious claims.

Burning Wheel
For each respective player-created setting shared via the site, the inclusion of certain information is heavily encouraged, with some being "required" to gain display on the portal page. This is done so that consistency might be reached and maintained, making it easier for those browsing to quickly get the information that they need about each setting. By having all information organized in a uniform way, the evaluation of player-created settings, whether for inspiration or potential campaign settings, goes from painstaking to easy and enjoyable. The criteria for each player-created setting are as follows:


 * Cultural Beliefs (Required)
 * Important People (Required)
 * Maps (Required)
 * Significant Places (Required)
 * Setting History (Required)
 * Creation Stories
 * Deity Pantheons
 * Religions
 * Etc.

Each setting must be an original creation. The creator(s) has complete control over the evolution of their setting, and reserves the right to unilaterally determine the ultimate course of events therein. However, players running campaigns in a setting can post the happenings of their campaigns under the "Non-Canon" section. By posting how your campaigns have affected the original setting in the "Non-Canon" section, you give the creator of the setting the right to adopt your changes and evolution of the setting into the official canon. By posting a setting on the TCW, the creator accepts that anyone is welcome to play in said setting, and is allowed to post alterations and changes derived from campaigns therein in the "Non-Canon" section. Setting creators are encouraged to review the "Non-Canon" section often and to incorporate what they see fit into the official canon. This creates dynamic, interesting settings that are shaped by a great multitude of campaigns run by a great number of players. All creators and users are encouraged to operate under the tenants of the 5 Pillars.

Log Files
It is not the intent of the TCW to become a repository for Vassal Gamelog files. Team Covenant is working on creating such a repository on their main website. Until this occurs, the TCW is willing to host a handful of logfiles with the following guidlines.


 * 1) Only interesting logfiles from major events.  Good back and forth games, inventive strategies, and championship rounds are all interesting.  Major events does not include friendly matches.
 * 2) The logfiles will be linked to through the event page.  If you have made a Vassal recreation of a match from any semifinal round, then please post it on the given event's page.

Wiki Formatting
We've spent a lot of time discussing the various ways of displaying the information available on the wiki is a way that is easy to understand as a user and follow as an editor. Your help in adhering to these methods improves the continuity of the wiki as a whole and enhances the experience of all. Thank you for your compliance.

How to link to a Monster in a list
When linking to a Monster in a list, please use the following formatting: If you only want to refer to specific forms of a Monster, simply delete the links to the forms you don't want. Here is an example with Terra Khan as Monster X and the Alpha form removed:
 *  Monster X (Alpha, Ultra, Mega) .
 * Terra Khan (Ultra, Mega).

How to link to a Morpher in a list
When linking to a Morpher in a list, please use the following formatting: This should look like the following when you use Gladius 1 from Legionnaire as Morpher A:
 *  Monster X (Morpher A) 
 * Legionnaire (Gladius 1)

Note: If there is need to list the Morpher's Hyper Form as well, use the formatting for how to link to a monster as shown above, using an individual Morpher as an additional Alpha Form slot.

How to organize a list
When listing a organizing a group of figures, use the following to determine order:
 * 1. Agenda (Protectors>Radicals>Fiends>Destroyers>Invaders>Collaborators>Neutral)
 * 2. Release Order (Series 1>Series 2>Series 3...)
 * 3. Alphabetical

Note: Classification by Agenda works for Buildings as well, with Installations coming first and foremost.
