User blog:MasterBroccoli/Our policies

Hello everybody!

With the prospect of the upcoming release of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, the activity on our wiki has drastically increased and the number of edits is likely to remain at a higher level for the foreseeable future. There is a lot of new content to add, so to save us all cleanup work, I kindly ask you to familiarize yourself with our policies, especially the Manual of Style (which includes how we name pages and organize articles) and the image policy (which includes how we name images - almost no newly uploaded image matches our policy). If you feel anything in these policies should be changes, please let us know!

Also, if you intend to make changes on a larger portion of existing articles, start with a few (no more than five) articles and ask around if your idea/ideas have community approval before performing mass edits (this includes changing links or icons). Be patient and give others time to answer before taking action (take into account a discussion may be drowned out by a flood of other edits), we usually wait about a week in community discussions before applying the discussed changes.

Note that we (Narve and I) run bots which can effectively perform repeated edits. This saves a lot of work and keeps the changes clean.

Please leave a comment here if you disagree with anything I just said or if there is anything you do not understand or approve of.

I do not want to say all this without thanking you all for your contributions on our wiki, in general and in recent days. Our wiki has come a long way in recent years, and the new pages already look great! Thanks, your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, happy editing! MasterBroccoli (talk) 08:25, November 11, 2019 (UTC)
