TazlurianWiki:About

Definition of the Tazlurian Wiki

Tazlure maintains a wiki for the widely diverse information needed to run the game and describe the setting on a day to day basis. The wiki is intended as a never ending encyclopedia regarding Tazlure, and only Tazlure. Issues regarding other games, spam, or political debates concerning Earth will be swiftly removed.

When adding information you are asked to keep the the established lore as shown in the day of day running of Tazlure, citing the information on our play forums as proof of attribution. Moderators will act as administrators, prevent vandalism and maintain a neutral point of view in as far as possible. Statements by moderators, and in case of dispute ultimately the Gamedesigners, are final as per the Terms of Service of Tazlure.nl.

Expected Behavior at the Tazlurian Wiki

Tazlurian Wiki follows the Terms of Service of Tazlure.nl and general Wiki etiquette regarding the behavior of users. This means:

1. Respect people even if you do not agree with them. Do not rant, flame or deliberately invoke what you know will be a row. Avoid personal attacks. Do not participate in edit wars but seek counseling with the authorities, aka Tazlure staff. Just be cool.

2. Be courteous: Assume good faith. Seek consensus through the discussion pages. Be open and welcoming.

3. Your articles can and will be edited by anybody. Nobody is an expert, except all of us together. Please do not enter an edit war (repeatedly changing or reverting contentious sections of an article).

4. Provide a neutral point of view: make sure that all significant views are represented fairly and without bias. Oneists and Panlings work together on this one.

5. This is not the place for rants, opinions, newspaper articles, editorials, a place for source documents, a dictionary etc. Please keep this Wiki effective for Tazlure.

6. The Tazlurian Wiki is not the place to introduce original ideas and material. It is intended to be a reference guide to the world described in the IC forums. If you have a great idea for something you'd like to see added to Tazlure, post it for discussion in the OOC development forums, not here.

7. Be bold. The only one who can fill the gap in our knowledge is you! Please help us by filling our wiki.

8. You can only edit material if you create a special Tazlurian wiki account. Please only use one account to adapt our Tazlurian wiki and refrain from creating "sock puppets" to agree with you or force polls. Same rule as in our forums.

9: Vandalism is defined as any bad faith attempt to add bad jokes, nonsense or spam to the Tazlurian Wiki. It is cause for a ban from our community (wiki, forums and chat).

10. All knowledge of the Tazlurian Wiki is OOC knowledge only. To use it IC on our playforums you will need to be able to proof to your moderator that it is realistic and logical for your character to have this knowledge IC.

11. As stated in our Terms of Service which also apply to the Tazlure wiki you give Tazlure and Tazlure.nl first rights to any material submitted which means that although the material remains your intellectual property (and you can reproduce it elsewhere) it can and will be reproduced, in whole or in edited form anywhere in the Tazlure community.
