This article or section is in the process of an expansion or major restructuring and is therefore classed as a work in progress. You are welcome to assist in its construction by editing it as well. If this article or section has not been edited in several days, please remove this template.

Here the C64-Wiki rule book is in the making.

All topics, which should obviously be regulated and have been concludingly discussed in the C64-Wiki:Opinions, the C64-Wiki:Forum or the rule book are summarized here.

Authors

In this section you can read the rules for the authors of articles:

• Articles are not to be signed, as the authors name can be seen in the version history.
• Discussion entries on the other hand need to be signed, so the communication is facilitated.
• Discussion entries which are not signed are complemented by the means of the version history.
• For unregistered users the IP-address with date and time is applied, provided there is no hint to the author in the entry itself.

(see C64-Wiki:Forum "Autor des Artikels")

Categories

Here the rules for the categories are written down.

• Category titles are always in singular (see DE:C64-Wiki:Meinungsbilder/Kategorientitel )
• Numbers (e.g. 1985) as titles for categories, are reserved for categories regarding a particlular year. For instance, Category:1985 is for articles about soft- and hardware releases of that year, and about other significant events in the "community" around the C-64.

Wikipedia articles & the like

To keep an own profile for the C64-Wiki, mere copies from of articles from other lexica are undesired. A link to the knowledge of other web sites to underpin facts is totally sufficient.

External and internal Links

• Links to other C64-Wiki articles - if it exists - are preferable external links.
• The chapter "Links" is using for external links to similair thematics on other websites, but it isn't a link collection (of all external links in the article!).
• External links to other languages websites are marked with ({{DE}}, {{ES}} etc.).
• The link to the other language C64-Wiki projectsites (in the moment only C64-Wiki.de) is set with [[DE:(title)]].
• Link to Wikipedia articles are insert at the end of an article with {{Wikipedia|Name}}.
• Remarks a la "see links" in the article aren't useable. Alternative use: <ref>Eine Fußnoten-Referenz</ref> and <references/> for references.
