The policy of the Schizoid Nightmares Wiki includes compulsory rules and optional guidelines for behaviour and content on the wiki.
Rules[edit]
Abiding by the following rules is compulsory (violations may result in punishment):
- Every user must comply with Miraheze's Terms of Use.
- In order of precedence and provided doing so does not violate the first rule, every user must obey the instructions of users in these groups:
- Every contribution must be relevant to documenting the creative works of Schizoid Nightmares unless doing so violates the first or second rule.
- The wiki does not consider the opinions and comments of Schizoid Nightmares relevant unless they strictly pertain to his creative works.
- Schizoid Nightmares' reviews of other creative works reach relevancy only if recognized by a media platform (e.g. featured by a platform's editorial team).
Guidelines[edit]
Abiding by the following guidelines is optional but highly recommended (violations may result in correction):
- Use Canadian English for the wiki's content and any mutually intelligible variety of English for communication with other users.
- Use YYYY-MM-DD (EST/EDT) as the date format for citations.
- When possible, archive cited sources using the Wayback Machine or archive.today (archive.ph).
- Both the Wayback Machine and archive.today appear to capture dates in UTC; correct these capture dates to EST/EDT when citing them.
- Use archive.today for Reddit archives, as the Wayback Machine does not appear to archive Reddit posts properly (e.g. usernames are often missing from posts).
- If archiving Instagram posts, use Picuki.com. Instagram, either unintentionally or by design, prevents archiving, redirects both the Wayback Machine and archive.today to login pages, or causes either to get stuck in a loop. Picuki.com seems to be the only reliable means of archiving Instagram posts.
- To avoid ambiguity, use the Oxford comma, and unless doing so creates ambiguity, use American style quotations.
- If relevant and possible, add categories in alphabetical order on pages.
- When determining the word count of written works, use Apple's Pages (the writing software Schizoid Nightmares uses).
