Doom Wiki:Policies and guidelines

Since this wiki is in an extremely early stage, everything on this page is preliminary and SHOULD be challenged. Please add your thoughts on the talk page!

Things that may have articles

 * The games
 * Obviously.


 * Levels, items, monsters, etc from the games
 * Of course


 * Terminology
 * Sure


 * Statistics and trivia
 * Things like list of vanilla maps by size are the very purpose of this wiki...


 * WADs
 * If released


 * LMPs
 * If notable (e.g. 30uv1617)


 * Editors
 * There aren't that many, so, sure


 * Source ports
 * Sure


 * People
 * Anyone with some recorded achievement in the Doom community. For example, having released at least two WADs, or holding at least two Compet-N records. Playing in a clan or having a forum account on Doomworld does not count. Except for id Software people, no biographies please. List people's directly Doom-related activities and nothing else. A link to their personal website might be OK.


 * Websites
 * Except personal websites where the only content is about that person.

Images

 * Original images should be released under the GNU Free Documentation License
 * Screenshots may be used on the Doom Wiki, under "fair use"
 * Although screenshots are OK, raw graphics from the IWADs are not
 * You may only upload screenshots you have created yourself
 * Screenshots should be taken in software rendered mode, with settings as closely as possibly resembling vanilla Doom (unless the screenshot is for showing off a port specifically)
