The house rules for this instance. Start at the Help:Contributing hub if you are new here.
The rules
- One concept per item — merge duplicates instead of creating near-copies.
- Reuse properties — propose a new property only when nothing fits.
- Cite your sources — add at least one reference per factual statement; that is what makes it a knowledge base, not just a wiki.
- English labels are mandatory — additional languages are welcome (site language:
en). - Datatype is forever — double-check the datatype before creating a property.
- Ask the admin for an account, for deletions, or to install bulk tools.
- Code blocks carry
copy— every block-mode<syntaxhighlight>includescopy(see code);inlineblocks are the exception.
