Wiki contribution guide

First of all, thank you for contributing to the Post-Self wiki! This guide will help through the process of creating and editing pages.

Types of canon

There are three types of canon that will appear on this wiki:

• Canon: information from works that have been actively published. This is largely immutable.
• Paracanon: information that actively informs canon, yet which does not appear in the work itself. This may be mutable. You may wish to mark paracanon using the {{Paracanon}} template within the section containing it.
• Protocanon: information that is in development, nice to have, or generally accepted within the community, yet which is unrelated to any of the canon. This may not be a wise choice to include on the wiki as a source of truth. Please mark protocanon as such using the {{Protocanon}} template within the section containing it.

Things such as headcanon or noncanon information are best kept to community spaces.

Sourcing

Sourcing may be done via citations, in the text, or devoting a section to the work. The goal is not to be super nitpicky about it, but along finer points, it might be worth it to point others in the direction of where to look.

Discussion

While talk pages are handy, talking things out in the Discord server or Telegram group might provide more immediate feedback. All the same, be open to discussion surrounding various points, and work to find a path forward that helps maintain a coherent knowledgebase.
