This page covers a number of '''Frequently Asked Questions''' about the project, its guidelines and intricacies.

== Questions and Answers ==

=== Is the Cyberdog Wiki Project official? ===
'''Answer: '''Though [[ReNDoG]] has officially recognized the wiki as "our [Cyberdog Nation] wiki" and the wiki may be freely discussed and linked within public chat, the service is not run by a division of the official staff team, rather unofficially by community members. For this reason, many refer to the wiki as "unofficially official", though as of now we are an unofficial service.

=== Who runs the Cyberdog Wiki Project? ===
'''Answer: '''[[User:William278|William278]] and [[User:darparnioxDC|darparniox]] are the current [[Cyberdog Nation Server Wiki:Guidelines#Administrators|project administrators]], so they are in charge of the wiki's design and policies. However, the community may freely create and manage pages, so truly the project has no leader, rather "managers" who ensure the wiki has high quality content.

=== Can I link the discord for my topic within its wiki page? ===
'''Answer: '''No. We've had a few discussions on this topic within the discord in the past and our conclusion was that we'd like to avoid pages becoming self promotion. We also can't verify the content of discords either and we'd like to align the wiki with the server and forum rules. Furthermore, you probably may not want random readers joining your discord. As ''Cookies58_'' put it:{{Quote|quote = well, with the Chronia discord, I really only want people we know, it would be hard to tell people to leave after they joined though the wiki.|speaker = Cookies58_}}

=== What about pages for occurrences like the Bean War and the Riddening? ===
''See Also: [[Cyberdog Nation Server Wiki:Guidelines#What deserves an article on the Wiki?|CWP:Guidelines § What deserves an article on the Wiki?]]''

'''Answer: '''As per the Wiki Guidelines, we don't like writing articles about negative or niche topics:
