Dogcraft Wiki:Guidelines

Articles on the Cyberdog Nation Wiki should be informative, helpful and answer all the questions someone may have about whatever the article topic is. Articles should also be impartial and cohesive, covering all the positives and negatives about the article's topic. In alignment with the server rules, we also expect all articles to adhere to the "PG-13" policy, so inappropriate material is not permitted.

The wiki permits articles about anything to do with the Dogcraft.net server. However, this does not mean everything is necessarily worthy of a page. We would rather have a smaller range of high-quality pages than a broad range of basic and low-quality pages. Often times a single page is more effective at explaining a topic than multiple; we want the wiki to be easy to navigate and gather information from.

Articles about builds

• Insert an infobox - Use the 'build' template!
• Don't forget to fill in your infobox with data, like who built it.
• Provide at least one high-quality screenshot of your build. Add a caption to your picture.
• When giving co-ordinates, you should put in the co-ordinates of the entrance to your build, not the center of it.
• Be neutral. Don't word your article in a way that makes your build sound incredible.
• Your article should make grammatical sense. Or, at least ask someone else to improve the grammar of your article.
• When using references, refer to forum posts, in-game written books, discord messages, screenshots and quotes from others.
• Link to other articles when appropriate.
• Add your build to the 'builds' category and the appropriate world category (Survival 1/Survival 2/MCMMO/Amplified, etc)

Articles about projects

• What is a project? A project is a wider server initiative that involves multiple players, potentially across multiple worlds/across a larger area. It may not involve a specific build, but a larger number of builds that form the project. It is not a town/city, however, as those involve a number of builds from players in a smaller area.
• Insert an infobox - Use the 'project' template!
• Don't forget to fill in your infobox with data, like who is involved in the project/whether or not it is active.
• Provide images to explain your project.
• Be neutral with your wording, address criticisms of your project.
• Your article should make grammatical sense. Or, at least ask someone else to improve the grammar of your article.
• When using references, refer to forum posts, in-game written books, discord messages, screenshots and quotes from others.
• Link to other articles when appropriate.

Articles about towns/cities/bases

• What is a town/city/base? A town or city is a group of builds, usually but not always from a variety of different players in a specific agreed area. Towns/Cities usually have a mayor or set of mayors who are in charge of building and managing the contents of a town. Bases are personal bases that feature a number of builds, but cannot be distinguished as towns or cities. Refer to the following table when distinguishing between towns/cities/bases.

City	Town
Has a large number of extravagant, detailed builds.	Has a smaller number of more basic, lower-scale builds
Is connected to major transport networks such as the SRN or NTN.	May have a smaller SRN connection
Has unique features that distinguish it from other places, such as a specific build style, unique builds or features that make it stand out.	Has a more basic, general style. May have unique features or even a special build style but these features are not on a scale where the place stands out to be a city.
Has large-scale farms or other facilities for citizens of the city to use.	Has basic farms, or none at all.
Is widely considered in the community to be a city; has reached a level of notoriety.	Is not widely considered to be city/has a lower level of notoriety.
(Not a requirement, but a suggestion if your cityis a populated one) A population of 25 players or higher.	(Not a requirement, but a suggestion if your townis a populated one) A population of less than 15 players.

• TIP: Ask others - is your place a town, city or base? If your place is a single, isolated build then it may be more appropriate to label it as such.
• Insert an infobox - Use the 'area' template!
• Don't forget to fill in your infobox with data, like who manages the place/if it is actively expanding.
• Provide images to showcase the area.
• Be neutral with your wording, address criticisms of the place.
• Your article should make grammatical sense. Or, at least ask someone else to improve the grammar of your article.
• When using references, refer to forum posts, in-game written books, discord messages, screenshots and quotes from others.
• Link to other articles when appropriate.
• Add a navbox at the bottom of the world the place is in!
