Articles on the Cyberdog Wiki should be informative, helpful and answer all the questions someone may have about whatever the article topic is. If the article can't answer basic questions, then it isn't useful. When writing an article, refer to this article.

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 other areas that do not fall under the term of town or city. 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.

  • 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.

Articles about other things.
