    Do you mean in chat windows, or when you see someone in-game?

     

    In game, I think that it isn't needed — you can see the avatar, and players got a choice of male/female on character creation (and/or when they used a golden mirror). Now if you'd wanted to argue that there should be a gender neutral avatar, then I absolutely support that.

     

    In chat, I do support it. I've lost track of how many times I've been called "sir" by people who think they're being polite. Which makes it awkward to correct them...

    Same, Sheffie! I get called Bro a lot. :D And a gender neutral avatar! That's a really good idea, too. 


  2. Wurmpedia Guidelines

     

    The guidelines are in place to help us to bring consistency to the Wurmpedia. Any deliberate disregard, including (but not limited to) vandalism, will be met with an immediate block on the user account. The decision to block an account is never taken lightly, however as with all challenges an appeal may be made to the Wurmpedia Manager via forum PM. For further clarification please contact a WA or see the Wurmpedia editing handbook

    General Rules (Users/Editors)

    1. Please adhere to the Wurm Online rules in all areas of the Wurmpedia. The most up to date rules can be found here: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/123123-wurm-rules/

     

    2. User/Editor accounts are only able to modify specific namespaces. A namespace is the portion of a page before a colon, and any page without this is considered to be a part of the Main namespace. The current namespaces a user may edit are:

    •  Main: The pages you probably think of when you think of the Wurmpedia. All the items, skills, game mechanics pages. 
    •  User - This refers to the Wurmpedia account username. Must be edited by the current owner of the account or with authorization of the current owner.
    •  Settlement - This refers to villages within Wurm Online. Settlement pages must be edited by the mayor or persons authorized by the mayor.
    •  Player - This refers to players in Wurm Online. Must be edited by the current owner of the account or with authorization of the current owner.
    •  Lore - This refers to stories related to gameplay. Official game lore is found in the main namespace.
    •  Guides - This namespace is for unofficial guides, where you can share your expertise in a specific area that may help other players!

     

    3. Users/Editors modifying User, Settlement, Player, Lore or Guides pages should only modify pages that they have created or on authorization of the original author or subject of page.

     

    4. You may not create Player or Settlement pages for Wurm Unlimited players and villages.

     

    5. You may not create pages that advertise for Wurm Unlimited servers or products and services offered outside of Wurm Online.

     

    6. Please do not engage in “edit/revert wars”. If an editor has made a mistake, simply correct the mistake or seek the author out and inform them politely.

    • If you find your work corrected and feel it was in error, please seek a Wurmpedia Assistant for clarification. Please do not take it personally or get abusive. 
    • Information must be factually accurate and confirmed through playing Wurm Online. If you are unsure about any information, do not post it on any articles.
      • You may not include speculation, general advice, or any other information other than confirmed facts.
      • Do not include dates for when an update affected a mechanic to work in a different way.
    • Do not add articles for specific cooking recipes - they are being left out to allow players to explore the new mechanic on their own!
    • Wurm Unlimited may not be used to confirm mechanics, but may be used for providing screenshots when needed.
    • Please attempt to use clear words and keep information relevant to the page. For example:
      • Do: Clearly describe what a skill does.
      • Do not: Create a table of specific skill gains at each skill level with a specific tool. (This would go great in a guide that you can put on the forums!)
    • You may use the discussions page when information may not be clear or confirmed as a means to gather more information.
    • You may not change the color scheme or general layout of any Main namespace page without consent of Wurmpedia staff.
    • Creation of new templates, major changes to existing pages, or any other large scale change should be brought to Wurmpedia staff before beginning work.
    • When in doubt, post in the Wurmpedia forums or ask a Wurmpedia Assistant for help. Please adhere to their guidance.

    Disputes & Abuse

    1. Any abuse of the Wurmpedia, such as violating the rules mentioned above, falsifying information on the account application, or vandalizing any page will result in the permanent loss of your Wurmpedia account.

     

    2.Any use of vulgar language on any page will result in Wurmpedia staff changing the page to remove the vulgarity and may result in loss of account privileges.

    a.Disputes over authorization to edit a page will always default to the proven owner of the character, settlement or user account.

     

    3. Ownership will be determined as follows:

    •  Settlements will default to the current mayor. Should the mayor be unavailable the disputed changes will be reverted.
    •  Players will default to the current owner of the player as determined by the Wurm Online GM team. If the current owner is unavailable, the disputed changes will be reverted.
    •  Users will default to the email address registered on the Wurmpedia account. Again, if there is no response then the changes will be reverted.

     

    4. Repeated involvement in disputes may be seen as abuse.


  3. We've had a few questions about this, so here are some answers!

     

    Discord - We have a Wurmpedia Discord (separate from the official Wurm Discord). While we do chat there, it's not for CA type questions or general Wurm chat & memes (Except in the #general chat channel). Questions about the wiki, guidelines, how to help, or what to test out are all welcome. 

     

    https://discord.gg/AYPPCS6

     

     

    PM or Wurmpedia forum section - You can PM any of us on the forums or post in the Wurmpedia forum section. This can be good for long, complex ideas or discussions. Important/emergency communications can go right to Oluffus (Wurmpedia Manager). 

     

    In game - Like you, we are players and so are usually AFK, on an alt, fighting a troll, or ignoring all our tabs while we talk in alliance chat. If you come across something while playing that needs to be corrected, feel free to PM a Wurmpedia Assistant, but another method might be better for links, in game text that needs to be corrected, etc. 

     

    Wurmpedia staff members-See this post for an updated list. 

     


  4. The following need new images. Please post some images here and Assistants or I can upload them and link them up. Please also suggest pages that need new images and we can add them to the list. 

     

    Note: Feel free to take images from Wurm Unlimited or Deed Planner if not from Wurm Online.

     

    Thanks in advance for your help!

     

    Providing Images
    You may post screenshots or cropped pictures that are needed to this thread for an Assistant to format and upload onto the wiki. You can also add them to the Discord upload pic dump channel or send us an imgur link via PM or IRC. You can always contact the Wurmpedia team if you are unsure about anything. 
     
    Item and Creature image guidelines
    * Ensure that your game settings are such that texture quality is set to maximum before taking a screenshot (as high as possible for textures and anti-aliasing).

    * When (if) editing the screenshot, the resulting image should be of decent resolution, having a ratio no greater than 1.6, and cropped so that only the subject appears centered in the frame.

    * They should be well-lit as to not be too dark and set against a background that helps visibility, and should not contain a mouse-over hover (blue outline). Try to use a contrasting background that isn't too busy, such as marble or stone slab or wood flooring if the item is lighter in color.

    * The image should be compressed as a Jpeg (JPG) to reduce file size, but still maintain a high degree of image quality.
