| ==Policies and Guidelines==
| |
| | |
| ===SWC and Canon===
| |
| The Holocron is the in character (IC) Wiki of the [http://swcombine.com SWCombine]. All articles should be written from an IC, yet neutral perspective. They have to describe the SWCombine universe exclusively. This is important for topics or entities that also exist in the canon Star Wars universe. You can put a link to appropriate external sources (e.g. Wookipedia) to make standard canon information more easily accessible, but make sure to not contaminate the SWCombine universe with canon universe material.
| |
| | |
| ===Neutral Point of View===
| |
| Aim to follow the real life [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view Wikiedia's standards for a neutral point of view] (NPOV). Some rules need to be used with a grain of salt, e.g. what an "authoritative source" is. In this case SWCombine rules should augment the Wikipedia guildelines, in this case [http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?GNS | GNS rules] should be applied, namely:
| |
| | |
| :''"Topics detailing major events can be either based on database-affecting actions taken in the game (ie: if you actually took over a planet) or actions said to occur outside the limited abilities of the game-client.
| |
| | |
| :Topics that are not relevant to any database-affecting actions require the permission of any faction leader/owner whose faction's actions you choose to godmode. ie: You cannot claim to have recently destroyed a dozen Star Destroyers without first getting permissions to assume such a claim from."''
| |
| ===Editing===
| |
| You must have an account to create new pages or editexisting ones. As we are using the same wiki software as Wikipedia, you can use the tutorials and help pages at Wikipedia to learn how to edit pages. Here are the most essential ones:

| * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Editing | Edititing FAQ]
| |
| | |
| ===Language and Style===
| |
| Ahering to strict norms of spelling or grammar is not essential for the Holocron. Many memebrs of the SWCombine are not native speakers of English and should not be discouraged from contributing by putting too much emphasis on flawless language. Still correct mistakes that you find. If you are looking for guidance, please refer to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style | Wikipedia manual of style]. This should also be consulted in case of a dispute.
