MIPS Hole Wiki/Rules and Guidelines

In order to interact with the wiki, you must follow these rules in regards to the community and the creation of pages. If you ever need help, feel free to join the MIPS Hole Discord to ask for help. The server is linked on the main page.

General Rules

 * 1) Be civil: Treat other users with the respect they deserve, and don't be intentionally offensive or rude to other members. Vulagr language is allowed, but offensive comments (e.g. slurs) towards other users will not be tolerated.
 * 2) Be mature: There's nothing wrong with being silly, but please act mature and respectful to other users. If a user tells you to stop doing something that is annoying them, then stop doing it.
 * 3) Keep roleplay to a minimum: Roleplay is good for expanding ideas and creating an interactive experience, however roleplay should be kept to a minimum from comment sections and unrelated forum threads.
 * 4) No backseat moderation: Don't try to act like a moderator when you see a user breaking the rules, you're giving them the attention they desire. Instead report it to a staff member.
 * 5) No spam: Do not spam at all, whether it be continous posting or screen-filling zalgo messages. It is a pain for normal users to see, and admins to clean up.
 * 6) No sockpuppets: Do not use a sockpuppet account to evade a block. This'll just result in another block. The only instance we allow alternative accounts is for lore purposes, however this is ill-advised.
 * 7) Keep tophats: If a tophat is placed on your page by a member of staff, do not remove it. It was put there for a reason. If you believe your page has been wrongfully given a tophat, contact staff about it. In no way should you ever remove star article tophats.

Page Guidelines

 * 1) Remain formal: Write in standard English with proper punctuation and grammar. Keep a formal tone while writing, and write the page as if you're reporting on a discovery second-hand.
 * 2) Keep in style: Keeping within the wiki style can be hard. Use other pages as a pointer as to how you should write your page, and try to keep the use of sub-headings to a minimum.
 * 3) Edit cautiously: Be cautious on what pages you edit. All pages are treated as public on the wiki, although a page's original creator has the right to undo your edits if they conflict with their desires. Usually, any pages that are based off anything on the Iceberg are usually fair game.
 * 4) Stay with the lore: There's an attempt to keep our tone and lore consistent between pages, so read the Community Canon if you're stumped. As a general rule of thumb, try to write as if it was an intended feature without any malice or creepiness behind it.

Exemplar Pages
Here are a few pages that are good to use as a building ground. Do not feel bad if you cannot reach the level of quality nor the length of these pages, but do strive to be like them.
