Regulation 1 - Edits Section 1A, Capitalization The following must be capitalized: Proper nouns (names, battles, wars, planets, eras, and other) Beginning of sentences (even in numbered or bulleted lists) Titles Acronyms Clone trooper should not be capitalized, unless at the beginning of a sentence.

More asterisks should be used to increase the indentation. Numbered lists are another type of list. They are represented by chronological numbers.

For example, if you see a clone who always appears with a unit but it is not directly stated that he is part of it, you may put it down. If you believe that the conclusion you came to is true, please put it down. We would like to know what you think. If you do not believe that the conclusion you arrived at is not true, do not put it down. However, if you believe it is true, you must cite your work with a source (or sources) and an explanation as to how you came to that conclusion. The template {{Assumption}} should be added to the page (see Regulation 3, Section A, Sub-Section 3A.1, Assumption) A bullet in the "Other" section of an article should be created, addressing that there is speculation on the page. If you are unsure, you can leave a message on the talk page, addressing that issue. Any other editors who have thoughts on your subject should place their comments underneath. You may also contact an admin or other user if you have questions that you think they can answer. Section 1G, Deletion and Removal of Information The rules for deleting or removing information from pages are as follows: Pages may only be deleted by someone with certain powers. Because of this, any user who believes a page should be deleted should add in the {{Delete}} template (see Regulation 3, Section A, Sub-Section 3A.2, Delete). Any user may remove information from a page if permission allows. If another user has a problem with their actions, they may approach a CO or leave a message on the talk page. Some reasons for deletion are: Blank page Page consists only or mostly of gibberish Does not relate to the wiki Copied completely from another trusted website Duplicate article The page is fanon and therefore not real Too specific of an article An example would be Hevy's Training Helmet Any other reason that the editor believes to be valid Some reasons for removing information from a page are: Contains gibberish Does not relate to the wiki Information is fanon Copied from any trusted website Any other reason that the editor believes to be valid Section 1H, Other Some other rules include: Only the user can edit their userpage. Other editors need permission to edit it, unless it helps the wiki and no appearance is changed. Otherwise, a message should be left on the message wall. The only exception to this rule is when adding a rank template for the 617th Attack Battalion, or adding in a section for an awards page. Sections 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, and 1E do not have to be applied to message walls, userpages, blogs, or chat. No cursing or other inappropriate language is allowed on this wiki. Please remember to treat other users with respect. All pages and dates should be written in American English, as our official language is that. All articles should be in past tense, as the Star Wars saga takes place a long time ago. Spam editing and vandalism are not tolerated. Table of Contents Next page
