My Message

Welcome to my user page! This page will be my Scribble Pad, where I randomly drop notes that assists me with this RimWorld Wiki development. Feel free to leave me messages in my User-Talk page, and I will reply you as soon as I can.

Whenever I am online actively editing the wiki, I will be logged in to the IRC channel.

My Wiki Style

• Preferred Naming Convention - Category = CamelCase
• Preferred Naming Convention - Template = CamelCase
• Preferred Naming Convention - Page = snake_case
• Preferred Naming Convention - File = snake_case

How I see the Wiki structure...

• Category
  • Administration
  • Templates (follow format suggested in Template:Documentation#Usage)
    • Administration
    • Static Information (ex. Menu / Navigation)
    • Styling (ex. Infobox)
  • Pages
    • Administration (ex. To-Do Page)
  • Files

Category need to be structured for both Administration, Content, and File.
Templates should only contain design and formatting, and never contain data unless its Static Information.
Templates should always use named parameters when creating/editing the template AND during usage of the template.
Template parameters should always include default value.
Pages should only contain contents, and should prevent any inline design or formatting.
Files should be kept updated with history intact. So one should update the file instead of creating a new file to replace an existing one.
I personally dislike the use of sub-pages, however they have their place...

To Be Completed
