__TOC__

This editing guide explains how to safely change existing pages and how to make edits that other editors can review, improve, or reverse if needed.

== Who should edit ==

Editors should make changes when they can improve accuracy, clarity, formatting, structure, or usefulness. If an editor is unsure about mechanics or policy, they should add a maintenance notice or use the page discussion area rather than publishing uncertain claims as fact.

== Edit or create? ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Situation'''
! '''Action'''
|-
| The page already covers the topic but is incomplete.
| Edit the existing page.
|-
| The page is outdated but still the right home for the topic.
| Update the page and add a clear edit summary.
|-
| A subsection has become long enough to be its own guide.
| Create a new page and leave a link from the parent page.
|-
| The subject is a local FC procedure, not a general game mechanic.
| Create or update a corporation, alliance, or coalition policy page.
|-
| The change affects controversial policy or access.
| Discuss first or request review before making broad changes.
|}

== Safe editing workflow ==

# Read the full page before editing a section.
# Check the last verified date and recent page history.
# Use Edit source for markup-heavy changes.
# For major rewrites, copy the page into a sandbox or user draft first.
# Make the smallest edit that solves the problem unless a full rewrite is justified.
# Preview the edit before saving.
# Check links, tables, references, and categories in preview.
# Write an edit summary that explains the change.
# After saving, review the rendered page.
# If the page is important, add it to your watchlist.

== Source editor quick reference ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Purpose'''
! '''Wikitext'''
|-
| Level 2 heading
| <code><nowiki>== Heading ==</nowiki></code>
|-
| Level 3 heading
| <code><nowiki>=== Heading ===</nowiki></code>
|-
| Bold
| <code><nowiki>'''Bold text'''</nowiki></code>
|-
| Italic
| <code><nowiki>''Italic text''</nowiki></code>
|-
| Internal link
| <code><nowiki>[[Page name]]</nowiki></code>
|-
| Piped internal link
| <code><nowiki>[[Page name|display text]]</nowiki></code>
|-
| External link
| <code><nowiki>[https://example.org display text]</nowiki></code>
|-
| Bullet list
| <code><nowiki>* Item</nowiki></code>
|-
| Numbered list
| <code><nowiki># Step</nowiki></code>
|-
| Category tag
| <code><nowiki>[[Category:Guides]]</nowiki></code>
|-
| Link to a category page
| <code><nowiki>[[:Category:Guides|Guides]]</nowiki></code>
|-
| Reference
| <code><nowiki><ref>Source text or link.</ref></nowiki></code>
|-
| Reference list
| <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>
|-
| Redirect
| <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Target page]]</nowiki></code>
|}

== Using discussion pages ==

* Use the discussion page for proposed major rewrites, disputed claims, protected pages, and policy questions.
* Sign discussion comments with four tildes: [[User:Solomon Iskander|Solomon Iskander]] ([[User talk:Solomon Iskander|talk]]) 04:52, 6 July 2026 (UTC).
* Summarize the specific change requested instead of asking vague questions.
* For complicated changes, include the proposed replacement wikitext so a reviewer can copy it directly.

== Maintenance notices ==

Use maintenance notices to route work to editors. Do not leave work-in-progress notices on pages indefinitely.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Notice type'''
! '''Use when'''
|-
| Work in progress
| You are actively editing the page and expect to continue soon. Remove it when done.
|-
| Update
| The page is likely outdated because of game, policy, system, or process changes.
|-
| Cleanup
| The page has grammar, formatting, organization, readability, or style problems.
|-
| Verify
| A specific claim may be wrong but has not yet been confirmed.
|-
| Merge
| The page overlaps substantially with another page.
|}

== Editing standards for common changes ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Change'''
! '''Standard'''
|-
| Typo fix
| Make directly, preview, save with a concise edit summary.
|-
| Formatting cleanup
| Keep content meaning unchanged unless the edit summary says otherwise.
|-
| Procedure update
| Verify the procedure and update expected results.
|-
| Policy update
| Confirm owner approval before publishing.
|-
| Calculation update
| Update assumptions, formula, source, and example values together.
|-
| Screenshot or image update
| Use current UI, crop clearly, and explain the image in nearby text.
|-
| Category update
| Use approved categories and avoid creating near-duplicates.
|}

== Edit summary standards ==

* Good edit summaries explain what changed and, when necessary, why.
* Do not use empty summaries for meaningful edits.
* Use minor-edit marking only for changes that do not alter meaning.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Weak summary'''
! '''Better summary'''
|-
| Fix
| Fix broken internal links in troubleshooting section
|-
| Update
| Update invention steps for current FC structure workflow
|-
| Cleanup
| Reformat requirements table and remove duplicate text
|-
| Stuff
| Add risk controls for Low Sec hauling
|}

== Editing checklist ==

* The edit improves accuracy, clarity, structure, or maintenance.
* The edit does not introduce unsupported mechanics claims.
* The edit does not mix FC policy with general game mechanics.
* Tables, links, and references still render correctly.
* The page still follows the standard guide structure.
* The last verified date was updated only when the content was actually verified.
* The edit summary is useful to future reviewers.

== Standard maintenance notices ==

The exact template names depend on what has been installed on the F4L5E G0DS EVE-EMU wiki. If these templates do not exist yet, create them or use plain-text notices until the template set is available.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Notice'''
! '''Suggested wikitext'''
! '''When to remove'''
|-
| Work in progress
| <code><nowiki>{{Work in progress}}</nowiki></code>
| When active editing is complete or has gone stale.
|-
| Update
| <code><nowiki>{{Update|reason=Needs verification after latest mechanics or policy change.}}</nowiki></code>
| When content has been updated and verified.
|-
| Cleanup
| <code><nowiki>{{Cleanup|reason=Needs formatting, references, or technical-writing pass.}}</nowiki></code>
| When style, grammar, structure, and readability issues are fixed.
|-
| Verify
| <code><nowiki>{{Verify|reason=Specific claim needs confirmation.}}</nowiki></code>
| When the specific claim has been confirmed or corrected.
|-
| Merge
| <code><nowiki>{{Merge|Target page}}</nowiki></code>
| When merge decision is complete.
|}

== Sources consulted ==

The document adapts standards to the F4L5E G0DS EVE-EMU context rather than copying external guide text. Sources consulted for structure and practices:
