Submissions

EF's wiki is built on the PmWiki platform and has its own markup (formatting) language, so you might want to play around in the Sandbox before editing a real page.

Editing Pages

Password

To edit or create a wiki page, you'll need the member password, which can be found in the Wiki Access box in the sidebar on the forum index. (This box is only visible to EF's members, so you may need to log in.)

Author

Please make sure to sign your work by putting your member name in the Author field (above the Publish and Save Draft buttons) on the Editing page. (See How do I sign my work?)

Profiles

You may want to make a wiki profile for yourself to list your characters and wiki contributions. Probably the easiest way to do this is to edit the link in your browser's address bar from the page you're currently viewing (eg. from .../Main/Submissions to .../Profiles/YourName, like mine).

Standards & Conventions

Please review the Wiki Standards we've put in place for writing wiki articles. These are geared toward making every page across the wiki consistent, and includes information on how to title pages, how to cross-reference and so on.

MarkUp

Do not use HTML or BBCode. EF's wiki has its own markup instead (see Basic Editing for an introduction).

How to Submit

To add a page to the wiki, please insert the name of the page you want to create (eg. "Chiolen" or "SunshineWinters") into the appropriate buttons below, and then fill out the template (that should be automatically provided) to the best of your ability.

The following require staff approval and should be saved as drafts, not published. Then, contact me (via PM or even the shoutbox) with a link to your draft and I'll approve it ASAP.

These buttons also appear in the sidebar whenever you're in the appropriate group (eg. while viewing NPCs, you should see buttons to create a new NPC page).

Tips on Submitting

First and foremost, I'm looking for originality in submissions. EF is meant to be an original game, and while in the beginning we referred a lot to, and adapted, mythology and folklore, I'm very much hoping future submissions will be more personal to our setting.

That said, I'm okay with you taking inspiration from things in the real world, as referencing real life is often the best way to keep your ideas realistic and there are so many crazy, wonderful things on Earth (be it creature, plant or ancient history), but the key word here is inspiration.

I am very strict about plagiarism where I find it, so please don't submit creatures that aren't yours to submit. I also want EF's setting to be as unique as possible, so I'd rather not find the things in our world on some other site. There again, I don't claim ownership of the things our members submit, so it is ultimately your choice what you do with them.

Disclaimer

In submitting your ideas to our site, you are agreeing to let us use them whether or not you remain a member, and obviously given the nature of roleplay that will include other members adding to your work.

I will remove content if the author is adamant about it because our members retain all rights to their own work, but doing so disturbs the flow of the game so I really would rather not do so if it can be avoided (hence this disclaimer).

Copyright will always remain with the author, except in those cases where submissions are directly inspired by or derived from something created specifically for Elysian Fields.
