Protocols
These are some standard protocols for adding/editing things on this wiki. It is recommended that you follow these protocols to keep everything on here at least relatively neat and well-organized. As always, posting malicious things here or maliciously deleting content will result in your acitons being rolled back and your account terminated.
Also, be sure to review the formatting guidelines, and try to stay within the standard formats that are currently in use.
Suggesting new features for core gameplay pages
The core gameplay pages (gameplay, stats, and so on) are generally secured, so that only certain people can edit the main pages. This is done to ensure that the main rules of gameplay are not altered. If you would like to suggest additional features for these pages, please use the discussion tab to leave your suggestions. You should then bump the topic Wiki Edit Notification Thread in the Steel Storm Development forum on the tekguild.com forums, so that people know a suggestion has been made and can decide whether to add it to the main page. You can also make general suggestions that you'd like to see someone implement on the suggestions page under the main Steel Storm link.
Suggesting new locations, equipment, etc. for world setting pages
We are still hard at work at developing the Steel Storm universe. If you have ideas for new towns, political players, equipment, races, etc., you should usually add them in a new section at the bottom of the page where they would reasonably belong, or you can also, for areas that link to pages for each area/race/character, create a new page with your information and then link it to the appropriate page for that category. Again, you should mention your change in the edit notificaiton thread. Most additions in this area can be added directly, so long as they generally fit in with the Steel Storm world - however, this is not the place to add your character sheet, your house, etc. You should only add things to the world view that are intended to add something to the world for all of the players.
Adding info to the in-game world
The in-game world is the local configuration for Steel Storm - that is, this is the place to add information on your character, house, etc. Currently, only characters can be added at this point, and you probably shouldn't even do that until we finalize certain parts of the system (skills, etc.). This is the localized part of the game - whereas the other info on gameplay and the general world setting would be used for any group that wants to play Steel Storm, this is the area where Technomancers and/or members of tekguild.com will create their information - characters, and eventually residences, specific events, and so on.
