New page

This page is a general guide for editing this wiki. It's still a work in progress. If you have any questions or suggestions for this page, talk about it in the discord

== Goals ==

* We're currently focusing on fulfilling the core tasks of the wiki. Which is mostly miniatures and rule pages, as well cataloguing official releases and fanworks.
* We're not currently doing advice or guide type content (such as the old Tactics category), past experience has shown that this quickly gets outdated or inaccurate.
* The Quickplay Armies category is gone since it seems obsolete now that we have the community lists function on Army Forge.
* Lore content is mostly limited until we have a better idea as to how we want to organize it.
* Basically, before you make a new page, ask yourself if it properly fits in any of the existing categories. If not ask on the discord before proceeding.
* Look at [[Wiki ToDo List]] if you're looking for something to work on.

== Guidelines and tips ==

* Make sure to spell the names of the OPR games correctly including the colon. For example in "Grimdark Future: Star Quest", note the space between Star and Quest
* Do not share text from the Advanced Rulebook or other premium sources here. Descriptions of it is fine.
* All the pages from the old wiki are archived in a separate namespace. You can find the old pages by adding "old:" in front of the page title in the URL, for example: [[OLD:Beastmen Miniatures]]

== Rules ==

* The existing Rules, but feel free to suggest what else could be useful here.

== Miniatures ==

* Look to <nowiki>[[TBD]]</nowiki> as an example of how a minis page should look.
* The main minis pages should only cover OPR, GW and Mantic (were relevant). Other ""manufactures"" go on a separate page
* Link to the unit's MMF page for OPR, store pages for GW and Mantic. If something is out of print, link to [https://miniset.net/sets/onepagerules miniset.net] instead

== Lore and Stories ==

* The Rules category probably doesn't need anymore pages, but feel free to suggest what else could be useful here.

== Misc ==

* This category is mostly to archive some stuff. Maybe it will be expanded.
