Creating Pages
Notability
Notability guidelines aren't strict. We just don't want pages about terrible websites. Please don't put up pages just because your friend made them. Post them for good content. You can put up a really obscure website if you want, as long as the creator put effort into it.
Title
The title should be a full URL, but shouldn't include http:// or unnecessary slashes at the end. Also, a page title should never be capitalized. Please make sure your website addresses are accurate before creating the page.
- GOOD: www.-------.---
- BAD: http://---.-------.---
- BAD: www.-------.---/
- BAD: Www.-------.---
- REALLY BAD: Http://www.-------.---/
Format
--Page title at the top
--Below is a short description of the website (include link to it).
--Next, your organized essay, with titles and subtitles.
--Finally, if you have any external links put them here under an "External Links" heading (you should not include the website here). Also, sources go here (your main source should be the website itself).
Editing Pages
What to Add
On the page, add anything you like, as long as it is accurate, not opinionated, and keeps the format shown above. Please do not leave this format, or stray from the topic of the page. When editing, try to stay concise, and leave out pointless details. Also, don't delete other people's work unless it doesn't follow the three rules above. If it doesn't, please do delete, and write in the summary why.
How to Add
Most of the time, you will just type text in. However, for more complicated pages, there are some things you need to know.
-''italicized text'' (two apopstrophes on each side of a line of text) makes italics text<br> -'''bold text''' makes bold text (three apostrophes)<br> -five makes bold and italics<br> -four makes bold text, with apostrophes around it
