Introduction
This page intends to list the Wiki Guidelines. Every contributor should follow those guidelines when contributing to B&B Wiki.
Guidelines
- No copyrighted material without permission by the owner.
- Must follow the B&B general guidelines. Wiki is part of B&B so all B&B Term of Usage apply
- Follow naming convention for file names. The file should have a name that means something, it can be difficult to associate DSC0001.JPG. The current usage is to give the company name, model/product name and product type when it's a product. As an example, Mandom Lucido Aftershave.jpg.
- If using a forum post as the basis of an article, contact the owner first. Additionally, include a link back to the post for credit as well as discussion.
- Use templates when available. These aren't formal wiki templates, but sample pages where members can cut and paste to keep a more consistent look
- Use a spellchecker before posting new articles or edits.
- All information is to be unbiased, and shall not include opinions or preferences. Use the forum for these discussions.
- Add things as needed. Think twice before deleting something. For example, if a soap is reformulated, keep the old formulation and add the new formulation with a date. There are many New Old Stock soaps in past formulations in the wild. If the manufacturer for something changes, update the current manufacturer and the information for the prior manufacturer with dates.
- If you are unsure or have a question, contact a Wiki Caretaker
