Before contributing please observe these guidelines:

  1. You have to login using your OpenID before editing/creating pages.
  2. Please join the forum and discuss any changes first
  3. If you write something opinionated, sign it with your username (there is a button on the edit window for inserting one).
  4. Please only create pages directly relating to XCRI on this wiki. Other pages will likely be deleted.
  5. Please obey the naming conventions for pages.
  6. Only use talk pages for notes; discuss changes using the forum. (See #2).
  7. Please try to ensure that you produce valid XHTML.
  8. When you paste code, add some line breaks at a reasonable width.
  9. Please do not use "?" or other punctuation in the headings - it helps to keep the URLs to their fragment identifiers shorter and easier to read, copy/paste etc.
  10. Avoid renaming/changing heading text, including even just their capitalization. Headings are often used as permalinks, and changing the heading breaks such permalinks that have already been used.
  11. Please avoid simple contradictory responses such as "No" to questions and issues. Instead provide at least a short sentence with a reason which provides information beyond what is provided in the question or issue.
