Editing Guidelines
From SCP: Secret Laboratory English Official Wiki
More actions
- Always talk about default config options first.
- When transcribing something from ingame, such as a document or The Operational Guide, write it exactly how it appears in game, do NOT fix any grammar/spelling mistakes or incorrect information.
- Never talk about plugins. The only exception to this rule is for the Coin page as that item exist for plugins.
- The Coin Page should only list some examples and not go into detail over the plugins.
- Do not edit the Coin Page to say what it does for YOUR server or any other server.
- All measurements must be in metric or hubes. Imperial is not allowed.
- Do not add community given nicknames to the wiki: These include things such as "Wallnut, Tumornut, Weed Room, etc".
- Do not destroy pages.
- When adding information to a page, make sure it is not being caused by a plugin.
- Always use official names when ever possible.
- The following steps are to be used for "Official Names"
- If the thing is an item, the name in the inventory is considered the Official Name.
- If the thing is NOT an item (or in the case of the Lantern, unable to have two pages named "Flashlight") then the official name will be transcribed from text on the model. For example, "Emergency Power Station" comes from the model.
- If the above two are not possible, the official name will be taken from somewhere else ingame, such as CASSIE announcements, Operational Guides or documents.
- If all three are not possible, the official name will come from changelogs.
- Names of items, objects, mechanics etc should always be capitalized. For example: Emergency Power Station, Coin, Flashlight, Facility Guard.
- List should always be in alphabetical order. So Flashbang Grenade should appear above items like Painkillers but below items like Coins. Items that start with a number, like the 3-X Molecular Disruptor, should appear at the top of the list and follow a numerical order. Making list follow a 123ABC Format. SCPs are always listed in numerical order.
- There are some exceptions to the alphabetical/numerical rules, they are the following:
- Armor is always grouped together and listed from weakest to strongest:
- Light Armor --> Combat Armor --> Heavy Armor
- Keycards are always grouped together and listed in the following order:
- Janitor Keycard --> Scientist Keycard --> Research Supervisor Keycard --> Containment Engineer Keycard --> Guard Keycard --> Private Keycard --> Sergeant Keycard --> Captain Keycard --> Zone Manager Keycard --> Facility Manager Keycard --> Chaos Insurgency Access Device --> O5 Keycard
- Ammo is always grouped together and listed in the following order:
- 9x19mm --> 5.56x45mm --> 7.62x39mm Ammo --> 12/70 Buckshot Ammo --> .44 Mag Ammo
- When it comes to 914, the "remainder" ammo is **ALWAYS** below the main amount.
- 9x19mm --> 5.56x45mm --> 7.62x39mm Ammo --> 12/70 Buckshot Ammo --> .44 Mag Ammo
- Loot Tables will always list items in the order of spawn chance from highest to lowest. This overrides all previous exceptions.
- When listing item/spawn IDs, always go from lowest to highest. This overrides all previous exceptions.
- Armor is always grouped together and listed from weakest to strongest:
