As with any good public forum, rules and guidelines help maintain order and sanity among readers and editors. The following rules and guidelines are designed so that people will return here to contribute and find quality information. Respecting these rules will help in providing a positive experience for both editors and readers alike.


= Rules of Conduct =
The '''Rules of Conduct''' regulate the interaction between Wiki members. These are in place to ensure that the Wiki remains a civilised place where people can share information freely, without being harassed or abused.
; No Flaming / Flame-baiting
: Abusive comments, personal attacks and name calling are not allowed.
; No bigotry
: Racist, sexist, homophobic or any other type of bigoted posts are not tolerated on this Wiki. Such offences will result in an immediate and permanent block.
: No discussion about illegally obtained software
=== Follow the instructions of the Wiki Admins ===
When a [[Bohemia_Interactive_Community:Administrators|Wiki Sysop]] asks you to stop doing something, please follow their instructions.
=== No Spam ===
We define spam as an article or post that has no real worth, is irrelevant, useless and offers nothing to a discussion. Spam is not limited to text - posting an image as a means of spamming, or as a link to a spam site, will also result in deletion. With spam being hard to define, that decision is left to the moderators' discretion. If in doubt ask yourself "does my reply add any constructive insight to the discussion"? If not, then this Wiki would not be the right place to post your comment.
=== Images ===
No posting of pictures containing porn, real killings, mutilations, wounds, carnage and other disgusting/explicit images. This also includes links to pages that contain such images. The only accepted images for this Wiki must be related to a product of Bohemia Interactive. Keep the following guidelines in mind when uploading and posting pictures here:
* Do not use hotlinked images in the Wiki. Use the [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] function instead to upload images to this Wiki.
* Name the image correctly <tt>gameShort_what_does_it_do.jpg</tt>
** <tt>A3_Briefing_Image.jpg</tt>
** <tt>OFP_Helicopter_Attacking.jpg</tt>
* When appropriate use an image thumbnail on the article page (such as on the [[Operation Flashpoint: Easter Eggs|{{ofp}}: Easter Eggs]] page).
* Avoid using a text link to point to an image. Display the image as thumbnail or sized appropriately for the article.
= Discussion Pages =
Discussion pages are now only used for keeping information for historic reasons. For discussions please join the '''Arma Discord server'''.
= Mod Pages =
{{Feature|important|I'd prefer not to have any community content on this biki (only exception being mikero tools and stuff from the past) [[User:R3vo|R3vo]] ([[User talk:R3vo|talk]]) 16:21, 7 January 2021 (CET)}}
You are welcome to announce your mods on this Wiki under the respective categories ([[:Category:Operation Flashpoint: Community Mod Pages|OFP]] or [[:Category:ArmA: Addon Groups|ArmA]]), but these should be limited to an ''overview'' of your mod, rather than a full-scale documentation.<br>
Each modder (or mod group) is allowed to have a one page description, with up to 8 images embedded. If images for this page are uploaded to this Wiki, their individual size should not exceed 100KB. (Images that are hosted elsewhere, and only linked to, do not fall under this limitation.)
= Writing an Article =
* Post only proven facts
* If unsure about whether something is correct or not, ask others on the Arma Discord server or mark the content so others can see that it might not be fully correct
* Do not use abbreviations such as it's, doesn't, aren't ...
* Try to avoid posting external links whenever possible. They might become outdated or content on external pages might change.
* Use simple English, remember, not everyone is a native speaker
* Avoid ALL CAPS, see [[Bohemia_Interactive_Community:Formatting#Text_formatting_markup|text formatting]] to find out how to properly highlight parts of a text
* Use the preview button before submitting changes
* Let others proof-read your creation before posting
= Formating Guidelines =
These guidelines are here to ensure that articles are presented in a clear, understandable and consistent style.
=== Avoid empty lines ===
* No empty lines underneath sections
<noWiki>
=== Avoid empty lines ===
Here starts the text </noWiki>
=== Categorise your Article ===
Categories help to properly sort the content on this biki.
* Keep the categories to a minimum. Only add the categories which are most relevant and avoid duplication.
=== No Introduction ===
* Do not create an '''Introduction''' section. The text the page starts with is considered the introduction already.
=== Summarise your Changes ===
* When making only small edits check the "This is a minor edit" box at the bottom.
{{Feature|informative|By default all edits are markes as "major". This can be changed to "minor" in your preferences setting.}}
* Add a short summary of what you changed e.g., ''Fixed typo'', ''Removed category''
=== Use Full Names for Titles ===
{{Feature|important|Make use of name templates and GameCategory [[User:R3vo|R3vo]] ([[User talk:R3vo|talk]]) 16:21, 7 January 2021 (CET)}}
When creating new categories or articles, consider the naming convention you are going to use.
<nowiki>[[Operation Flashpoint: Elite]] is more acceptable than [[OFP:Elite]]. The new category or article should almost always be [[Game Title: something]] such as [[Operation Flashpoint: Addons]].</nowiki>
<nowiki>Your choice should always be clear and concise for the reader, and easy for the editor to link back to. Keep in mind that you can use spaces in the name of the article (e.g. [[Armed Assault: Easter Eggs]] would be better than [[Armed Assault:EasterEggs]])</nowiki>
Refer to the [[Naming Conventions]] page for choosing the appropriate name when writing articles.
<!-- not really interesting for the normal user
=== Templates ===
To be concise, easily used and remembered, templates should follow these guidelines:
*They should include an example of usage.
*They should be linked to [[:Category:Templates]] so they are easy to find. Use the <nowiki> <noinclude>[[Category:Templates]] </noinclude> </nowiki>tags around the category to prevent all articles using this template to be categorised automatically.
-->
= Deletion Guidelines =
* Mark pages for deletion first with <noWiki>{{Wiki|delete}}</noWiki> if in doubt
* Pages containing text with no meaning, test pages or similar can be deleted if they are not being used frequently
* Pages marked for deletion with <nowiki>{{Wiki|delete}}</nowiki>
* Information about non-BI games
* Any content that is violating the copyright holder's rights or any other EULA
