9b6t:Guidelines

Please follow these quality-related rules while creating or editing a page. Nobody wants to clean your mess up.

General rules

 * Write in grammatically correct English.
 * Do not use the first or second person unless it is a direct quote.
 * Use consistent style inside an article.
 * Use templates, when appropriate, e.g. use Template:Player on Player articles. For more info, see 9b6t:Templates.
 * For only tangentially related content and/or personal diaries or something, use the userspace (e.g. User:example or User:example/Blog).
 * Try to be objective and unbiased.
 * Avoid using  at all costs.

Lists

 * Use lists only to count elements of the same type or for a timeline.
 * If in doubt, prefer a continuous text over a list.
 * Do not put  in lists.
 * The structure of elements should be similar (e.g. do not make a list of nouns and then add a full sentence to the list).
 * Either put punctuation at the end of all elements or at the end of none.
 * If the list consists of full sentences or some elements have punctuation, put full stops at the end of all elements.

Use of sections, bold and italic
July 14th, 2020 but rather this: === July 14th, 2020 === == References == .
 * Do not use sections with the same name as the article.
 * Prefer sections over bold font, i.e. do not do this:
 * Some event.
 * Some event.
 * Use italic over bold for emphasis.
 * Use bold in the first sentence of an article, to mark alternative names for the topic the article covers.
 * Use bold in the first sentence of a section, to mark the name of the topic the section covers.
 * Do not mark the same phrase bold multiple times.
 * If there is another section or an entire article about the same topic, add See also:  or Main article:  and a link to the section or article in question.
 * If an article contains references add following to the end of the article:
 * Add  to the end of any userspace article, if you want it to be easily found.
 * You may not need to categorize a page if the template handles categorization automatically.

Player articles

 * Use Template:Player.
 * Follow the template documentation.
 * Only create a player article if they are on this list.
 * The player is considered in inactive, if they have announced that they are leaving the server or if they have not logged in for 30 days.
 * If a player is inactive, use their Minecraft IGN and Discord Name from when they were last active.

Team articles

 * Use Template:Team.
 * Follow the template documentation.
 * The team has continuously consisted of at least five active players, on 9b6t for the past week.
 * Is known by other players, specifically oldfags.

Date and Time

 * Write dates out (use "July 2nd 2019" or "2nd of July 2019" instead of 02.07.2019 or 07/02/2019).
 * Use the suffix th for every number, except:
 * It ends with the digit 1, then use st.
 * Exception: if the number ends with 11, use th.
 * It ends with the digit 2, then use nd.
 * Exception: if the number ends with 12, use th.
 * It ends with the digit 3, then use rd.
 * Exception: if the number ends with 13, use th.
 * Include the time zone if you write the time of an event down.
 * Use the UTC time zone.
 * Use the 24 hour format (e.g. 15:21) or the 12 hour format (e.g. 3:21pm) consistently within an article.

Talk pages

 * When adding a comment to a talk page, sign it using.

Promotion of yourself or your team
If you think this wiki is for promoting players or teams, you are wrong. If you create an article about yourself or your team and they are irrelevant, they will be removed. In addition, articles about players and teams, are not made to promote them. If you try to censor information from the wiki, that is unfavorable to you or your team, you will be punished with a temporary ban. Also, do not try wikilawyering! The only effect this will have is wasting the time of staff members and will certainly make them have a lower opinion of you.
