This Wiki is supposed to be a contact point for people who don't know much, or anything about the Fediverse yet.
So especially the main page, What is the Fediverse? and other Beginners guides should be written in simple and easy to understand English.
Other pages in the category Category:Advanced are meant for advanced users, but should still be written as understandable as possible.
Guidelines
Please don't remove text or heavily rewrite it before talking about it in the corresponding talk page.
Please don't promote bigotry or "free speech" instances.
Style guide
Main article: Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Style guide
Example capitalization of Fediverse projects:
| First letter in upper case | CamelCase | all lower case | special |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
Translation guide
Main article: Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Translation guide
Please:
- use gender-inclusive language
- only translate the English text & don't add information
Advocacy guide
Main article: Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Advocacy guide
We want to advocate for the Fediverse and it's projects here, not write in a neutral tone like Wikipedia.
On the beginners pages we do that by highlighting the benefits of the Fediverse, without going in too much detail about the horrors of traditional social media.
We can then go deeper in additional pages.
