Editing Guide

This is a very brief guide on editing this Wiki.

Copyright
Before uploading, ensure all multimedia is properly licensed and/or attributed, and that YOU have permission to use it. This is a public Wiki, not a school project, and as such is not under the Fair Dealing for Research or Study. I suggest you search for Creative Commons works or use your own material.

Referencing
For the sake of consistency, all pages should use APA 7th Edition when referencing. It is basic courtesy to cite sources of information if external sources make up a large portion of the article you are writing. It is preferred, not required, to use a referencing style; simply adding links is sufficient. Again, this is not an assessment task.

Spelling, grammar, styling

 * This Wiki prefers Australian English, but other spellings or terms may be accepted under British English. Do not use American English. For example, in reference to a pedestrian path, footpath is preferred, pavement is accepted, and sidewalk should not be used; and colour should always be spelt with a u.
 * Capitalisation should follow sentence case except when in reference to proper nouns. This also applies to page titles and headings.
 * Maintain a formal tone.
 * Avoid use of first-person pronouns, such as 'I' or 'we', outside of discussion forums and user pages.
 * Do not use overly subjective language, such as 'obviously' or 'stupid'.
 * Avoid abbreviations and contractions: 'can't' should instead be written as 'cannot'.

Templates
Templates are a useful MediaWiki tool that utilises Transclusion in a special namespace. They are called using curly brackets  and have a set of parameters that are used to insert your own information into the template.
