How to Play

Before contributing please observe these guidelines:

1. You have to create an account (see Wikipedia Username guidelines) before editing/creating pages.
2. Try one of the mailing lists first (and read the mailing-lists page before doing so).
3. If you write something opinionated, sign it with your username.
4. Please only create pages directly relating to microformats on this wiki. Other pages will likely be deleted.
5. Please obey the naming conventions for pages.
6. Don't use talk pages. See #2.
7. Please try to ensure that you produce valid XHTML.
8. When you paste code, add some line breaks at a reasonable width.
9. Please do not use "?" or other punctuation in the headings - it helps to keep the URLs to their fragment identifiers shorter and easier to read, copy/paste etc.
10. Headings may be explicitly marked up with <h1> <h2> tags etc. in order to avoid having them show up / pollute the Table of Contents. If you find such headings in a page, please DO NOT change them to "=" or "==" style headings.
11. Avoid renaming/changing heading text, including even just their capitalization. Headings are often used as permalinks, and changing the heading breaks such permalinks that have already been used.
12. Please avoid simple contradictory responses such as "No" to questions and issues. Instead provide at least a short sentence with a reason which provides information beyond what is provided in the question or issue.
