Writing Guide

Right now if you search "Artemis Wiki" you'll find the PBWorks wiki. That's fine, and that's probably going to be the case for a while.

The main goal of this wiki is to hopefully be something a little more accessible to new players, and not throw absolutely everything at them in hopes that it'll stick. This may take some fine tuning, but we can get there at some point.

Information Sorting
When you're writing a new page or adding to current pages, ask yourself "When should players learn this" or something similar. If it's something that players learn naturally by playing, there's probably not too much need to mention it. If it's something like hard numbers and data, figure out if you can humanize the numbers and put the hard data somewhere else for people to view. If you look at the Stations page, you'll see that instead of listing shields and build rates as numbers, they're changed into words and humanized a bit.

All the main Consoles (with the exception of Captain) have an "Advanced" page for information that isn't imperative for a person to know right away, but they may eventually want to know. For example, Helm probably doesn't need to know nor use the Ascend/Descend abilities of the ship on their first mission, but they'll be curious and want to know what it does eventually.

Once you've determined what page the information should go on, figure out where exactly on the page it should go. It works best if it's somewhere where it can be tied back into previously learned information, and the closer the new information is to the previously learned items helps with flow and voice.
