Rules

Guidelines

• Write from an anti-authoritarian perspective where relevant.
• All articles should have practitioners of the various occult and esoteric arts as their target audience. (Although this does not mean all content should have occult or esoteric themes).
• Articles in the format SomeSubject should be general information about the subject.
• Opinion article titles in the format AuthorName_ArticleTitle and should be listed in Articles.
• Books:
  • Only 'out of copyright', public domain, or CC-BY-SA license compatible books should be included.
  • Books should all be listed in the Library
  • Book page tiles should be in one of the following formats:
    • BookTitle if the book is authorless or multi author and can easily fit in one wikipage.
    • AuthorName_BookTitle if the book can fit on one page and has one author.
    • BookTitle_ChapterTitle or AuthorName_BookTitle_ChapterTitle if it needs to be divided into chapters.

Style Guidelines

• User Pages:
  • Do what you will with your user pages.
• Articles:
  • Make as easy to read as possible.
  • Add links where relevant to other content.
  • Avoid the verb 'to be'. Articles in E-Prime prefered, but don't stress to much about this, as rewording can take place later.
• Previously Published Articles:
  • Keep original text for historical reference. Alterable versions can be made on new page.
• Books in Library:
  • For historical or previously published works, keep original wording and if possible include images.
  • For collaborative book projects, adhere to the specifications of the project. Each project may vary greatly in specifications.
  • Because of the licensing, all books may be branched to form new projects, including historical works and other projects.
