The Edge Chronicles wiki welcome all articles that are placed on this wiki, but there are certain guidelines that must be followed:
Guidelines[]
- All pages must be categorised.
- Don't invent new categories.
- Use this list of all the categories Categories to try and find one that fits. If you still think a category is missing, there's several steps you should take:
- Seven page rule: A new category is only needed if there are more than 7 pages that fit into this category and there are no similar categories.
- Contact an admin/content moderator
- Start a discussion in either the comment section of one of the articles that should go into your new category or on the discussions page. If people agree with you, then go ahead in creating a new category. Make sure to add a description and to categorise it.
- Use this list of all the categories Categories to try and find one that fits. If you still think a category is missing, there's several steps you should take:
- Read the category descriptions to decide if a page belongs into that category.
Examples[]
- Characters should be sorted into the following categories: character, race, age of flight, gender, (profession)...
- Plants: Category:Flora, Category:Organisms, then different subcategories if available
- Example: Wateroaks -> Category:Flora, Category:Organisms, Category:Trees, Category:Oaks
- Animals: Category: Fauna, Category:Organisms, possibly Category:Pets, then various subspecies like bats, reptiles, amphibia, molluscs
- Example: Prowlgrins ->Category: Fauna, Category:Organisms, Category:Pets
- Beings are sentient creatures, such as goblins and fourthlings. Anything in Category:Beings should not be in Category:Fauna or any of its subcategories. There are two major exceptions to this rule:
- Spindlebugs, which are beings, but are also included in Category:Insects. They are not in Category:Fauna.
- Shrykes, which are beings, but are also included in Category:Birds. They are not in Category:Fauna.
- Places should be sorted into Category:Places and its various subcategories.
- All groups or organizations should be sorted either in Category:Societies and Organizations or Category:Groups for more informal gatherings.
- Examples for societies: Great Glade Militia, Friends of New Sanctaphrax
- Examples for groups: Winter Knights, The Immortals (group)

Anything else will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
