Neverwinter Wiki:User generated content
Inhaltsverzeichnis
Proposal[Quelltext bearbeiten]
The following is a quick summary of proposed standards for dealing with user-generated content (UGC), meaning pages related to specific user-created quests in the Foundry.
Namespace standards[Quelltext bearbeiten]
There are two overall options:
- A custom namespace.
- Page titles would have to start with a namespace such as
Foundry:
to separate them from official content. - This lets registered users use their preferences to choose whether or not their search results include these pages by default.
- Either option can be made the default for all users.
- Linking is more awkward due to the needed to include
Foundry:
in the link title, but the Help:Pipe trick helps make this less inconvenient.- i.e. writing a link as
[[Foundry:Quest name|]]
would give you a link that shows "Quest name" without having to fully type out[[Foundry:Quest name|Quest name]]
.
- i.e. writing a link as
- Page titles would have to start with a namespace such as
- Just allow people to create Foundry quest pages named after their quests and use page headers and categories to identify them and keep them separate.
- This is simpler, but there'd be no way to filter UGC out of searches.
- Linking would remain as simple as it is elsewhere, however.
Namespace name options[Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Foundry
- UGC
- ...
Title standards[Quelltext bearbeiten]
The simplest option would be simply to require the pages be named after the quests. If this causes a conflict, add the author name in parenthesis after the name.
Naturally, if we require a namespace, that has to be included as the first part of the title.
Linking standards[Quelltext bearbeiten]
We are proposing a requirement that pages with official content cannot link to foundry quest pages.
This rule would have exceptions when the content in question is about the Foundry in some way.
