<b>Please do not create stub articles</b>; if you have a short spiel about something CTY-relevant, put it under the correct category in the [[Lexicon]], unless the page is already on the [[Special:Wantedpages]] list. Also, article subjects that could be condensed into a single page (for example, the places around campus, our current site-enhancement project) should be; if you have, for example, something to contribute on the Superquad, instead of writing a stub about Superquad, make a general page (formatted: Topic:XXX) for it to house other stubs, and also link to existing non-stub pages.  In this case, things about Superquad would go in [[Places:CAR]].

Please do not vandalize the wiki—many people have worked hard on the success of this site.  Deformattings, mass deletions, targeted obscenity, and spamming will result in bannage.
  
====Categories====
+
If you like this site, please advertise it to CTYers you know, or to potential CTYers (that you potentially know!).  The more, the merrier!
If you do create a new page, please categorize it properly.  Put it under a site or two if applicable (if it's all sites, don't put it under any sites).  Categorize it as a Game, an Activity, a Student Group, a Traditions, etc.  Then, put the site and the other category together, and categorize it as that too (i.e., Lancaster Traditions).  Things that don't fall into any category go under "General."
 
  
===Lexicon===
+
==Navigation==
Keep things alphabetical, and brief.  Do not simply copy an article onto the Lexicon.  Especially refrain from doing the opposite, and copying Lexicon stubs into full-fledged article pages; this is unnecessary and becomes a hassle.

To help out the site, please contribute to the Places pages for your individual site.  If a page is not listed under the Basics section, name the page "Places:XXX", where XXX is the three-character site code, without the quotes.  This should include all full sections on the different places around campus, with links to off-campus places like Turkey Hill, Massey's, etc.  Look under the basics section for links to the pages, and start writing!
