Wiki Contribution Guidelines
1. Accuracy & Sourcing
- Cite Everything: All phenotype descriptions must include a reference to a recognized source (e.g., Lundman, Coon, Deniker, or HumanPhenotypes.net).
- Objective Tone: Avoid personal opinions or "guessing" types. Use standard anthropological terminology.
2. Image Standards
- Clear Portraits: Use high-resolution, front-facing, or profile-view images for male/female examples.
- Neutral Backgrounds: Avoid images with heavy filters, watermarks, or distracting backgrounds where possible.
- Consistency: Ensure the
image_maleandimage_femalefields in the infobox are used for representative types only.
3. Formatting & Structure
- Template Usage: Always use the standard Infobox template for new pages. Do not hardcode table colors.
- No "Dead" Sections: If you don't have information for a section (like "Traits"), leave the field blank in the template so the IF statements can hide it.
- Gallery Mode: Use the
<gallery mode="packed">tag for additional examples to keep the page mobile-friendly.
4. Community Conduct
- No Vandalism: Purposefully mislabeling types or deleting sourced data will result in a ban.
- Edit Summaries: Briefly describe your changes (e.g., "Added map," "Fixed typo") in the edit summary box.
Failure to follow these rules may lead to your edits being reverted by a moderator.
