The r/place Wiki is intended to be an encyclopedia of knowledge about r/place, so remember to write clearly, and be descriptive with article names and file names. If you're unsure, check the Wikipedia Manual of Style as we will generally be following it, or ask in the discord for help.
Article names
Articles should be given descriptive names, so it is clear just from the title what it is about.
Artwork names
Community names
If your community is primarily based around a subreddit, use r/(subreddit) as the title of your article. If most of your efforts were organized in a Discord server or platform other than Reddit, use the name of your community as the title.
Neutrality and point of view
Write articles in a neutral tone, and from a 3rd person perspective. For example, instead of writing "I hate XQC because he destroyed my art." write "XQC destroyed many artworks throughout his time on r/place."
Verb tense
Write about artworks, communities, and alliances that still exist in the present tense, and write about art that was destroyed, groups and alliances that have been disbanded, or past events in the past tense.
