Ghostbusters Wiki

This is the Introduction page to Ghostbusters Wiki. This page is to help new editors and viewers fit into the wiki community. This page addresses beginner mistakes and ways to avoid conflict. Also, this page is suggested for wiki editors new to this wiki.

What is Ghostbusters?

For those new to the Ghostbusters franchise, we encourage you to read "Beginners Summary of the Ghostbusters Franchise" page, which gives a basic idea of the items covered here.

For Socializing

Overall, reading the Discussion Policy will give more than enough of a idea of what is expected. A quick look over the Block Policy might be needed too.

For Building the Wiki

Before anything else, be aware that this wiki is an encyclopedia as stated on the "About this Wiki" page. A understanding of the rules of the Wiki will be needed before editing here. Off the bat, reading the following would avoid a lot of headaches:

  • Manual of Style- This is the main page for understanding what is required for editing here.
  • Ghostbusters Wiki:Templates Collection- While not required for minor edits, it gives a understanding of the articles structures and category tree for the wiki.
  • Discussion Policy- Any team project will require communication to reach agreements on the direction of the wiki and subject matter going foreword.
  • Block Policy- Understanding the reasons for a block is very important. This page lists the reasons.
  • While editing on the wiki, we advise users to be in the source editor mode for editing. We understand if there are users who find the Visual Mode is easier and/or prefer it to edit pages, however, in order to assist the staff of this wiki, using the source editor is the safest option against potential errors that might occur from publishing in the visual editor.
  • Ghostbusters Wiki:Canon Policy- Having a idea about the canon of a given subject is needed before editing.
  • Wiki Breakdown- If you need a place to begin, this page gives a idea of where work is needed.
