Nitrome Wiki:WIP

Below is a list of rules about Template:WIP.

Pre-edit WIP placing
Pre-edit WIP Placing is when a user places a WIP before adding any content to the page which they wanted to add. This should be avoided.

WIP Spamming
WIP Spamming is when one user places several WIPs on pages without adding any content other than the WIP. This can be seen as WIP Spamming if it is done on several pages.

WIP Name editing
In WIP's, the name of whoever is editing it is listed. The name should not be changed at all.

Restricted Page Editing
Users may use WIPs to prevent other users from editing pages. This should not be done at all. If it is found this has been done, the WIP will be removed, and the user blocked for a week.

Admin Page Editing
Admins have the privilege of editing all Mainspace pages on the Nitrome Wiki, even pages that have WIPs. Admins do this usually to correct spelling, grammar, or helping with coding.

Editing a Page with a WIP when you are not an Admin
Users that do not have Admin rights may not edit pages with WIPs. They may ask the User who placed the WIP if they can edit. If a user has made edits on the Wiki, and 4 days have past, then the User may ask the an Admin if they can edit.

Questions
