The:Top Pronounmail Tips to Make your Wiki Sticky
0. Welcome to the Wiki
The Pronounmail The Wiki’s mission is to help people use pronounmail effectively. It also has an additional mission to organise the world’s misinformation. You are invited to write about how pronounmail works, make some bullshit up and then write about it extensively, or ideally both. These two missions must exist in perfect balance with one another. Remove the misinformation, and it just becomes a normal wiki. Remove the information, and it becomes camp2.rectangle.zone, which famously already exists.
1. Understand the purpose of your page.
You should be able to state clearly what purpose your page serves in the wider pronounzone. Consider if your page would actually be better as an addition to a pre-existing page.
2. Be wary of iBeer pages.
Some pages on the wiki are iBeer. They have one gimmick and provide no further information. This is good and excellent. Issues arise when non-iBeer pages have iBeer elements tacked onto them through brute force. Most pages on the wiki are not amenable to iBeerification and, for your safety, edits that iBeerify a non-iBeer page must not be performed. This is not to say you cannot use the tools at your disposal to make your page more awesome, but that you must do so tastefully and not cross the line into iBeer territory.
If you are attempting an iBeer page, please think carefully if the topic and gimmick you have selected are funny. If uncertain, you may want to confer with other editors to confirm.
3. Is your page funny?
If your page is purely informational, maybe it doesn’t need to be. But for other kinds of pages, it’s worth confirming with others that your concept is funny and would work well on the wiki. If your page is not funny, that’s fine, but it may be subject to a full conversion mod by some conniving individual. Also worth noting that what would be funny on other wikis may be cringe on the pronounmail wiki, and you might want to consider if you would be better off editing those wikis instead (I can once again recommend camp2.rectangle.zone for purveyors of that kind of thing)
4. It’s okay if your page is bad.
The pronounmail wiki is a collaborative project, and thrives on people boldly editing pages to be more awesome. If you think a page is not very good as it stands, you must edit it to be better NOW. If you think someone’s edit has made your page worse, or removed something essential to the spirit of your page, you are encouraged to revert it and hash it out in the talk page or Discord.
5. All pronounmail wiki pages are doomed
One day you and I will perish, and there will be no one left to run the pronounmail wiki. It’s advised not to get too attached to your pages in the knowledge that, no matter what, they will eventually be destroyed.
6. Full Conversion Mods
A full conversion mod is when someone ship of theseuses your page. In a full conversion mod, most or all text will be rewritten, or edited in a way that fundamentally changes the meaning of your page. This is good, and a normal part of wiki operation. If you wish to perform a full-conversion mod, it is considered polite to notify its steward so that they may raise any objections. You may also want to move the current content of the page to the Previously: namespace, and add a {{Previously}} template at the end of the page.
7. Pronounmail is not a wiki
It’s the future of web hosting. It’s a pretty good online community. It’s email for twinks. Whatever pronounmail is, it’s not just a wiki. You should try participating in the other services pronounmail offers from time to time. You might even like them, and we have many more on the way
