Editorial Guidelines (Great White South)

This are the editorial guidelines for the New Union ATL.

Introduction
This alternate history timeline was written and created by NuclearVacuum. This timeline is an open timeline, which means the content here is open for editing and new ideas are welcome.

Canon
Because of the growing complexity and information in the timeline, new content will NOT automatically become "canon." New edits will have to be reviewed/harmonized/canonized to keep everything logical.

Content which has already been accepted by the group as canon and has remained unchanged in the alternate history will have precedence over any proposed new changes. This does not mean you will be barred from making said changes if it is more plausible to update the content of the TL, but it is recommended you bring it to the group's attention at Talk:New Union, which is the main page for discussion on the alternate history.

To avoid some of these problems it is highly recommended that you read Timeline (New Union), and read threw a few or more articles.

Message to Contributors
It is requested that prior to making any contributions to this timeline that you do the following.


 * 1) Please read the article about QSS and QAA, and understand what it means.
 * 2) Understand the conventions for this wiki before editing.
 * 3) Be courteous to all other user of this timeline and website.
 * 4) Have fun!

Proposals

 * Main articles: Category:Proposals (New Union) and Template:NU-Proposal

Whenever a new article is added to the timeline, the above tag should be placed on top of the page to indicate that the article is only a proposal and has not been made canon. This is done by adding the the following code to the top of the page.

This code will automatically add your page to the list of proposed pages, but it would be highly appreciated that you make mention of the page, as well as a quick description of your proposal, on the main talk page; this is to allow discussion on the subject and a means to work out any kinks that they page may or may not need. It would also be courteous to place the link of the page on the main page (as well as the date it was created).

Obsolete

 * Main articles: Category:Obsolete (New Union) and Template:NU-Obsolete

Some articles of this timeline have been made obsolete and are no longer part of this timeline. But because of sentimental value, as well as to keep a reference, the pages have been kept operational. Obsolete pages of this timeline will have the following template on the top of the page.

Only admins of this timeline can state whether an article is obsolete or not, so you really don't have to worry too much about this.

Stubs

 * Main articles: Category:Stubs (New Union) and Template:NU-Stub

Many articles of this timeline may be cannon, but with very little information on them. These pages are stubs, and can be edit by anyone who should wish. Stub pages will have the above template on the BOTTOM of the page. To add the template to a page, simply add the following code to the bottom of the page.
