Editing Guidelines
Use proper grammar
Adhere to capitalization and punctation as used throughout the Wiki
Write in third person perspective
e.g. "the player is allowed to," as opposed to "you are allowed to"
Capitalize items, but not item categories
e.g. "the Campfire is a building"
Only link the first reference to an article
e.g. "the Bucket is one such tool, Buckets are pretty great"
Avoid adding information based on speculation (including lore)
Doing so outside of articles, such as in community discussions is perfectly fine
