Wiki FAQ
Can I join the wiki and become an editor?
Absolutely, it's free and we welcome self-starting contributors with integrity and knowledge. We also provide talk pages for each article and a discussion forum to discuss various and contrasting opinions about articles.
We recommend that to start you work on making simple, noncontroversial edits and suggest your first few articles to the staff for review so you don't have them reverted by an overzealous, opinionated Admin.
How do I discuss a topic on the discussion page?
When viewing an article, click the Discussion link at the top to be taken to a page for discussing that article. See Help:Discussions for an explanation of how to use discussions.
Is it OK to make an article about a specific, real world person?
Yes.
However, consider that many notable people, such as Jay Wiseman, already have entries on Wikipedia. So the page on the site might list BDSM conference he has presented at, but there's no need to do a full bio, since one could just link to Wikipedia.
Substantiated, sourced information about rape and/or consent violation is acceptable (see below).
Can I use this wiki to post substantiated information about rape or boundary violation?
Yes. Please post it on your personal page, or on a locked article, so that it isn't subject to vandalism. If you need help with that, contact an admin. Anonymous posting is acceptable. "Substantiation" could be either your personal account, an eyewitness account, or a link to an account on another website. If there is an external account of the violation, such as a FetLife writing or an external blog post, please link to that. If the person or entity also has an article on this site, feel free to add the link from that article to your account of what occurred.
I found offensive material on this wiki
