What you absolutely need to know
- Base style for articles:
- Article title (is/was) a (type of entity, like "registrar" or "lawyer"), [founded in (four-digits year)], originating from (country/territory). + (write any additional essential information to close off the leading paragraph) + (a new header follows with detailed content).
- Scope: ICANN and Internet Governance are the subjects of the wiki. Avoid broad themes better covered elsewhere and focus on matters specific to these areas.
- Writing:
- 📌 The wiki is in the English language, all variants are accepted, as long as they are written in formal style (academic style not required).
- 📌 The editor's tone should always be neutral. Articles about services and businesses are welcome, but cannot be written in advertisement form.
- Notability: Low bar. The person, entity or concept needs to have a clear proven connection with ICANN or Internet governance.
- Lists of names: Long lists of names are unwelcome, unless they pertain to essential matters (ex.: members of Working Groups should be listed, winners of awards should not).
