Line 108: + + + − − == Naming pages == − * The word is [[Terminology]]. Not "Terms" or "Jargon" or anything else. Pages concerning [[terminology]] should be named as such. − * For an article about an actual person, the title used should be ''the real name of that person''. The person's various aliases and screen names should be redirected there, as should his user page if he is a user of this wiki. For example, put information about the creator of this wiki under [[Jon Barber]], not [[Ngamer]] or [[Ngamer64]] or Ngamer's [[Jon Barber|user talk page]].
Text replacement - "speed running" to "speedrunning"
* Don't say anything like "IM me if something isn't explained well enough". People can point out things that need fixing on the Talk page.

* This wiki is about taking gaming to its limits. Its release date, lead programmers, market performance and related controversies etc. etc. are largely irrelevant to speed running and don't really need adding. So are dumb, pointless tricks and glitches which don't save any time.

'''Terminology''' pages can be created to explain the jargon you're using.

* If a game has a lot of terminology associated with it, but none of the terms are worth individual writeups, you can put them all on the same page, called [[MK Terminology|MK terminology]] or similar.

** Pages concerning [[terminology]] should be named "terminology". Please don't create "GE terms" or "Sonic 2 jargon" as competing standards.
===Websites===
Important speed-running '''communities and websites''' such as [[The Elite]] and the [[Speed Demos Archive]] are also encouraged.

Whether you are significant enough to be worth of an entry on this wiki is for other people to decide. You can edit it once it's created, though. (Though, naturally, so can everybody else.)
