This page explains the rules about editing this wiki.

Rules for article authors

  • Articles must be related to Luanti
  • The wiki is not a place to store personal content, images, etc.
  • Read Help:Translation Notes before you start translating pages
  • Do not translate old or obsolete pages

Guidelines for article authors

  • Learn and try to follow the style hints at Help:Style when appropriate
  • Using the wiki to store information about specific games and mods is discouraged (exception: Minetest Game)
    • Existing content about specific mods and games are allowed to stay as long as they are up-to-date and of use

Why no game/mod info?

Info about games and mods is discouraged because this information often gets out of date as there is nobody to maintain it. You should document your games and mods elsewhere, whether it be in your Git repository or in-game. Minetest Game is the only exception for historic reasons and it has been the default game for a very long time.
