The One Wiki to Rule Them All is an ongoing project. Currently we have articles that are copied from Wikipedia. This is OK but see [[LOTR:Copying_from_Wikipedia|Copying from Wikipedia]] for more details.<br />

The One Wiki to Rule Them All is an ongoing project. As such, its policies are also an ongoing project. Below is a list of currently proposed policies, which we observe until they are changed by consensus. Please look over them and leave any thoughts you have about them on their talk pages.
  +
<br>'''Proposed Policies'''
As [[The Lord of the Rings]] has become a major motion picture movie, many people may think that it is exactly the same as in the books but as [[Tolkien]] enthusiasts know, this is '''untrue'''. Therefore, any informaton put into articles should be based around the books. If you wish to add information based on any adaptations, then make it clear that you are refering to this ''- eg. like a title '[[Peter Jackson]]'s Motion Picture'.'' See our [[LOTR:Canon|Canon Policy]] for more informatoin.<br />
 
Current LOTR Wiki's Policy:
 
*'''[[LOTR:Copying_from_Wikipedia|Copying from Wikipedia]]'''

Job list- The job list provides users with editing ideas if you're stuck for something to do. It gives examples like:

  • Stubs, where we always have small articles that need more information and research.
  • Rewrites, where you can help add eloquent prose to tacky articles.
  • Cleanup, where you can tidy up a page's appearance, and make overblown edits more concise.
  • Orphaned Pages, where you can help lonely pages make new friends. Interlink these pages with complementary pages and check that they are in all appropriate categories.

Article Attack
Main Project Page: LOTR:Article Attack

This month's article is: List of Minor Battles in Middle-earth
The article attack award is a new way to encourage contributors to enhance pages in great need of work and detail. The user who contributes the best edits will be awarded the Article Attack Award.



Help
Main Help Page: Help Contents

As with many other MediaWiki projects, "Help" has a separate namespace (and related talkspace) all to itself. Start at Help:contents, and if any subject is getting a bit long move it (leaving link) to another "Help:..." page (easier to type than "LOTR:Help:..."). There may be a corresponding page at Central Wikia or the Starter Wikia, which may be copied or linked to.
