Guide to use - please read before editing

The goal of Super-wiki is to provide an extensive information resource and compendium of fan knowledge, including not only the documentation of canonical information but the documentation of the Supernatural fandom.

Reflecting this ideal, the wiki format of Super-wiki means that anyone who signs up to this site has the ability to add to and create pages of information.

In order for Super-wiki to function reliably and independently (of moderator control) this particular free-for-all dynamic needs to be tempered with an attitude that recognises the validity of each fan's opinion and understanding.

In order words, when editing or adding pages to Super-wiki, consider your viewpoint one amongst many, even when it comes to 'canonical' items. Instead of deleting another fan's contribution, add yours to it, even with a note to make clear that there are different standpoints on the issue in question (for example, "another interpretation of X is that it means Y"). It's a simple, easy-to-follow rule for making Super-wiki as user-friendly and extensive as possible.

Please also take note of what's already listed on the pages before you decide to edit. In some cases, information is literally canonical, as it is taken directly from the text of Supernatural itself. Even if you consider the information there erroneous, do not edit where you are requested not to, as this is in the interest of documenting the accuracy of the canon. If you have something to add, make it an addendum. As an example, the entries in the Pad of Definitions have a "do not edit above this line" subtitle request. You may add anything relevant below the line; please respect the editors wish to preserve the 'canon' of the Pad of Definitions' transcript above it.

On the same note, please search extensively before deciding to create a new page. You may find that the information is elsewhere already, either within another page or using a different name. Put in redirects to help out if you come across instances such as this.

If you have any issues or queries you'd like to bring up with the moderator of Super-wiki, please contact angstslashhope at livejournal dot com.
