* Terminology+
−* Articles about important speed running communites such as [[The Elite]] and the [[Speed Demos Archive]].+
−** Note also that you are not permitted to ''create'' an article about yourself, unless it's clear the article is needed. 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, but keep the article factual, objective, and third-person.+

* In the second section, detail the '''history of the trick''' if it has any - who discovered it, when they discovered it and what its impact was.

−=== Also ===
+==Other pages you can create==
−* Explanations or definitions of anything related to speedruns on the relevant terminology page or on its own page if it doesn't fit anywhere.
+'''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.
−* Articles about prominent figures in these communities, such as world record holders, discoverers of major strat, and creators of competitions sites. Being a strat writer or editor for this wiki does not qualify someone for his own article.
+Important speed-running '''communities and websites''' such as [[The Elite]] and the [[Speed Demos Archive]] are also encouraged.
+* You should include a '''screenshot''' of the homepage, a '''founding date''' and the '''founder's name''', as well as what games it covers, how many members it has, etc. etc.
+* A '''history of the site''' is a must.
+* All sites should be listed under [[:Category:Websites]].
+* Sites with many related articles can also have their own dedicated category. We don't have many of these yet, however. The primary emphasis of Speedrunwiki is on the games, after all.
+Articles about '''prominent figures''' in speed-running are also encouraged. These include top competitors and world record holders, discoverers of major strats, and creators of important sites.
+* Note also that '''you are not permitted to create an article about yourself''', unless it's clear the article is needed. 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.)
+* Articles about people should be kept '''factual, objective, and third-person'''. Speedrunwiki is not your personal site! Player page vandalism will be dealt with especially harshly.
+* Player articles should be put in [[:Category:People]] as well as in relevant [[:Category:People by location|location]] and [[:Category:People by community|community]] sub-categories.

* 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]].
