A lot of discussion has gone into creating some of the standards that are currently in use on the Paragon Wiki.  Here are some of the previous discussions that have led to some unofficial guidelines.
#REDIRECT [[Paragon Wiki:Article Guidelines]]
 
== Uploaded images ==
 
Uploaded images should not show the GUI unless the GUI is what is the subject of the picture.
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=212 Citation]
 
Character images should be be uploaded in jpg format.  Icon and badge type images should be in png format.  Full sized screen shots should not be used under normal circumstances, though there are exceptions.
* [[Paragon Wiki talk:Main_Discussion#Picture_Size|Citation]]
 
Pictures should have their gamma level adjusted before uploading.
* [[http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=91#91 Citation]]
 
== Adding in-game text ==
 
When a character's name is mentioned in a text, it should be removed, editing the line to make more sense if need be.
 
Also, if the text includes misspellings, grammatical errors or factual error these should be corrected.
* [[Paragon Wiki talk:Main_Discussion#Hero's name in mission entries|Citation]]
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3#3 Citation]
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=386#386 Citation]
 
Story arc clues should not be added on a mission by mission basis.  Most of these clues are reprinted in the souvenir.
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=303#303 Citation]
 
Abbreviations should be expanded.  A person new to online games will not know what AoE, DoT, etc stand for.
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3#3 Citation]
 
Effects should not be capitalized.  Instead of "Disorientation, Immobilization, or Hold effects," it should be "disorientation, immobilization, or hold effects."
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3#3 Citation]
 
== Headings ==
 
Links should not be used in headings.
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3#3 Citation]
 
== Pronouns ==
 
The use of first- and second person pronouns in articles should be avoided.  Instead of "I think you get ambushed upon leaving this mission," use "An ambush may occur upon leaving this mission."
* [http://paragonwiki.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3#3 Citation]
 
== Supergroups or Characters ==
 
Articles should not be created on person characters or supergroups.  Info can be added to your user page, and supergroup links can be added to the [[Paragon Wiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal]], but the wiki is not a supergroup or character database.  See the [[Paragon Wiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal]] or alternatives.
