===== 📏 Contribution Guidelines =====

To keep the Wiki consistent and helpful, all live edits must follow these rules:

  * **This Wiki is Out-of-Play (OOP)** unless a page is specifically marked as In-Play (IP). Write in clear, neutral language for real-world reference.
  * **Stay Canon-Faithful** – Do not invent lore or mechanics. Expand only with staff approval or official FOIP reveals.
  * **Use a Reference Tone** – Think handbook or rule summary, not storytelling prose or personal voice.
  * **Avoid Power Creep** – Don’t suggest mechanics, races, or abilities outside approved balance processes.
  * **No Religion** – Volaire is a godless setting. Avoid religious terminology, cosmology, or divine references.
  * **Follow Formatting Standards** – Use correct DokuWiki syntax (//italics//, **bold**, etc.) and the namespace: `operations:public:*`
  * **Proofread Before Submitting** – Clean grammar and formatting are required. Sloppy edits will be reverted.
  * **Cite Your Sources** – When referencing rules or lore, include the relevant Rulebook section or approved ticket #.
