New Categories
Feel free to create new categories, but use existing ones as appropriate. If in doubt see Category Criteria.
New Pages
Create new pages that either add information to existing topics and categories or that have significance to the subject of baseball. Do not create pages that are unrelated to baseball or do not add useful information.
- If in doubt see Page Criteria.
- For an introduction to creating pages see How to contribute.
Neutral Point of View
Always attempt to use a neutral point of view when writing. These materials are intended to be factual and not opinion. In some inflammatory issues like Steroids or Pete Rose, it may be tempting to interject your opinion. In these cases, it may be appropriate to create a new page with something to the effect of Pete Rose: the case of banning. On a page such as this, linked from the original page, users can spell out again in a neutral point of view speculatory arguments for banning Pete Rose from baseball.
Using Links
Through the use of links, one can spend hours browsing a wiki. An article on Babe Ruth is made more interesting with links to Lou Gehrig, the Boston Red Sox, Hank Aaron, and Guy Bush. Links within the wiki are added with double brackets around the linked page. Examples include [[1985 Royals]] or [[Tampa Bay Devil Rays]] or [[Endy Chavez]]. would create 1985 Royals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and Endy Chavez.
