- Remember, all wiki edits must abide by the 'G' ratings found at: http://tms.ecol.net/movies/ratings.htm
Photos/Pictures
For consistency in loading and to keep everything "in house" please upload your pictures here on the wiki rather than hosting them elsewhere and linking to them. It is expected that you are using pictures that you have captured yourself. If not - in the description of the item when uploading, please give credit to the person who provided the picture.Other Attribution
If the information was provided by a non-editor, provide credit and thanks to that person on the "discussion" page rather than on the main article page itself. If it was a picture, see the Photos/Pictures section for guidance.
Editors should not provide credit and thanks to themselves. All our articles are stamped with our names, so this automatically gives us credit for the work.

- If you are making a new item page, here is a rough guide how:
- Each item will get their own page, named after the item and (if appropriate) its color. If the color isn't part of the name, include it in parenthesis. For example, Candy Cauldron and Aladdin's Flying Carpet Chair Blue and Jolly Roger Long Sleeve (Blue). Create this page by linking to it from anywhere - use the VMKWiki Sandbox if you can't think of another place.
- Use the template for most furniture items, adding the correct information and adding any other categories that may be necessary (for example :Category:Beta Checklist).
- To include the page you just created in a list (ie - not link to it, but include its contents), use a format like this: {{:Candy Cauldron}}. Note the :, it is important.
- Don't forget to add a price and image if you have them. If you don't have an image, use the {{ImageNotAvailable}} tag to mark it - this will make it look better and easier to find later.
- As always - preview things. But remember that you have to save the item's page before you can include it in another page.

We have been having problems with sections of the VMK portion somehow being deleted when we edit the Club Penguin section. Because of this, I've moved the VMK one to its own page, and provided the link here. I suggest the Club Penguin people do the same. --Prisoner 13:43, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
I have noticed this. Editing the CP section without a problem requires editing the whole page. Should the VMK Section on Help:Editing be deleted? --Scootz 13:46, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
Thanks for removing it, I hope you're not made I messed it up.. Also, should we remove the VMK section completly from Help:Editing? --Xiaolin 14:09, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
Timestamps
Would it be useful to ask editors to use tildes (~) to automatically include User and timestamps against their comments? ie 3 ~ will give User name; 4 ~ will give User name and time & date. I'm lazy and hate having to hit History to see how old a comment is. Pudgey 05:42, 26 May 2008 (PDT)For the most part the users have been doing this, sometimes it goes forgotten but I've noticed everyone has been pretty good about it as of late. In the toolbar of the editing box there is the "Your Signature with Timestamp" button that easily adds the appropriate signature. This is actually stated in the Rules and Guidelines, but I'll go back and make it a little more prominent/specific.--UpInTheAir 15:12, 26 May 2008 (PDT)
