===Important Note===
== Conduct ==
This isn't a fucking who's who tripfag directory, before anyone gets any ideas. No pages dedicated to them, on pain of [[User:wikifag|Wikifag]] getting really angry and then crying because he has no idea what he's doing.
* '''Are you literate?''': A pretty ridiculous question, right? But unfortunately, this is a question that remains ''very'' relevant from time to time. Basic understanding of the English language is critical for your edits to be taken seriously. The editors here are willing to fix god-honest mistakes here and there, after all, we are all human, and sometimes we may miss on a grammatical error from here and there. The problem begins when entire ''paragraphs'' become completely unreadable due to a mixture of:
**Lack of capitalisation.
**Inconsistent use of capitalisation (i.e. space MaRine).
**Severe and repeated spelling mistakes.
**Lack of commas or any sentence breaks.
**Lack of paragraphs resulting in a giant wall of text.
**Sentences that just don't make any sense.
**Using a language other than English (since our primary audience, /tg/, is an English board).
* '''Strikethroughs are heavily frowned upon''': Strikethroughs are generally heavily frowned upon, as it makes entire pages completely unreadable and it just looks fucking ugly to look at. The only exception to the rule is if the strikethrough is intentional and is meant to be part of a joke. And even then, there is a limit on how much strikethroughs we can tolerate. Creating a strikethrough to win an argument is one of the quickest ways to get your edits reverted. If you don't know what a strikethrough is, it looks like this: <s>Space Marines are Mary Sues.</s>
* '''No egoboos''' 2d4chan is NOT for pages dedicated to specific browsers of /tg/, [[namefag]] or [[tripfag]], regardless of how well-known or liked/disliked they are. The only exception to this is the [[drawfag]] page, which may list known drawfags and describe their usual subject matter. Please refrain from qualitative analysis of a given drawfag's talents or personality, as drama will inevitably ensue.
* '''No wars in the article''' If you find yourself in an edit war or anything similar with another user, move your argument to the article's discussion page. If you observe a dispute over an article and have an opinion one way or the other about it, comment on the discussion. [[User:2d4fag|2d4fag]] prefers to get input from as many people as possible before he has to make some sort of administrative decision about a given issue.
* '''Deleting pages''' If you find a page that needs deleting, put the ''<nowiki>{{deletion}}</nowiki>'' template on it (by including that markup at the top of the page) and it will be added to the deletion category. Pages that should be deleted are pages of very low quality or subject matter unrelated to /tg/. Note that the criteria for "related to /tg/" is somewhat lax, and well-written pages that justify even a tangential relation to /tg/ are likely to be allowed to remain. Do NOT blank pages when marking them for deletion.
* '''Block Policy''' See the [[1d4chan:Policy|Policy]] page for a clarification of what behaviors are considered block-worthy.  In short: vandalism and (excessive) edit-warring warrants a block of a few days, and link-spammers get permanently blocked.  Use the talk page instead of the "undo" link.

===Important Note To People Using 1d4chan as Hosting For Exalted (or whatever) Campaigns/Character Sheets===
== News ==
Although I am perfectly happy for you to do so, you guys have this tendency to leave orphaned pages floating all over the place. For reference:
*No more /TG/HEIM  namespace. It is abandoned. No one has any use for it now.[[User:2d4fag|2d4fag]] ([[User talk:2d4fag|talk]]) 05:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
*Your Campaign overpage should be located at "Campaign: Whatever It's Name Is"
*Your character sheets should be located at "Campaign: Whatever It's Name Is/Whatever Their Name Is"
*Your campaign overpage should link to all the associated characters, and the character pages should link back to their campaign overpage. This prevents your pages showing up on the Orphaned Pages/Dead-End Pages listing and getting in the way of articles that actually need attention.
At some point (but probably not soon) I'm going to go through and delete the random character pages with no obvious connection to their parent campaigns, so this is your warning. If you need your characters saved, move them to the appropriate places. If you have character/campaign pages that have become useless for whatever reason (like the campaign died or whatever) and you have no pressing need to keep them for posterity, please put a <nowiki>{{deletion}}</nowiki> template on the page so I know they can be safely removed.


===Useful Things You Can Do===
*No more Campaign namespace. It may have made sense in 2008, but these days there are much better sites for you to catalog your campaigns and setting lore on. Stories about campaigns, like All Guardsman Party, are still allowed. Pages documenting collaborative /tg/ worldbuilding or system-building projects are still allowed.

Wikis aren't self-cleaning, unfortunately. If you have free time and nothing better to do with it, checking these lists and fixing up the problems with pages contained therein is extremely helpful.
*[[Special:BrokenRedirects|Broken Redirects]] - Find out what page they're meant to redirect to and fix it, or else slap a <nowiki>{{deletion}}</nowiki> on the page if they're truly useless.
*[[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end Pages]] - Dead-end pages have no links to other pages in the wiki, ruining the browsing experience. Fix them up so that important words link to their relevant pages, and consider adding relevant "See Also" entries.
*[[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double Redirects]] - Double redirects are redundant. Fix them so that the first redirect goes to the intended page.
*[[Special:Lonelypages|Orphaned Pages]] - Orphaned pages are those which are not linked to by any other page and are thus unlikely to be found by a browsing user. Consider adding them to the See Also section of relevant pages, and making links to the page in the main text of other articles.
*[[::Category:Stubs|Stubs]] - Stubs are pages that are too short to do justice to their subject material. Expand them.
*[[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Pages]] - Wanted pages are linked to by other pages but don't yet exist. Create them, even if all you write is a short stub, as others are more likely to flesh out a page properly once it actually exists (but make sure that the page doesn't already exist under a slightly different name first).

About 2d4chan

2d4chan is a site devoted to the description and archival of all sorts of things interesting and relevant to /tg/ (the "traditional games" board of 4chan), including articles on fa/tg/uy culture, memes particular to (or at least commonly used on) /tg/, games and systems played by its browsers, interesting fluff thereof, and writefaggotry posted to the board.

  • Are you literate?: A pretty ridiculous question, right? But unfortunately, this is a question that remains very relevant from time to time.

The problem begins when entire paragraphs become completely unreadable due to a mixture of:
