* '''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.


In a fit of productivity I have done a few things under the hood of the site lately. First of all, I have switched the webserver from the stable nginx branch to the mainline nginx branch for http/2 support - an improvement on the HTTP protocol which you can read about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2 here], but the gist of which is it's a more efficient protocol with reduced overhead and so hopefully will serve pages a little faster. If you have a modern browser, it is already using this improvement. I have also generally redirected all site access to HTTPS, both as a matter of principle and practicality - no mainstream browser supports http/2 without also using encryption.
----


There is also more complex caching going on behind the nginx frontend. I have tinkered with some of the caching options that mediawiki offers and boosted performance a little there, but the major change is that I've thrown varnish into the middle of it all to cache the dynamic pages - anything that goes through PHP, basically. Mediawiki has some built-in options for file caching of content pages, but varnish is much better at it. This has dramatically sped up site load times in my testing, at least locally - I am observing somewhat that if you are coming from somewhere geographically distant (i.e. America) the latency of the connection is more significant than the delay waiting for PHP to serve a page anyway, but it should still be a little bit of a speed boost. The crucial thing here is that I am rather aggressively caching certain things which would not normally be cached, on the belief that they're not actually subject to change regularly, despite what mediawiki thinks. This all seems to be fine so far but if you observe site behaviour being a bit weird that could be a consequence so please let me know. Recent edits by ::1 (the IPv6 localhost) are an artefact of slight misconfiguration on my part, but I think that should be fixed now.

The wiki is hosted and administrated by [[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]], although his time is limited and he cannot monitor it non-stop. If an issue has arisen which you believe needs immediate attention (a prominent example would be if the site has gone down or is extremely sluggish, as it may be some time before he notices, or someone has uploaded illegal material to the server) then he can be reached by emailing wikifag [at] gmail [dot] com.
