This page contains suggestions for what you can do to help with the Sagatafl design and documentation project.

Contents

Participate on article Discussion pages

You can go to the Discussion page for any article, and voice your concerns, e.g. about rules that are unclear (ambiguous, open to interpretation, more GM-dependent than they have to be), or give suggestions for how the text or the rules in the article can be improved, e.g. made more flexible, or made more fudge-light.

Turn words into internal links

This isn't so much a wiki, as it is a hypertext that happens to use wiki software to be presented and modified (displayed and edited). Much of the point is that the reader of this hypertext should be able to get from any article to any other article with as few clicks as possible, and the more related two articles are, in terms of subject matter, the fewer clicks should be required.

Therefore you can use the "edit" tab to turn words into internal links, so that the reader can click on those links to get to the articles defining and elaborating on what those words mean. Don't worry about creating links for articles that don't exist yet (but do check that there isn't already an article defining the term that is spelled slightly differently), and feel free to turn the same word into external links multiple times in the same article. It is a bother for the user to have to scroll up and down, in order to find a clickable instance of a word.
