Articles edition rules
- Always post something related to NSIS. Pages that are not NSIS related will be deleted.
- Please, don't put the version of your script on page titles. Pages with this will be renamed to their names without their version numbers. One exception to this case is relating to scripts that work only in specified versions of a program (like "MyPlugin for NSIS 2.02").
- Only create pages for scripts that are updated to the latest version of NSIS. If a script only works for a version of NSIS, and this is not the latest, you should mention that it won't work for the current NSIS version. An exception is when a newer NSIS version is launched after you edited the article. In this case, the NSIS version when the article was last edited will be accounted. This rule needs more improvement.
- Don't create NSIS discussions here. That's the job for the NSIS Forums. Exceptions are how the articles look and wiki services (i.e. Uploading files).
- Any blank pages in this wiki will be deleted. Blank pages are just to trick users into thinking there is content.
- More to come...
Categories creation rules
- Don't create new categories for just your product. Instead, discuss it on Category talk:Browse. I'm coming up with alternative ways to organize wiki pages, so don't worry if your specific category doesn't exist yet.

Tips
- You can watch your pages by clicking on "Watch" tab at the top of the page of your choice, or by checking "Watch this page" when editing the page of your choice. Every change that happens on the page will appear on "my watchlist" link on the top of any page.
- Before clicking on Save page button, always consider to Preview the page. Every change you do to the page will be marked in the History tab.
- Please, create an account here on NSIS Wiki before editing articles. If you don't, you'll be easily confused with spammers, trolls, and etc. that are out there and could banned even if you didn't intend on doing such things. That's because it's difficult to interpret if something is spam or not if you don't know how to contact the author.
