The policies and guidelines described in this page apply only to users who edit the Wiki. All users are expected to follow Fandom's Terms of Use.
If you see others violating the spirit of these rules on the Wiki, you should bring their attention to the way their behaviour is perceived and undo disruptions. If you were referred to this page by another editor for actions you've done in good faith, don't take it personal and remember to help the Community before you respond to them.
Conduct Policy[]
 |
This section is a result of consensus in our Community. While we encourage everyone to be bold in contributing to the Wiki, changes to this section should follow proposals on the Talk page. |
Policies are principles meant to set boundaries on the acceptable forms of behaviour on the Wiki. While each policy comes with a short explanation, they are not meant to be taken as an exhaustive list of acceptable or unacceptable behaviours.
Be civil[]
- Critique content. Keep discussions relevant to the Wiki's mission of presenting information about Oxygen Not Included. Avoid personal attacks directed at people. Comments about a person's identity, affiliations or interests are not critique of content.
- Be direct. You should communicate in such a way that others are able to engage with it. State your opinion plainly, avoid snideness, swearing or otherwise colorful language. Describe the reasons behind your edits on the Talk page – especially if they conflict with another editor's edits – instead of engaging in edit wars.
- Be reasonable. The information on the Wiki is a result of back-and-forth discussion between the editors. You should be open to this process and to changing your opinion. You should offer your reasons with patience, and hear others' with empathy. Assume others are acting in good faith.
Respect the Wiki[]
- Delete freely. Generally, it's much better to have a small amount of substantiated data rather than a large amount of unsubstantiated data. If it isn't firmly sourced, delete it!
- Help the Community. Your contributions should be to the benefit of everyone, not just a few and especially not just you. They should be relevant to the Wiki's mission. You should be reasonable facing critique of your content. If you find you are stepping on toes everywhere you go, you should stop moving and ask for help.
Contribution Guidelines[]
Guidelines should be followed with common sense. Exceptions may apply occasionally.
- Unless you are writing in a Guide page, remain unbiased, and present information in a neutral manner.
- Link to external information when, such as videos or forum posts, when relevant. Give credit to those you learned from.
- It is preferable to have an in progress page than no content, even if not fully accurate. Give fellow editors a place to build off of. Every bit helps!
- When updating an article, note game behaviour changes in the
== History ==section.
- Avoid duplicating links to the same page close to each other.
- While some pages have a small section for tips, more elaborate strategies and guides should be created as a subpage of Guide. Compare Guide/Oxygen and Oxygen.
- Use singular they instead of he/she or similar. It's not only easier to read, it's also correct, since some Duplicants are non-binary!
This guide does not aim to explicitly define all style-choices on the Wiki. When adding content look for similar elements on the Wiki, and strive for consistency!

Design for Light and Dark Skins[]
Please keep in mind that The Oxygen Not Included Wiki has Dark and Light Skins that Users can choose from, and you should design your pages accordingly.
Images[]
Sometimes Images would not be easily visible from one Skin to the other, that's why there is a Template for Themed Images which is used as follows:
{{ThemedImage |light=Klei_Logo_Orange.png|dark=Klei_Logo.png|size=x24px}} results in 
which is white using the dark skin, and Orange using the light skin
Or for diagrams (This one is used for the Door Pump Guide)
{{ThemedImage |light=Door Pump Diagram.png|dark=invert|size=500px}} results in
a black on transparent image, that is meant for the light skin and is inverted on the dark skin. (black turns white, yellow turns blue, green turns magenta, etc.)
Color Guide[]
To assist with that we have dynamic colors that change depending on the Skin. While a lot can, and should, be done by assigning classes and solve theme dependent coloring with css. (Simply ask on the 
unofficial ONI Discord in the #wiki-collab channel), for small things use following variables for colors:
| color variables ending in --rgb are used like | color:rgb(var(--theme-accent-color--rgb))or color:rgba(var(--theme-accent-color--rgb),0.9) |
| other colors used like | color:var(--theme-accent-color); background:var(--theme-page-background-color--secondary); border:1px solid var(--theme-page-text-color); |
