= How to contribute =
If you're not sure where to begin contributing, take a look at [[Special:ShortPages]] and [[Special:WantedPages]] for lists of pages that could use attention the most. For now, the primary focus is to get information into this wiki; cleaning it up and making it more presentable can always be done later if you are concerned about the quality of your writing.

I'd agree with putting summary and analysis on the same article, but I do feel that the script is a bit different and deserves its own page because it's not really encyclopedic content, and is more just a data dump of source content.

Is it alright to talk about the history of the Lain community itself here? [[User:Quintuplicate|Quintuplicate]] ([[User talk:Quintuplicate|talk]]) 00:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
If you mean in the wiki itself, then yes, absolutely. I only request that you be mindful of how personal the information being posted is. I will admit that I will be more active in editorial control of language in topics relating to real world people and events, to try to ensure a neutral and factual tone is preserved.

Does Wikipedia's [https://enwp.org/WP:NOR No original research] rule apply here? [[User:Quintuplicate|Quintuplicate]] ([[User talk:Quintuplicate|talk]]) 08:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
I'm going to say no, but it isn't something I want to actively encourage. If you choose to do research and post the findings here in a way that is relevant then that's fine, but I think maintaining verifiability and npov is all the more important in that context.

== Local area articles ==
Would it be OK to make articles like "Los Angeles" as a more permanent space to refer to and a resource hub when planning meetups of Lain fans? We have threads like [https://www.lainchan.org/r/res/29434.html this] but they're ephemeral and in any case people from different regions are all mixed up together so it's not much of a help. Kind of like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/LA or https://geohashing.site/geohashing/Los_Angeles,_California only for the Lain community.--[[User:Quintuplicate|Quintuplicate]] ([[User talk:Quintuplicate|talk]]) 16:49, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
I think that most people who are going to look up the wiki, are people who haven't watched and are interesting or are watching the show for the first time. I think we need to implement a disclaimer at the top of pages deemed to have "spoilers" so no-one gets spoiled on accident. Maybe even refer to dead characters in the present tense. I also, think there should be more admins handling this site instead of just one person, makes it easier to find vandalism and polish the wiki (delete unnecessary pages/redirects, etc.).

I don't think this is the place for planning events - that would should happen in the community that is doing the event. I also don't think making an article for the location would be the right way to handle reporting the event. Instead, I think if meetups happen that are notable, the appropriate place would be on an article about the entity doing the meeting; so in this case, lainchan.
