Recruitment/format

Format for Posting Adverts

Group adverts are to follow a very specific format. Your advert code should look like this: ===[[Group Name]]=== {| | {{:Group Name/Recruit}} time stamp (~~~~~) or timed signature (~~~~) Optional if otherwise displayed. |}

• The entire advert content is "encased" in a table. This prevents one advert's formatting from affecting other adverts due to image "text flow" and so on.
• "Group Name/Recruit" is a normal wiki page that contains the content of the advert. Using the curly brackets and colon inserts your advert page's entire contents onto this page, just as if it were a template.
• You MUST put the following categories on your "Group Name/Recruit" page:

<noinclude>[[Category:Group Subpages]]</noinclude>

or

<noinclude>[[Category:GROUP NAME HERE]]</noinclude> if your group has a category of its own.

• Additionally you should add:

<noinclude>[[Category:Recruitment|TYPE]]</noinclude> where TYPE is your group type.

• Place your advert in alphabetical order by group name, within the relevant group type. Adverts not posted in the proper alphabetical order will be moved.
• Large Groups or Organizations with significant subgroups are limited to one advert. This includes groups such as the DHPD and the DEM, they may use their advert to direct players to the separate sub-groups.
• The advert must have a timestamp (five tildes - ~~~~~) or a signature with an attached timestamp. This can be placed either on this page or on your adverts page.
• After two months as measured from the timestamp the entire advert may be removed for inactivity. It is the group’s responsibility to update the timestamp to prevent the advert being deleted. Updating the timestamp may and should be done at any time while the group is still recruiting.
• Adverts which do not use the format below or fails to adhere to the guidelines above will be commented out. This can be done using comment tags - <!-- ... -->. A dated comment will be left in the edited section explaining why the advert page was dis-included; if the advert is not fixed within two weeks, the entire section will be removed.
