To help keep the wiki related to MFGG and maintain only things that are worth documenting, here are some '''notability guidelines''' to give wiki contributors an idea of what is helpful and what isn't:
  
Notable things:

===Notable===
*Popular fangames
+
* Fangames, especially finished ones
*Fangames that CHANGED THE SHAPE OF HISTORY
+
* Members of MFGG who are reasonably well-known. In particular, the site staff, forum team, wiki sysops, and people who have created well-known games, sprites, or other contributions.
*Fangames that are reasonably well known. Lots of points if the fangame was actually released.
+
* Major forum and site events, especially significant events that a large number of people participated in.
*Active members, or members who have made a large enough impact for their existance to be noted
+
* Tutorial articles to help those who are new to the many game creation tools that can be used to make fangames.
*Useful utilities/programs
+
* General terminology relating to programming and fangaming.
*Fangame terminology
+
* Sites with similar goals to MFGG's, especially if they host fangames or similar fan creations.
*etc.
+
* To put it shortly, ''the various things that happen on MFGG, including the people involved and the creations they make.''
  
Not notable things:

===Not notable===
*Your pet cat, even if it can do backflips
+
* Your pet cat.
*Garbage

* Members or people we honestly haven't heard of or haven't done anything.
*Members or people we honestly haven't heard of or haven't done anything

* Fangames that have little information to contribute, or have little to no proof of existence.
*Fangames that have never seen the light of day in any shape or form
+
* Forum fads and events that are only remembered by two or three people or otherwise aren't noteworthy.
*"Fads" or events that very few people remember
+
* Chronicles of interpersonal disputes and other drama.
*And so on, and so on.
+
* Vaguely-related sites or communities.
 +
* Articles where the spelling and grammar are so atrocious we can't understand what you're trying to say.
 +
* Generally, anything that doesn't concern MFGG and fangaming.
  
I mean compared to Wikipedia MFGGWiki is tiny, so it should be fairly obvious what content should be written about, and what shouldn't be. If you have any questions, give [[Black Squirrel]] a call.

If you have any questions or aren't sure if something should be discussed on the wiki, feel free to contact our Wiki Sysops [[VinnyVideo]] and [[Yoshin]]. Don't fear asking any questions, even if you think they aren't big enough; after all, there's no such thing as an unimportant question.
