'''ytptenniswiki''' is a wiki that's sole focus is ~~everything about~~ [[YTP Tennis]] ~~and anything related that would be useful for a video tennis player/enthusiast~~. ~~While the site is still greatly a work in progress, the~~ goal is to document ~~basically~~ anything anyone would want to know when it comes to ~~tennis stuff~~.

'''ytptenniswiki''' is a wiki that's sole focus is all aspects pertaining and related to [[YTP Tennis|Video Tennis]]. The goal is to document anything anyone would want to know when it comes to this community, being useful for players and enthusiasts alike.

To prevent vandalism and maintain a quality standard, only the [[Tennis Staff]] by default are allowed to edit the site. Other trusted members of the community can also apply to edit the wiki directly. If you are interested in contributing, go to the discord help server.

There are several distinct stylistic changes between ytptenniswiki, [[Chewiki]] and other similar projects:

* ''There are no pages for individual players ("pooper pages")''. Pages about players can quickly become personal and biased, and goes beyond the scope of the wiki.

There are several distinct stylistic changes ~~I wish to impose that set this apart from~~ [[Chewiki]] and other similar projects:

* ''There are no pooper pages''. ~~There is less of an emphasis on~~ players ~~themselves (except for staff) to remove potential~~ personal ~~biases (~~and ~~people wanting to wipe their embarrassing works a decade from now). Personal templates that show all different usernames~~ of ~~a player will likely be all that will exist of this~~.

* Less of a focus on [[YTP]] - only the things that apply to both YTP ''and'' tennis.

* Contributions will be done by trusted people ''only''. Almost everything I would be preferred to write from scratch, as Chewiki is full of outdated and possibly incorrect information. While historical facts, for example, likely will be taken from there, ''the plan is to rephrase it'' in a better way when migrating to a new site.

~~Hopefully this site will fill the gap that is tennis resources and keeps the sport alive for many years to come. I've been around for quite a long time; time to give back to the community I love.~~

To prevent vandalism and maintain a quality standard, only the [[Tennis Staff]] by default are allowed to edit the site. Other trusted members of the community can also apply to edit the wiki directly. If you are interested in contributing, go to the discord help server.

Please keep these in mind when working on new pages / updating old ones.

* Do NOT import templates/modules from elsewhere without given permission. These can break the site and can cause a whole multitude of problems if not done right! Player aliases are fine, however - feel free to add those.

* As mentioned above, no pooper pages, including for yourself. (The User:USER pages are OK.)

* As mentioned above, ''no player/"pooper" pages'', including for yourself. (The User:USER pages are OK.)

* Feel free to take requests from other users ~~to go through you - they may not be able to edit, but they can still contribute!~~

* Feel free to take requests from other users.

* ''Maintain Objectivity''. Avoid saying things are "good" or "bad", if you do, use the third person. For example: "This match is often considered the best of its time..."

* As it is a historical artifact, referencing Chewiki and similar sites is pretty much a necessity. But please do '''not''' quote it verbatim. ~~It is a decade long hodge~~-~~podge of god knows what, and it is important that only the necessary (and correct) stuff moves here~~.

* As it is a historical artifact, referencing Chewiki and similar sites is pretty much a necessity. But please do '''not''' quote it verbatim. Chewiki had very little quality control, so be sure to cross-reference with other sources if possible.

* When uploading images/assets, please change the filename to something relevant to the image, rather than leaving it as "8970Efas9df7asd.PNG". Captions are useful, but not when trying to ''find'' said file!

* When uploading images/assets, please ''change the filename to something relevant to the image'', rather than leaving it as "8970Efas9df7asd.PNG". Captions are useful, but not when trying to ''find'' said file!

* Add references whenever possible so claims can be backed up, etc. Source pages are generated automatically, so be sure to add a "=Sources=" header to the ''very'' bottom of the page (should be the last thing in the document) in order to separate the generated references from the rest of the page's content.

Looking for something to do? Check [[:Special:ShortPages]] and [[:Special:WantedPages]]. These have the shortest pages or things that are missing, respectively. We also have a spreadsheet that shows planned notable match pages, as well as the ability to add new suggestions.
