So, you want to make an account for the LEI Wiki. Before you do that, there's a few things we expect all users of the site to know, and the process to join is a little less intuitive than you'd initially expect. This guide will hopefully make both aspects as clear as can be.
Don't be a Dick. This should go without saying, but still. Don't be an asshole to your fellow members, including but not limited to - harassment, personal targeting, racism, homophobia, transphobia, telling people "your article sucks balls" without explaining why it sucks balls, telling people "your article sucks balls" in general because I'm sure there's better ways you can phrase that, vandalism, spam, the list goes on. There are thousands of different, colorful ways of being an absolute annoyance to your fellow users. Don't do those.
Don't Vandalize. Mentioned it above, but to elaborate, "vandalism" is defined as non-dismissable changes to another person's article without their explicit permission. In a less robotic way, don't make changes to other people's articles beyond fixing a misspelling or broken CSS item without them allowing you to do so beforehand. Adding a forgotten rating module or changing "chooclate" to "chocolate" is fine. Adding unnecessary elements or changing existing sentences outright is not.
Don't Roleplay. Not onsite, at least. Users on the site are expected to not talk like they actually live in the LEI universe. The League is fictional, and participating in the wiki is meant to be out-of-character.
Wikidot Is A Platform
The LEI Wiki is hosted on a platform called Wikidot, which includes within it a number of other wikis: A TI-Basic programming resource, Half-Life mod lists, a comprehensive detailing of every concert Bruce Springsteen has ever done for some reason… Within those, stands the LEI Wiki as well, so to join you'll first need to make a Wikidot account, and then apply for an LEI Wiki membership. password is: I will follow all rules, and I want to join the league
An important thing to note, is that membership to the LEI Wiki doesn't automatically include membership to any of the wiki's sub-platforms, such as the LEI Sandbox (a place to post Works-in-Progress) and the official chats (self-explanatory), since they're technically separate locations. Joining the sandbox is explained on the sandbox proper, and joining the IRC is explained in the chat guide. Any additional platforms, like Discord, will also have their own sign-up process.
Creating An Account
On the top-right corner of your screen you should see a sign-up/log-in button. If not, go here. Sign up to the platform (if you have any issues with that go to the official chatrooms and ask around), then apply for membership to this wiki at the bottom of the page.
Keep in mind the following rules when creating your Wikidot account and applying to the LEI wiki:
If you've already created your account, to change your name go here, and click on Edit next to your username. You can only change your account's username twice, so be careful.
You may only have one account per person, and one person per account. No alts, no account sharing.
Additionally, Wikidot seems to not work with any email that has numbers in it, so sign-ups and such just break if your account has digits in it. Same goes for the Facebook Integration; if you use it, your account will break.
Our platform comes with many of its own quirks and glitches, but we work with what we have. It is important to remember that if something doesn't work right, you're likely not the first person to discover this issue, and the chatrooms will almost certainly help you deal with the problem.
Please read all site rules before joining this site, Please allow up to 24 hours once applying for the site so our admins can accept you in!
