honestly the disputed template thing might be a bit much for Year Zero pages. Almost EVERY page has something that is disputed in it regarding Year Zero. I can see it's uses on other pages pretaining to non Year Zero NIN info, but for the sake of Year Zero it's better if we work with Theory sections and Discussion pages rather than tagging articles as disputed.

- The main reason things are disputed so much is because some people still have half-@ssed idea on things when the evidence obviously proves the opposite. Such theories include: Mallory is the angry sniper, the asian kid from the shard was killed from angry sniper, angry sniper was the asian kid, angry sniper is trent reznor, angry sniper is the presence, angry sniper can beat chuck norris. Seriously, he's not that cool. Oh and other things like saying that "The Warning" is not about the presence...what kind of crap is that? ITS SO OBVIOUS IT HURTS AND PEOPLE DISPUTE THESE THINGS!! -Velvolver 05:16, 17 April 2007 (PDT)
Things to Do

| What can you do to help out in the NIN Wiki?
|
Name Of The Song
|
Song titles should always have first letters capitalized, even with small words. For instance, Down In It would normally be formatted Down in it, but this does not look quite right and can be confusing in some cases. Here are some general guidelines:
- All First Letters Must Be Capitalized For Releases And Song Titles
- Song titles should be in "quotes", while album titles should be in italics
- Page names for songs should be Song Title, unless there is also a halo for it, in which case it should be Song Title (song)
- Page names for halos should be Song Title (halo)
- For example: With Teeth (song) and With Teeth (halo)

Focus on NIN Discography
|
|
The Nine Inch Nails discography is expansive and can be confusing. A Wiki is the perfect place to catalog, in detail, each NIN release and NIN song. To help out:
- Create song pages using the Song Layout, which will standardize song pages.
- Add the NIN Songs category to songs and the NIN Discography category to releases and etc.
- Do not add links to mp3 files of songs. If you really think the article needs it, ask an Admin first.
- Add Year Zero stuff as it comes up. After all, that's what this Wiki was created for originally!

Wikipedia

|
Wikipedia can be a great resource to study when writing NinWiki articles, but it's important to remember to never copy word for word what Wikipedia says. It's not illegal, it's just bad practice. Let's build a great wiki from the ground up :-).
