This article has been based on Wikipedia's own Your First Article page

The Basics
This wikipedia is an encyclopedia contributed to by volunteers. Our aim is to document both past and present tournaments providing accurate and reliable information to help people learn about these tournaments. This is not a social media nor is it a place to discredit, attack or harm creators and their work. When documenting a tournament, try to provide reference links to the tournament in question.

Try to write with a neutral tone to avoid bias.

Things to avoid
Articles about individual people or groups of people Whilst creators may be mentioned or linked in relation to the running or competing of OCTs, articles about individual creators or groups of creators will be removed.

Attacks on people or tournaments Material designed with the intent to threaten, defame or harass a subject or tournament is not permitted. Unnecessarily negative information about tournaments - such as internet drama - are also not permitted. Any such instances will be deleted.

Tournaments with no information If a tournament has no year, names or information associated with it, then it should be put into the Lost OCTs section.

Submitting Tournament Rounds Miraheze is not an image archiving site, so uploading an Artist's OCT Rounds is not allowed and will be removed.

Uploading competitor character portraits by tournament hosts is permitted.

Inappropriate Content Do not upload any sexually explicit, discriminatory, violent content or sensitive/private information.

Be careful with...
Sources If possible, give multiple sources for information, deadlinks are a common occurance for OCT information so having more than one way to verify a piece of information makes articles more reliable.
