Nomipedia:Contribution Guidelines

Welcome to Nomipedia and thank you for volunteering to help improve our wiki! We appreciate the love and care you put into Nomi 💜

To keep our wiki clean, consistent, and easy to navigate, all contributors should follow these guidelines below. (We recommend bookmarking this page and the home page)

General Principles

• Write clearly and simply for readers with varying backgrounds.
• Stay focused: articles should help users understand and use Nomi better.
• Use a neutral, helpful tone — avoid personal opinions.
• Content should describe how Nomi currently works and include only verifiable information (ie: information developers have stated or confirmed, not speculation).

Editing Basics

• Always check existing pages before adding any new page or content.
• Interlink and reference existing content where possible. (It can help to have another tab with the All Page view open for reference)
• Reference the Style Guide below to maintain clean formatting (formatting examples included)
• It is generally best to edit source content to ensure intended formatting (the [[]] button is an "edit source" shortcut)
• If your content idea does not fit on an existing page, use the New Page Guide to create a new page for your content.

Moderation

• Currently, all edits and new pages are reviewed before they are visible to others. If content does not fit the guidelines, it will have to be rejected.
• If you have any questions about how to incorporate something or any of the guidelines, please feel free to ask by emailing support[at]nomi.ai.
• We greatly appreciate help keeping the Nomi wiki up to date, but please remember, all contributions are made voluntarily and become the domain of the wiki once added. No contributor or editor can claim ownership of content after submitting it to moderation.

Nomipedia Style guide

To keep Nomipedia clear and consistent, please follow these style guidelines when writing or editing pages.

1. Tone & Voice

• Write in a helpful, neutral, and welcoming tone.
• Focus on explaining concepts and solving problems, not personal opinion.
• Use second person ("you") when giving instructions (e.g., You can improve communication by…).

2. Structure

• Use short sections with headings (e.g., == Like this ==).
• Break up long text with lists or steps.
• Put the main answer/solution first, then details.

3. Formatting

• Use bold for key terms: Nomi Memory, Voice Calls.
• Use italics for emphasis or menu items: Settings, Preferences.
• Use ordered lists (#) for steps and unordered lists (*) for bullets.

4. Links & References

• Link to other Nomipedia pages when relevant: [[Memory]], [[Voice Calls]].
• Avoid external links unless absolutely necessary.
• If linking to Discord or outside resources, explain why.

5. Adding a New Page

If you searched and found that there is no existing page for the topic you would like to cover, please use the New Page Guide here.

6. Categories & Tags

• Every page must include one feature category (e.g., [[Category:Voice]]).
• Add optional content type tags (FAQ, Guide, Troubleshooting, Explanation) if they apply.
• Generally existing pages will already have the appropriate tags, but it is worth double checking.

Current tags are:

• [[Category:Guides]] – step-by-step instructions or walkthroughs
• [[Category:FAQs]] – common questions with focused answers
• [[Category:Troubleshooting]] – problem/solution flow to fix issues
• [[Category:Explanations]] – conceptual background, theory, or definitions

7. Media

• Use images, screenshots, or diagrams when they make instructions clearer.
• Add descriptive captions so readers know what they’re seeing.
• Optimize files for web (not huge raw uploads).

Rule of thumb: Make every page clear, consistent, and useful — write for readers first!
