This is a repository for the creative works, informational texts, and tribal knowledge of the Postfurry community. You, the entity reading this, are eligible to put anything you consider postfurry into this wiki, even if nobody else has done it before, including but not limited to personal worlds, philosophy, ethos, characters, worldbuilding projects, and whatever genre of thought you're hoping to find permission to add to this list.
What does this mean? It means that this is a place for postfurries of any stripe to not only describe what they see other people's interpretations of postfurry is, but what their own interpretation of postfurry is. (This interpretation is by definition correct. Postfurry is anything you would like it to be. Seriously.) Postfurry is not an elite. Postfurry is an orchestra. Just because you're not playing the same notes as others, it doesn't mean you're not in harmony. Come make music.

Editing Guidelines
We don't have any hard-and-fast rules, but we do have a few suggestions that will help keep things easily navigable.
- We need content! Check the Wanted Pages and Stubs lists to see if there's anything you can contribute, and to make sure you use page names that match existing links.
- If you want to create a page about yourself, a good place to start is your automatically-created user page, accessible by clicking the head icon in the top left and then your name in the menu below.
- Create wiki links with brackets and standard spacing,
[[like this]]
rather than running words together ("WikiWords"). MediaWiki is built to have wiki links with natural spacing, anything else just introduces extra aliases, usually. - Use categories liberally. A Category link is just a wiki link that starts with
Category:
. For example, to add something to Category:Characters, just put[[Category:Characters]]
at the bottom of the page. If you think it makes sense to have a category that doesn't exist, feel free to create it!- That being said, try to keep category members at the right level of specificity. For instance, the Neptunian Culture page is in Category:Syncosms, and also has its own category. Neptune and Halcyon are part of that category, and so should not also be in Category:Syncosms.
