Guide requirements

To ensure good quality content, your written guides must be-

  • Written in Markdown
  • Completely unique and original - plagiarized content is strictly forbidden!
  • Proofread and free of grammatical errors before submitting
  • Of the same writing style and format as our other articles and tutorials
  • Thoroughly tested and confirmed it works with FPS.ms
  • Of high quality: don't submit work just to receive extra balance, but with improving the knowledgebase in mind.

Less is more and uniformity is important - don't fill the screen up with unnecessary text, but straight-to-the-point steps that align with our other guides. Keep in mind we reserve the right to edit your work before publishing.

FPS.ms Specific Markdown guide

  • If you want a user to click a button, clarify they need to click on the button by making it bold with **button**
  • IPs, ports and commands should always be in an inline code
  • No arrows, text, etc. is allowed in screenshots
  • Upload screenshots with alt text (example: ![Connecting with SFTP settings for Filezilla](https://cdn.fps.ms/help/connecting_with_sftp_filezilla.png)) and a file name that's representative of what you're showing (e.g. connecting_with_sftp_filezilla.png)

How do I submit my work?

You can contact the Management team through Discord. We will read your work and if it is approved, it will be published in our Knowledgebase and you will receive your Contributor role and the Resource Boost accordingly.

NOTE

By submitting your guide, you assign and transfer all rights, including but not limited to publishing, editing, and any commercial or non-commercial use, exclusively to FPS.ms. Once your guide is approved and published, you are strictly prohibited from using, publishing or distributing it yourself.

If you do not agree to fully hand over the rights to your work, please refrain from submitting your guide.
