So you want to edit the wiki on the Hi-5 World Wiki? Here's a quick guide to the Hi-5 World Wiki:
==When it comes to dates, be a European==
<b>This: dd Month Year

Example: today is {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}.

<i>Not this: Month dd, year

Example: today is {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}.</i></b>

Likewise, avoid numerical dating ('''{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}''' or '''{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}''') because that confuses the hell out of people depending if you're a European or American.

While Americanized spellings are the standard, it's still a good idea to use European dating to avoid confusion.

Furthermore, it's easier to link to.

For instance, if you went with European dating, to link to a month, all it would be is:

'''<nowiki>dd [[Month Year]]</nowiki>'''

whereas an American dating would be:

'''<nowiki> Month dd [[Month Year|Year]]</nowiki>'''

==When it comes to spelling, be an Australian==
Hi-5 originated and had pretty much the majority of its success in Australia. As a result, Australian English is the standard for the Hi-5 World Wiki So, it's "progra'''m'''" and not "progra'''mme'''," it's a "cata'''logue'''" and not a "cata'''log'''," you get the idea.

However, on a similar note, please be considerate of our users from Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Some of our international users are not totally familiar with Australian culture the original Hi-5 may reference, so it is helpful to add a mild explanatory note for these.
