ytptenniswiki is a wiki that's sole focus is everything about YTP Tennis and anything related that would be useful for a tennis player/enthusiast. While the site is still greatly a work in progress, the goal is to document basically anything anyone would want to know when it comes to tennis stuff.
Contributions are made solely by the webmaster and the Tennis Staff. DIRECT public contribution, due to the hosting situation and the nature of a community like this, likely will never happen. However, anyone can suggest things to add to the site! It just has to go through the staff (or myself) first.
There are several distinct stylistic changes I wish to impose that set this apart from Chewiki and other similar projects:
- There are no pooper pages. There is less of an emphasis on players themselves (except for staff) to remove potential personal biases (and people wanting to wipe their embarrassing works a decade from now). Personal templates that show all different usernames of a player will likely be all that will exist of this.
- Less of a focus on YTP - only the things that apply to both YTP and tennis.
- Contributions will be done by trusted people only. Almost everything I would be preferred to write from scratch, as Chewiki is full of outdated and possibly incorrect information. While historical facts, for example, likely will be taken from there, the plan is to rephrase it in a better way when migrating to a new site.
Hopefully this site will fill the gap that is tennis resources and keeps the sport alive for many years to come. I'm a old but wise man; time to give back to the community I love.
Guidelines for Editors
Please keep these in mind when working on new pages / updating old ones.
- Please don't add any templates or plugins (or ask me directly before doing so).
- As mentioned above, no pooper pages, including for yourself. (The User:USER pages are OK.)
- Feel free to take requests from other users to go through you - they may not be able to edit, but they can still contribute!
- Maintain Objectivity. Avoid saying things are "good" or "bad", if you do, use the third person. For example: "This match is often considered the best of its time..."
Looking for something to do? Check Special:ShortPages and Special:WantedPages. These have the shortest pages or things that are missing, respectively.
