Dota 2 Wiki:Editing Guides and Counters

This is a short guideline on how to edit Dota 2 Wiki's hero guides and counters. Use Sniper/Guide and Bloodseeker/Counters as models if you are unsure of formatting.

Do's

 * Please be relatively fluent in English.
 * Use Edit Source instead of Edit, it's easier.
 * Use a new line for every tip/fact (point form).
 * Be as concise as possible (short sentences).
 * Only add tips/counters that are commonly accepted and practiced. These pages are not for theorycrafting or cheesy strategies.
 * Always use the word ability instead of "spell", "skill", "ulti", etc. This is Valve's standard.
 * State a reason for each hero when adding counters or your edit may be reverted.
 * Use template code for hero, ability and item names that do not reference the hero being written about:
 * For example: When editing the guide or counters page for Pudge, do not use templates for "Pudge" or "Meat Hook".
 * Names of heroes, abilities, and items must be 100% exact in terms of capitalization and spaces.


 * {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:left; cellpadding=5"

! class="header" scope="col" width="140"|Code ! class="header" scope="col" width="140"|Shows
 * }
 * }
 * }
 * }
 * }
 * }
 * }

Don'ts

 * Do not use abbreviations.
 * , not "LC".
 * , not "Orchid".
 * Do not capitalize the word "hero", "item" or "ability."
 * Simply describing what an ability or item does is not a tip. Do not add things like this.
 * Do not add tips that apply to every hero/circumstance. Only add strategies that interact in a unique way with that hero.
 * For example: Don't write that counters a hero just because he can silence that hero. Silencer can silence every hero.
 * ❌ BAD TIP: 's keeps Necrophos alive longer.
 * ✅ GOOD TIP: 's keeps Necrophos alive longer, letting him deal more damage with Heartstopper Aura, and gives him more time to heal himself with Death Pulse's low cooldown.
