Time eludes us. Death is ineluctable. Everything is temporary. POST COMMENTS BELOW WITH SUGGESTIONS AND SHIT SO WE CAN MAKE THINGS WORK. Let's try and define how we're actually going to do this.

Rule proposals
Go to the rule's page and use the comment section to discuss it. Edit the page with your proposal only after a consensus has been reached with other members. If an agreement can't be found, just make a new page and file it under Category:Alternative Rules. Easier forks is one of the reasons why we've made the wiki, afterall.

Categories
Try to keep each page filed under the appropriate category, it helps a lot with indexing.

Category:Games is simply for game campaign pages. There are two categories, required for games to show up properly on the roster:
 * Active games should also be put under Category:Running Games;
 * Concluded games should be moved from Running to Category:Dead Games.

Category:Rules is for any page with game system stuff. It has a few subcategories:
 * Category:Muny Reworks is for, well, Muny rules;
 * Category:Alternative Rules is for anything that is not Muny. It has its own subcategories for single chunks of rules, like Category:Freeform Magic.

Game pages
Pages for campaigns should contain the infobox for games. Click on Insert->Templates and look for "Infobox game".

They should also be filed under Category:Games and either Category:Running Games or Category:Dead Games, as appropriate. Here you can see an example for Wishing You Were Here.

Pictures
Hotlinking on wikia is allowed only from whitelisted sites, so basically from another Wikia, Photobucket or Imageshack. Just paste a direct link and it'll be automatically parsed to the actual picture.

Otherwise you can upload an image.

Google spreadsheets
You can download a Gdocs spreadsheet as a Comma Separated Value document, then feed it to this handy tool to get it converted to a Wikimarkup table. Mind that any cells containing text beginning with a + or - character will inevitably break the table, so you'll have to make a pass over things (maybe with a find/replace tool).
