Raid Cycle

Policy This article defines official w/i/ki Policy. Shortcut: w/i/ki:CYCLE

The Raid Cycle is a theoretical model of how /i/nvasions are conducted.

A good /i/ raid should last as short as possible from planning to execution - no more than 48 hours - to prevent spais and whiteknighting from alerting the target and ruining the raid.

Raid Proposal

1. Raid is proposed in /i/.
2. If proposal is good, make wiki article based on Site Raid Template or Personal Raid Template, using the Template:Raid Infobox, following the format "Operation: Something".
3. Make a 209 x 195 pixel raid icon to go at the top left of the page.

In Development

Raids that Need Your Help

1. A sysop will add the raid to the Raids page under the Raids that Need Your Help heading.
2. Begin the planning to include the method, target, site or personal information, and IRC channel. Discuss this in /i/.
3. Arrange for recon of the target and add information to wiki.

Good New Raids

1. When {{Raid Infobox}} is completed, a sysop will move the raid to Good New Raids on the Raids page.
2. Complete the planning to include the the raid time and date, and add the raid to the Events Calendar by adding [[Category:Events]] and [[Category:dd/mm/yyyy]] to the bottom of the page.
3. Issue the orders by making promotional material, YouTube videos, etc., to be publicized on the *chans
4. Supervise on /i/ and in IRC to ensure everyone knows and follows the raid plan.
