Line 7: ==What goes in the custom content namespace== The custom content namespace is defined by any page that begins with the prefix '''Custom content:''' (note the colon). Pages that start with this prefix are automatically located in the custom content namespace. Content that goes in this namespace include player-created: * Objects Line 42: * '''...hosted on a proper custom content sharing site.''' These include [[The Exchange]], [[Mod The Sims]], [[The Sims Resource]], among others. These websites list custom content in a user-friendly format, providing creators the ability to upload screenshots and write descriptions on the custom content, and will provide a download link that other users can use to obtain the custom content in question. Some websites may also offer additional social features such as the ability to message creators and leave comments. * '''...documented on the creator's website or blog.''' Creators that do this include [[J. M. Pescado]], [[Cyjon]], and [[AroundTheSims]]. The custom content can be hosted on a file hosting website such as [[w:en:Dropbox (service)\|Dropbox]], [[w:en:Google Drive\|Google Drive]], or [[Sim File Share]], and are linked to from the creator's website. * '''...has enough credible sources pointing to its existence.''' This ~~should~~is benot ~~rare~~a strict requirement, but a piece of custom content that has enough links pointing to it from third-party websites may be considered verifiable enough for inclusion. The custom content should still be publicly accessible and free to download. The Sims Wiki is not a hosting service for custom content that has not been uploaded or documented anywhere else. It is not a platform for creators to share their works for the first time; rather, it serves as an encyclopedia to report on information that is already published somewhere else. If you are a creator and want your creation to be featured on The Sims Wiki, at the very least it ''needs'' to be listed somewhere else first, such as a custom content sharing site, a forum for custom content, or your own website or blog. Custom content that is not publicly available cannot be included on The Sims Wiki. Note that most file formats used by custom content creators may not be [[Help:Upload\|uploaded]] to the wiki.
