How to edit content of dispatches
Content editors are in charge of keeping up-to-date with TSP current laws/regulations and information, and improving them as they wish. You can edit any dispatch that you are granted editing permission to. When to update You should periodically (e.g. once per month) check the Assembly for new laws. If any passed bill makes the content of any dispatch outdated, you should update them within a reasonable time frame. Since most dispatches only contain a high level description of government laws, you only need to pay attention to major bills (e.g. Charter amendments, passage of an entirely new law, major amendments,...) if you don’t have time to check every single one of them. How to edit The content of all dispatches are hosted on a Google Spreadsheet HERE. It contains multiple sheets for all dispatch categories. If you are a MoE Dispatch Team member, you are granted editing permission on all MoE-owned dispatches by default. The meaning of each column:
All dispatches need to comply to the design guideline, to make this easier, you can write dispatches with custom BBCode tags. They are short, easy-to-remember tags that let you write pretty dispatches without thinking about the design guideline and writing long tag sequences. You can also use placeholder variables, macros, and other things to make life easier. The comprehensive guide to all of these formatting tools is HERE. What to update Common updates you may make including adding a small section, fixing a number or a sentence, and so on. It is very rare that you have to make a massive update in one-go. If you are not clear whether a part should be edited or what to write, just ask the Coordinator. If you have the time and ideas, you can add brand new content or edit the entirety of a dispatch by yourself to make it better. Happy editing!
