How to Outline a Reddit Community Wiki from Subreddit Rules
Wiki outlines fail when they invent a 500 karma gate and Automod YAML. Rules were five lines. That is the whole outline.
The matching generator is the Reddit Community Wiki Outline from Subreddit Rules (Not a Caption Engine) (Reddit Community Wiki Outline From Subreddit Rules Not A Caption Engine) prompt. Browse related cards in the PromptDig library (Browse more prompts). When a filled run survives, share the version you actually use (Share a prompt).
Index every rule before a wiki page
Outline a Reddit community wiki from pasted subreddit rules. Not a caption engine and no invented moderators. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.
Paste these fields before you hit run:
Subreddit name: [Sub]
Pasted rules text: [Rules]
Wiki sections I want: [Sections]
Resources I may link (URLs I paste only): [Links]
Flair list I may use (or NONE): [Flair]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent: [Never]
Tone notes: [Tone]
Output format: [Format]
Excluded topics: [Exclude]
That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.
Link only URLs you pasted
Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.
Walk the Generate list in order:
- Honesty ledger: Sub, every Rules bullet, Sections, Links, Flair. Forbidden: mods, karma gates, Automod not in Inputs.
- Rules index: quote each rule short; map to a wiki page.
- Outline tree under Sections only. Do not add FAQ topics not implied by Rules.
- Link appendix: only Links URLs. If empty, write no external links.
- Flair guide: only if Flair not NONE.
- Refuse list: caption packs, viral hooks, invented Automod.
- Tone pass per Tone.
- Compliance pass: cut Banned and Never. Format as Format.
If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.
Flair guide only when Flair is listed
Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.
Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:
- Wiki outline from Rules. Not a caption engine and not Automod code.
- Never invent moderators, karma numbers, or ban policies not in Rules.
- Only link URLs present in Links.
- Honor Exclude.
- No emojis.
When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.
Not a caption pack
Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.
Tags on the card (reddit community wiki outline, subreddit rules wiki, not a caption engine) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.
Fill the card, then run
Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
