These rules are about the style of this wiki. Excessively avoiding these rules will result in a temporary block or a permanent block.
As of April 2nd, 2016, all of the characters/chapters/episodes will have gallery sub-pages. If a page does not have a sub-page, please feel free to make one and remember to link the sub-page on the main page. Zen Wistaria is a good example. Please check out Template:Gallery to learn about the usage.
Article and File Names[]
Article/page titles or file names must mention or be about the subject they are discussing. File names including excessive numbers and letters in a random fashion will be renamed.
When an official name is not available, perhaps because the page or file name is already taken, one that describes the situation can be used.
Article Writing[]
- Write in third person (they, their, and they're).
- Never use first or second person pronouns "I, me, mine, my, you, your, and you're" when writing.
- Write a brief definition of the article's subject as the first sentence or paragraph.
- The first time the article title appears in the text, it must be written in bold.
- If writing a quote, put it in the quote selection and use Template:Quote format. Unless you are adding it into a summary then use quotations marks around the phrase (e.g. John said, "Let there be light").
- Please use US English ("color" instead of "colour") and avoid slang terms unless directly quoting.
- Linking to other pages is usually limited to the first occurrence within the article (excluding infoboxes and templates).
Capitalization[]
- Capitalize at the beginning of a paragraph or sentence.
