Every article should adhere to the Manual of Style; please read it and contact an administrator whenever you have any questions.

General Guidelines

  • Never use double spaces when writing on any page or subpage.
  • Do not put spaces on either side of slashes (/ or \).
  • All pages must have proper spelling and grammar.
  • Do not put empty paragraphs or sections on any page or subpage.
  • No decision had been made on whether the wiki will use a specific variety of English.
  • Article titles and headings should have the first word capitalized, along with every other word that isn't an article (e.g.: "the", "a/an", "and"), save for policy articles. The same applies to categories and subpages.

References

The references section should have links to any external references made on the page. Add the {{Reflist}} template to the section with <ref>*link*</ref> tags to the page where references are made.

See Also

The "See Also" section should be present in every article and should have links to other articles that are relevant to it. For example, the Omnitrix article's "See Also" section should contain links to, among other articles, "Primus" and "Ultimatrix".

Linking

Links should be to the main article itself, rather than to a redirect page.

Overlinking

Links to any specific page should only appear once per section.

Italicizing and Bolding

Links to episode articles or just names of episodes should be italicized, links to series articles or just names of series should be bolded, and links to movie articles should be italicized and bolded. All other links shouldn't have any sort of emphasis.

Content

Categories

Galleries should only have gallery-related categories (e.g.: "Gallery", "Episode Galleries") and not categories belonging to the main article (e.g.: "Characters", "Aliens").

Text

Galleries should not have any text whatsoever, except in the form of captions and sections.

User Pages

Templates

User pages should not have templates that automatically add non-user categories to them. They will be removed when found.

Categories

All user pages must have the category "Users" added to them and, if necessary, additional categories regarding that user's position, with the only exception being Wikia staff.
