Changes: The Green Ember Wiki:Editing guidelines

Revision as of 17:38, 19 April 2020

This is a list of useful guidelines for editing on The Green Ember Wiki.

Guidelines

General

Only administrators and content moderators may change what is displayed on the wiki's front page, but suggestions and comments are always appreciated.

Infoboxes

Only canon information should be inserted into infoboxes.
The {{*}} template should be used in infoboxes whenever necessary and appropriate.

Pages

When creating a new page, please add more than just one sentence; make sure that the information you are putting down is wholly accurate; and conform to the rules of proper punctuation and grammar. Otherwise, your page may be deleted.
Since The Green Ember Wiki is an encyclopedia, everything relating to a specific event should be written in the past tense.
Article names (the actual title of the page on the article) should always be in bold.

Images

Images should have titles that pertain to what is shown in the image. The name of the book from which the image comes should be in the title as well. (I.e. if the image is from The Green Ember, you should add "TGE" into the title.)
Image captions should have proper punctuation (including periods), and should not contain links.

Galleries

Gallery pages should contain "tabbers," which divide the images into different sections and make the gallery look more organized.
Images in galleries should be centered (including captions) and have small spacing.
