## General[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_Wiki:Manual_of_Style&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: General")]
### Before everything else[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_Wiki:Manual_of_Style&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Before everything else")]
* Please do read this article carefully before you make the first edit, even if you feel very passionate about changing something and cannot wait. It will ensure that your (valued) contributions fit the established style of the wiki and allow others to navigate this site and read articles with maximum comfort and minimum confusion.
* Before submitting an edit, please use the "show preview" bottom on the side to ensure that your code is achieving the effect that you wanted it to achieve. Please also check whether there are spelling and punctuation errors, grammatical mistakes, repetition, conflicting information etc. whenever you can. Again, this improves user experience and additionally it avoids unnecessary clean-ups.
### Articles in general[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_Wiki:Manual_of_Style&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Articles in general")]
Some important rules:
* Try to include **categories** (i.e. using *[[Category:Name of category]]*) whilst creating a new article (use other similar articles as example to know which categories to put). If, when previewing, the category name appears in red or if you're unsure, please do not try creating new categories unless you know what you're doing. A moderator or experienced contributor will take care of them.
* Try to always include a **See also** section if possible (and/or applicable). It's good practice for user-friendliness purposes (as it provides a useful and extra mean of navigation).
* The **References** section should always be placed after the **See also** section but before the **External links** section.
* If there's an **External links** section, it should always be placed at the end completely (i.e. last section on the page).
### Capitalization[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_Wiki:Manual_of_Style&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Capitalization")]
For section headers:
* Only the first letter should be capitalized (unless there appears a person's name).
* Though quite rare, in some contexts, some common words may be capitalized (possibly following a discussion/talk about it).
In category names:
* The first letter of the first word should be capitalized.
* Common words should not be capitalized. Examples: "Kudo family", "List of *something*", etc...
* Some words that refer to people should be capitalized such as "Voice Actors", "Executive Producers", etc...
### Naming convention[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_Wiki:Manual_of_Style&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Naming convention")]
Even though Japanese names are usually given with the last name placed first, people's names in this wiki should follow the format: **Given\_name** **Last\_name**.
The rationale can be read [here](/wiki/Detective_Conan_Wiki_talk:Manual_of_Style#Naming_convention "Detective Conan Wiki talk:Manual of Style").
