Guidelines

A guidelines page is a guide to follow when making edits to a wiki. If you're looking for what can get you banned, read the Rules.
=== Images and Files ===
* Images should be of good quality, both in terms of resolution and	image quality (e.g. no pictures of TV screens; take screenshots instead, which should be of good quality).
* Do not upload a duplicate of any file unless it is significantly different.
** For example, a gif of a scene and an image of that scene are both allowed. Concept art of a preexisting subject/scene is allowed. Uploading an image from the same scene, with little-to-no differences, is not allowed. This keeps the wiki's files clean and organized.
** Replacing low-quality files with improved versions is allowed. Replacing files unnecessarily is not allowed.
* Include appropriate licensing.
* Remember to add categories (make sure that a specific category doesn't already exist in some way).
** Do not add categories that really don't need to be made (e.g. making a "Music" category when "Soundtrack" already exists, or "Children", "Adult", "Teenager" categories that further dilutes articles).
=== Community Interaction ===
* Links to external sites are subject to this wiki's guidelines	(excluding official sources and relevant references).
* General chat should be kept on comments, discussions, or message walls.
* Personal conversations should be kept on message walls.
* Suggestions, ideas or concerns about an article can be expressed in that article's comments. If you are uncertain about a change, post about it there first.
* Suggestions, ideas or concerns about multiple articles or subjects should be expressed in discussions.
=== Page Structure ===
* Start with an infobox when relevant.
* Write a brief definition of the article's subject as the first sentence.
* The first time the article title appears in the text, it must be written in bold. Include the original Japanese name if it is known (e.g.	Naota Nandaba's page).
* Linking (e.g. [[Example]] for internal links and [Example] for external links) to other pages is usually limited to the first occurrence within the article (excluding infoboxes and	templates).
* List categories at the bottom of HTML/source edits.
* Page markers should be inserted above infoboxes.
* Section markers should be inserted after the section header, but before the first sentence.
=== Article Standards ===
* As a general rule, write objectively, factually, and neutrally when possible.
* Write in third person.
* Avoid possessives (e.g. "you") outside of quotes.
* When writing a quote, remember to use quotation marks.
* Do not write in "textspeak" or slang terms.
* Try to be clear and descriptive in your writing.
* Avoid your personal point of view and opinions.
* Do not claim authorship. The exception is your original works uploaded as files.
* Names and proper nouns should always be capitalized.
* Article and section titles should be taken straight from the source when possible. Unofficial titles should not be changed unnecessarily, including synonym edits.
* Articles should be written in American English. The exceptions are canonical materials which misspell words (e.g. "She stood like the engel" by The Pillows), uses other dialects, or foreign languages.
* If you plan on editing a page continuously, try to avoid doing so with many small edits.
* If you find an article where there are more images than there is text, consider removing less informative pictures, or making a gallery.
** Galleries longer than 30 images should be migrated to a separate page (titled as "page name/gallery") that is linked to in the existing gallery section. Haruko Haruhara's page is an example.
** Do not add an abundance of captions to the galleries as they can be seen as excessive, this is to make the galleries organized and neat.
** Furthermore, do not change the order of the galleries unnecessarily, this is especially prevalent with episode galleries as they are organized based on order of appearance, if the order is wrong then make sure to organize them in one single edit rather than small unnecessary edits.
* If you find yourself limited in what you can add to an article or you see an article that does not follow the guidelines, add a page marker relevant to the problem so that others may be able to help. These templates are:
