Editor Guide
Hello and welcome to ! We are happy that you are interested in editing here and we're eager to help. In order to get started, there are a few pages you need to read first in order to comply with site policy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact a member of the admin team.
== Required Reading ==
*Manual of Style: This is probably THE most important one to read. It breaks down the heading order, what content can and can't be put on your page, and other important information. It's a bulky read, but if you only read one thing, read this.
*Editing Policy: This is more the nuts-and-bolts of our editing policies here on the wiki. It is also highly recommended that you read this one.
== Helpful Tips ==
*If you are just creating a username and is brand new to wiki editing, you might want to read the help pages created by FANDOM to give you a solid start. 
*Before you start creating your own original characters, fanfics, etc., click around and see how pages on the wiki should look like. You should pay good attention to the infobox, what kind of images are included, and the order of the headers.
**A good place to start is the main page, where you will find a random Featured Article taken from a list curated by the staff
*To really understand the format, you will want to click the arrow next to "Edit" and scroll down to "source edit." There, you will see how {{Templates}} and [[Links]] are formatted.
*You may want to experiment with the format before publishing your article. A good way to do this is to create a sandbox page. On your user profile, create a slash and add "sandbox". This should yield: [[User:Username/Sandbox]] The admins won't tag your sandbox for Manual of Style or editing violations, so you can experiment there before publishing.
=== Mobile Editors ===
Because we haven't yet moved to FANDOM's updated portable Infoboxes, editing on mobile on is difficult. If you are a mobile editor, we recommend that you:
*Use the "full site" version, not the mobile version, to edit. You can see the full site by scrolling all the way to the bottom of a page and clicking the link.
*Just like any other editor, it is best to use Source Edit instead of Mobile/Visual Editor. 
**If you use visual editor, extra line spaces and other coding snafus are more or less automatically published into your page. And no one wants that kind of mess.
*Your best bet is to keep your page format simple. Tables and fancy css codes are probably out of reach for you. Stick to the infoboxes etc. that other people have already created and coded for you.
**(Unless you're already an expert css/wiki dev coder, in which case: we're hiring!)
