Editor’s Guide

The **Editor’s Guide** serves as a guide to help users who are willing to contribute keep the wiki consistent and organized.

Mistakes and typos will be made and are inevitable, and will be forgiven up to a certain point. Please be careful and think twice about your edits when contributing.

**Please check Policies first for the rules set for editing.**

## Standards

The names of characters, locations, etc. will adhere to the **existing, popular fan translation** by Yu & Rui and the **ongoing official English translation** from Seven Seas. All information should only be derived from them and from Meatbun herself.

Information from the ongoing official English translation **should be** prioritized over the existing translation. This includes information such as quotes, character details, chapter names and so on. Pages that contain information that is not consistent with official translation will be placed in this category.

## Images

Images should be given a proper/unique name. Images must be uploaded in the highest quality possible.

### Official

Official images come from media that obtained commercial rights to produce their content. Currently these are: Novel Editions.

### Fanarts

Uploading fanarts without permission is not allowed on the wiki. If you have the author's permission, use the **Permission license**. Authors should be properly credited in the file name and the summary. It's best to also include a link to their profile. Note that fanarts will be deleted when official images are released.

## Linking

To link an internal page in source editing, surround its page name with double square brackets. To give it a new name, add the link first before adding the new name. If you are linking an external site, make sure that it is encased in only single square brackets.

Example:

```
[[Page name]]

```

Example (Internal Linking):

```
[[Link or Page name|New name]]

```

Example (External Linking):

```
[Link New name]

```

## References

The content on the wiki is reliable only if each article has references. While editing, please remember to include sources to newly added information. To add the references section, use this template at the end of the page.

Note: Prologue does not count as Chapter 1, hence why chapters should appear to be a number behind if you are using fan translations.

To include a **chapter** reference, add:

```
<ref name="chX">Novel, Chapter X: Y</ref>

```

Where X is the chapter number and Y is the chapter title. Example:

* Novel, Chapter 1: Stain
* Novel, Chapter 55: Don't You Know How Dirty You Are?

For **extras**, add:

```
<ref name="chX">Novel, Extras, Chapter X: Y</ref>

```

Where X is the chapter number and Y is the chapter title. Example:

* Novel, Extras, Chapter 196: Academy Epilogue, Beyond the Finale
* Novel, Extras, Chapter 212: Dream of Youth (16)

## Spoilers

If certain sections on a page contain spoilers for future chapters or major plot points, simply use the spoiler tag template. The field should be written like this:

```
{{Spoiler Tag|content}}

```

If the content includes potential spoilers for the novel that Remnants of Filth shares a universe with, *The Husky and His White Cat Shizun*, the field should be written like this:

```
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Show Spoiler" data-collapsetext="Hide Spoiler" style="width:100%;">
'''''This section contains spoilers for The Husky and His White Cat Shizun!'''''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
content
</div></div>

```

If you deem that almost the entire page contains spoilers, add the spoiler template at the top of the page.

## Templates

Templates can be found in the Design Templates category. When searching for existing templates, type "Template:[Template Name]" into the wiki's search bar. To create one, add a new page and name it "Template:[Template Name]".

To add a template to a page using source editing, surround its name with double curly brackets.

Example:

```
{{Template name}}

```

### Quotes

To add a quote at the beginning of a character's main page, use the quote template.

Example:

```
{{Quote|quote|character name|Chapter X}}

```

Where X is the chapter number. Chapter name is not needed.

Example (Quote Template):

```
{{Quote|It was you who made me believe.|Mo Xi|Chapter 19}}

```

It will show up as this:

If you want to add a quote within a character's Appearance, Personality, or History, or as a description for anything else, use the blockquote template.

Example:

```
{{Blockquote|quote|caption/description<ref name="chX">Chapter X</ref>}}

```

Where X is the chapter number. Chapter name is not needed.

Example (Blockquote Template):

```
{{Blockquote|This book is forbidden. Transgressors will be punished.<ref name="ch0">Novel, Prologue</ref>}}

```

It will show up as this (without the references):

### Infobox

Characters like Mo Xi and Gu Mang hold a lot of information for their infoboxes, which is why most characters will need a separate template for it. To create an infobox, add a new page and name it "Template:[Character's Name] Infobox" and copy the fields from the Character Infobox template. To edit an existing infobox, go to the character’s edit page and look for the page options. Look for “templates used” and you will see their infobox listed.

If it is deemed that a character does not need an infobox, simply use the character template.

### Tabber

The tabber template is used to separate a character's subpages and allows you to switch between them easily. This should only be given to **major characters**. The field should be written like this:

```

```

## Categories

Every new page on the wiki should be properly categorized. Categories can be added by including "Category:[Category name]" in double square brackets at the bottom of the page in Source Editor or by clicking the "Add category" button at the end of the article.

```
[[Category:Category name]]
```

From the **root category** you can access all categories and pages on the wiki.

### Characters

For characters, the categories should be: Characters / Male/Female Characters / Family (e.g, Murong, Mo, Yue, Chu) / Country / Others. If a character appears only in one or two arcs, the arc name also should be added. Example: Hong Shao's page.

### World

For articles about sects, locations, weapons, etc. the categories should be: World, Sub-category (Locations / Weapons / Items / Events / Terminology). If you're not sure what sub-category fits the article, add the category Miscellaneous.

## Characters

The headers within the character pages should be written in the following order: Appearance, Personality, History, Trivia, and References.

The **Introduction** will be written beforehand but will not get its own header. It should include the character's name, their name in simplified Chinese characters and its pinyin, which will both be placed within parentheses.

Example:

```
'''Mo Xi''' (墨熄, ''Mò Xī'')

```

Character name should be in **bold** and pinyin should be *italicized*.

### Major Characters

This should be followed for major characters, or characters who hold a lot of information like: Mo Xi, Gu Mang, Murong Lian, Murong Chuyi, and Jiang Yexue.

Background will not be the same as History and will only be a short summary on **character pages with tabbers** for those who have not finished the novel yet. If anywhere within the page has spoilers, please use the spoiler tag template.

Major characters should have a tab for separating their Overview, History, Relationships, Abilities, and Gallery (only if they have any images uploaded. See Policies regarding uploading images) sections into subpages. Introduction, Appearance, Personality, Trivia and References do not need their own subpages.

The field should be written like this:

```
{{Character's name Infobox}}

```

### Minor Characters

This should be followed for minor characters like: Li Qingqian, Hong Shao, Li Wei, and Lu Zhanxing.

Minor characters **do not** need a tabber or subpages and will only have all of their information listed on their page itself. Their headers should be written in the following order: Appearance, Personality, History, Abilities, Trivia, References.

Only include the necessary headers. If the character does not have a described appearance, abilities, etc. then do not include it.

## Locations

As we are following Yu & Rui's translation, some location names will remain in English and others will be in pinyin with its first letter capitalized. (e.g, Warrior Soul Mountain, Phoenix Cry Mountain, Luomei Pavilion, Shennong Terrace).

## Weapons

Weapon names will be in pinyin (e.g, Shuairan, Fengbo) with an exception for the Demonblood Beast.

## Items

Item names will be in English (e.g, Brocade Pouch) with a few exceptions (e.g, Zhenxin Herb).
