Editing Guidelines

Hello and welcome to the Rise Wiki!

Here you can find current guidelines for editing, such as language, formatting, colour picking and more!

## Language and Writing Style

### Language

This wiki uses English as it's main written language. Edits made using other languages will be overwritten.

Wiki tools may exist to allow users to write in other languages while giving users the option to switch between them. If you are interested in making this happen please contact an admin!

#### Dialect

This wiki uses English (United Kingdom) for all content. Please refrain from mixing English (United States) or others with content, and especially no rewriting content that already exists in English (United Kingdom).

### Writing Style

All content unless in a blog or discussion post must be written from an unbiased perspective and in formal English.

An exception to the unbiased perspective can be allowed for notes on the translators opinions of characters and developments.

## Formatting

All pages should follow standard formatting. The source code for various items can be found below:

### Page Layout

The basic page layout for any character is outlined below:

```
{{Infobox Character}}
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is ...

__TOC__ ***This line is to specify where the table of contents goes***
== Appearance ==
<br>

== Personality ==
<br>

== Pre-Novel ==
This section is for events occurring before the novel officially starts.

== Novel ==
This section is for events occurring after the novel officially starts.

== Quotes ==
<br>

== Trivia ==
<br>

== References ==
<references/>

{{Navbox Characters}}

```

The introduction must follow on the line right after the infobox ends, and must be the first piece of written content on the page.

**The introduction is not headed by any section title!**

`'''{{PAGENAME}}'''`

This is to be used instead of writing out the name of a character, so that if the name is changed at a later point in time, all instances of that name will automatically update!

### Infoboxes

The basic infobox layout is outlined below:

```
{{Infobox Character
}}

```

The infoboxes automatically assign icons based on rank, role and gender. As such, the inputs need to be formatted a certain way for it to work:

* Rank must be written as the full rank from Iron to Challenger with the division in roman numerals (I, II, III, IV, V). If a person is Platinum 5, the rank is written as "Platinum V".
* Main Role must be written in full - Top, Jungle, Middle, AD Carry/ADC, Support.
* Other Role(s) is formatted the same way as 'Main Role' however each role is separated by a comma and space. E.g.:(Jungle, Middle, Top)
* Gender must be written as either "Male", "Female" or "Unknown".

### Table of Contents

The table of contents must be inserted below the first paragraph of the page.

It can be inserted by typing the following onto the page.

### Tables

Tables can be formatted slightly differently based on the content, but a basic template can be found below:

```
{| class="article-table mw-collapsible mw-open" style="font-size:100%;width:80%;"
! colspan="3" style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #08abac 0%, #01698b 100%);text-align:center;width:100%;" |TABLE TITLE

```

* `colspan` Specifies the number of columns, in this case it's three (3).
* `| style="text-align:left;width:30%;"` Text align can be 'left', 'center', or 'right'. The width is to be adjusted based on necessity, but must add up to 100%.
* `|-` Denotes a new row.
* `|` Denotes a new column.

### References

All pages must include references where possible.

References can be added using:

`<ref>[URL Chapter xxx]</ref>`

Example Usage:

`<ref>[https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/rise/rise-chapter-201 Chapter 201]</ref>`

The last section of a page must include the following tag:

`{{Reflist|2}}`

Example Usage:

1. ↑ Chapter 201

## Translation Spoilers

Translation spoilers are defined as information not included in current translations.

**Translation spoilers are strictly banned. Attempts to include spoilers may result in a ban depending on circumstances.**

That being said, the following guide exists for people who have been **given permission by an admin** to include spoilers. These exceptions will be given on a case-by-case basis.

Make sure to specify in the spoiler title like shown below. When you insert spoilers, add them in a sub-section of where they're meant to be, and make it collapsed by default.

**Under no circumstances are characters not yet in translation to be given their own page.** This is to reduce the number of changes needed if the translation team changes the name during translation, which happens *often*.

You can do this by putting these lines of code:

```
{{TL Warning}}
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-open" style="width:100%">

=== Spoilers! (From chapter xxx - xxx) ===

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

SPOILER CONTENT

</div></div>

```

For example, if you're editing Tang Bingyao's page and want to add a spoiler in the Novel Section from chapters 100-200, you would write it like this:

```
== Novel ==

NON-SPOILER CONTENT

{{TL Warning}}
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-open" style="width:100%">

=== Spoilers! (From chapter 100 - 200) ===

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

SPOILER CONTENT

</div></div>

```

**The formatting of the <div> code needs to be the same as what I've written here, otherwise it won't show up properly!**

## Colours

The wiki uses four main colours for its theme.

The hex values can be found below:

* Main Background: #1e2328
* Page Background: #212121
* Header, Buttons, Toolbar: #035e6f
* Links: #059294

For tables which display win/loss or a position such as first/second/third the following colours are to be used:

* Win: green\*
* Loss: red\*
* First: #D0A92C
* Second: #C0C0C0
* Third: #CD7F32

\*Simply type the word in and it will work, no hash needed.

## Templates

Templates should not be touched unless by an admin or someone with permission from an admin.

This is to prevent inexperienced people from tampering with templates and introducing errors, as well as to prevent vandalism. Users are free to view template source code so that they may copy it and test it out in their own spaces.

### Useable Templates

Below are some templates that you might find useful when editing:

* `{{Citation Needed}}` More information on the use of this template can be found here.
* `{{Notice}}` More information on the use of this template can be found here.
* `{{Under Construction}}` More information on the use of this template can be found here.
* `{{Spoiler Warning}}` More information on the use of this template can be found here.
* `{{Quote}}` More information on the use of this template can be found here.
* `{{TL Warning}}` More information on the use of this template can be found here.

Note:

* Spoiler warnings are general, and should go at the top of a page.
* TL Warnings are specific to content not translated yet, and are treated as a sub-level of the 'Spoiler Warning'. They go directly above non-translated content.

## Rules and Penalties

The following sections display the rules and penalties for editing and commenting on the Martial God Asura Wiki. You are allowed to appeal any of these penalties by contacting an Admin with your reasoning.

### Vandalism

Vandalism is defined as anything that intentionally disrupts the content on a page. This could be things like but not limited to:

1. Mass removal of information
2. Inserting intentionally misleading information
3. Inserting inappropriate language onto the page

### Comments

The rules for commenting are as follows:

1. Language in the comments section should refrain from using swear words as much as possible, however it is allowed in moderation.
2. Spreading false information is prohibited.
3. No spamming
4. Commenting to complain about the author or such is not allowed. Take your whinging elsewhere.

Actions that would result in a penalty:

* Excessive use of foul language
* Spreading false information
* Spamming

Complaints about the editing community not having added information will not result in a penalty, but will be deleted UNLESS they are in a *constructive* manner. This is especially annoying when the person complaining has never edited in their life. Editors do the work *for free*, and in their own *time*. In a nutshell, don't whinge about things.

Comments violating the rules will also be deleted.

### Penalties

Penalties are the same for all rules, and are as follows:

* 1st offence - 1 Day Ban
* 2nd offence - 3 Day Ban
* 3rd offence - 1 Week Ban

Bans after the 3rd offense will be a minimum of 1 month, and on a case-by-case basis. Permanent bans will usually not be handed out, however on a gross violation of fandom and community guidelines this may be given.

Do NOT ban evade. Rules on this are the same as anywhere else. You will be banned for a month if you are caught ban evading.

## Help

Feel free to message myself or any other admin here if you need help, we'll be happy to do so!

If you think that we can add important information to this page, or if the information is outdated, let us know!

Have fun editing!
