Article Rules

The AMJ wiki has several standard rules regarding the creation of articles. Several vital pages or important wiki articles are made in a way that not every user can edit them. But authors are welcome to add their own new articles.

## Scope of Wiki

Articles can only be made regarding characters, factions, and concepts form the Avatar: Macai's Journey (AMJ) sub franchise. This sub-franchise includes in sequels, prequels, and spinoffs of the story. The Wiki also allows articles about characters, locations, and concepts from the Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA) TV series. Characters, locations, and concepts from the Legend of Korra (LOK) TV series (the official sequel to ATLA) are also acceptable.

Right now, it has been undecided if articles about characters, concepts, and events form future series planned by Avatar Studios will be accepted in this wiki. **Articles** **regarding the Avatar The Last Airbender film are not manon and therefore not allowed on this wiki.** Articles involving the Avatar Kyoshi and Yangchen novel concepts are allowed.

## Respected Fanon Works

While there may be respected fanons, articles regarding their characters, organizations, plots, and other concepts are not allowed unless personally added by the original author of AMJ with agreement of the fanon writers involved.

## Article Topics

Articles must be specific in their purpose and not too broad. For instance, articles can be about a specific character such as the Macai article. An article should not however be too narrow like if it is about a specific aspect of Macai such as "Macai's abilities". Such an article could cause unnecessary clutter on this Wiki and would be deleted. Each character or concept will only get one article on this wiki with the exception of characters who have multiple identities. Characters with multiple identities such as Zuko and the Blue Spirit may have separate articles as the concepts are different although the character may be the same.

There can be articles about locations from AMJ, ATLA, LOK, and series within the AMJ universe regarding locations, codes, rules, laws, diseases, political events, weapons, and wars/conflicts.

## Article Length

An article must be of an acceptable length in order for it to remain on this wiki. Articles that aren't long enough may be deleted after 48 hours of notice. An admin or moderator will notify a user if an article is too short or in some cases that admin may increase the length of the article. Try to have at least 3-5 paragraphs in each article. Five paragraphs if they are short and three if they are long.

For the most part, an article being too short is worse than it being too long. However, we should write with intentionality. Articles that are too long, may be trimmed. Make a conscious effort to not be repetitive in the points you are making.

## Organization

An easy way to ensure articles are organized is to split up paragraphs in the form of topics. To list a topic, a user should make a heading for each topic. To make a heading, type "====" around whatever the topic of interest is. For example, if you want to mention a character's personality, type "==personality==". Note, the quotes that are used in this example are only being used to denote that it's an example. Good topics subjects include:

* Personality
* Abilities
* Legacy (information regarding what happened after a character's lifetime)

It is often best to include information in a paragraph that cannot already be explained in an infobox.

## Infobox

While it isn't a necessity to use infoboxes for every article on this wiki, they are an effective way to organize one.

## Spelling Style

All spelling should follow the British or American standards of spelling and should be written in English within this wiki. In the future, AMJ may expand to include different languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and French.

## Article Neutrality

Articles on this wiki should be impartial in style and should not show any hint of bias. Personal favorites should not be mentioned in articles. Instead, reading pages should feel similar to reading encyclopedias or dictionaries.

## Images

Images on this wiki for most character and weapon categories are aligned to the center.

## Grammar

Articles that lack appropriate grammar and have multiple misspelled words will be deleted.
