Page formatting and editing guidelines

This is a general guide on how to edit and format on the wiki.

## Editing

Note: All edits **MUST** follow the wiki's rules (and fandom ToS).

Something to keep in mind when editing is that, as a wiki, the contents of the articles are not opinions—they're meant to state fact. The exception to this is when discussing or mentioning fan responses, i.e. "while part of the fandom thinks \_\_\_, another part thinks \_\_\_". You need to stay objective.

Anyone is welcome to edit a page where it's necessary—but over-editing is a possibility. Re-wording is fine when something looks awkward, for example, but is entirely unnecessary to rewrite a sentence spelling out what the words that had been on the article mean (ex: "Kedamono removed mask after mask" to "Kedamono removed each mask one at a time"—same meaning). This is unnecessary because it can make the text longer and clunkier than necessary, which in turn disrupts the flow of the article.

### How to edit

On every page (unless pages that are locked) there is an "edit" button directly under "discuss" on the navigation bar. For how to use the editor, please refer to fandom's official help page.

### Using references

Editors are expected to use sources to back up additional information added. For how to use references, please refer to fandom's official help page.

## Page formatting

New pages have different ways they should be formatted depending on the contents. Regardless of content, all pages should remain left-aligned (the default).

### Infoboxes, and when to use them

Infoboxes are containers that vital information is displayed in, such as a character's name, age, height, weight, etc. When editing, infoboxes are a template that can be inserted into the article and edited to display information.

Infoboxes should always be used for the following purposes:

* Character pages
* Book pages
* Series pages
* Episode pages
* Media pages (CDs, DVDs)

Pages that don't have vital statistics or information regarding the contents of the article do not need an infobox.

### Templates

Templates are essentially chunks of pre-formatted code that can be inserted into articles and used over and over again. There are templates for infoboxes, for example, for galleries, for stub articles, etc.

### Out of date templates

These are templates that have had newer versions added. Listed are the out of date ones followed by their currently-used ones.

Template:DVD/CD/VHS\_Infobox -> Template:DVD/VHS/CD 2

Template:Infobox character -> Template:Infobox character v2

Template:Infobox series -> Template:Infobox series v3 (I KEEP BUNGLING THIS)

## Episode pages

This gets it's own section. This (image below) is the anatomy of an episode page:

### Introduction

The introduction presents the title of the episode, the episode number, and what episode number the episode is in the season.

Here's a template:

`[EPISODE TITLE] is the [EPISODE NUMBER] episode out of 39 overall, and the [EPISODE NUMBER IN SEASON] episode of season [SEASON EPISODE APPEARS IN].`

The table of contents, if there is one, should appear under the introduction, and under that is...

### Summary

This is a very, very short episode description. It intentionally leaves the details out. This shouldn't exceed 75 words.

### Characters

The characters featured in the episode are shown here. This is the ONLY time a character's name should appear as a link to their page.

### Plot

This is a full description of the events of the episode. Please try to avoid making paragraphs that are more than 7 lines (lines, not sentences) long. It makes the summary heavy, clunky, and hard to read.
