Layout Guide

This is the **“official” layout that should be used throughout the Jamestown Wiki** in order to maintain a steady, organized and easy-to-use Wiki. This guide is meant to help users understand the basic layout for each page and the overall layout of the Wiki.

**Note:** *Please, keep in mind that some characters/events/etc. have more data that orders, so we have to adapt to the amount of information we have.*
**If you have any questions or suggestions don't be afraid to contact any of our Admins to help you.**

## Basics

### General

* **We use canon information in the articles of this Wiki** (from the series, interviews, etc.);
* All articles should be written with an **unbiased and informative language** (meaning: don’t take your dislike for some character/pairing into this Wiki, please);
* Try your best to use **proper spelling and grammar**;
* **Article titles should start with capital letters** (i.e. "**J**ocelyn **C**astell" and not "Jocelyn castell");
* **Avoid writing in all capitals** (i.e. SAMUEL CASTELL IS THE RECORDER OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY): it makes it harder to read and there’s no point in writing any article in this fashion;
* **We use the present tense in most articles:** the only time the past tense should be used is when referring to a deceased character, past event or past relationship.
* For **galleries and slideshows**, we use **official photos**. However, screencaps & co are allowed in galleries if they have a good definition.

### Links

If you are editing a page and there is an article that exists on this Wiki, link it.

* There is no need to link the same article over and over again throughout your text;
* Don’t link the page you’re editing within the page itself (“**bold**” it instead);
* You are allowed to link an article that doesn’t exist if you wish to create it/suggest it.

Note: if you are on “Classic Editor” on “Source mode” because a page has too much complex code, to link just type this into your text:

```
[[Article name]]

```

### References and Citing sources

Since Jamestown series gives no titles to its episodes, in this Wiki **we prefer to cite the episode than to write the title into the text**: avoid writing “*In Episode 1.04, Verity…*”. Place a reference instead.

Also, **all external sourches of information must be cited**.

To cite a reference, add this to your text on the "Source mode" of "Classic Editor":

```
<ref>[article title/websise link/etc.]</ref>

```

And don't forget to add this code to the end of the page:

```
== References ==
<references />

```
