Common Editing Mistakes

This is a page that allows our members to avoid common errors when writing source code. Our staff members do not need to spend a lot of time cleaning up the mess.

## Links

The links recurrently cause problems, especially when somebody is linking to another wiki.

### Links to other pages within this wiki

* You have to **always** link to other pages via internal links (instead of external ones).

```
[[Electricity Manipulation]] is considered valid.
[https://thecodex.fandom.com/wiki/Electricity_Manipulation Electricity Manipulation] is considered invalid.

```

* You have to link to blogs via internal links as well. Do not forget to clean up "\_"s too.

```
[[[User blog:Elizhaa/Test Blog|Test Blog]] is considered valid.
[[[User_blog:Elizhaa/Test Blog|Test Blog]] is considered invalid.
[https://thecodex.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Elizhaa/Test_Thread Test Blog] is considered invalid.

```

* You have to link to your user page via an internal link while adding yourself to a verse page either as a supporter or as a neutral or as an opponent towards the verse in question.

```
[[[User:Eli|Eli]] is considered valid.
[https://thecodex.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eli Eli] is considered invalid.

```

* If the verse page's name has some additional text (such as *verse* or *franchise* in brackets), then you have to remake the link in the way without it – only the actual name must be kept.

```
[[Naruto (Verse)|Naruto]] is considered valid.
[https://thecodex.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eli Eli] is considered invalid.

```

* You have to link to VS threads via internal links. Just put `Thread:` with its number, and then put "|"and another character's name.

```
[[Thread:4467|Revisions]] is considered valid.
[https://thecodex.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:4467 Revisions] is considered invalid.

```

### Links to websites outside

* You have to link to pages from other wikis within FANDOM via internal links as well. This is considered one of the hardest methods, but when you get used to it, this method will not be so hard anymore. First of all, you should put `w:c:` at the beginning, then type a certain wiki's domain. Put another colon and a certain page's name, and at the end put "|" and your text. Do not forget to clean up "\_"s as well.

```
[https://the-vagrant.fandom.com/wiki/Vivian_the_Vagrant Vivian] is considered invalid.
[[w:c:the-vagrant:Vivian_the_Vagrant|Vivia]] is considered invalid.
[[w:c:the-vagrant:Vivian the Vagrant|Vivia]] is considered valid.

```

* You should preferably link to pages from Wikipedia via internal links as well. First of all, you should put `wikipedia:` at the beginning, then type a certain page's name. Put "|" and your text. Do not forget to clean up "\_"s as well.

```
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water Properties of water] is considered invalid.
[[wikipedia:Properties_of_water|Vivia]] is considered invalid.
[[wikipedia:Properties of water|Properties of water]] is considered valid.

```

* Wikis unrelated to FANDOM do not have shortened links. Thus you may use external links while linking to some independent wiki related to your profile page.
* Other websites, such as YouTube or Imgur, are completely acceptable to be linked to via external links. However, when you link to a YouTube video, do not forget about the specific timestamp for the relevant scene in question.

```
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4KZDAEZLzQ Sasuke uses Shadow Shuriken justsu] considered invalid.
[https://youtu.be/l4KZDAEZLzQ?t=226 Sasuke uses Shadow Shuriken justsu] considered valid..

```

## Bolding/Spacing

Some members have massive troubles with either bolding or spacing text fragments (either unnecessary gaps or bolding too much).

* You have to avoid unnecessary gaps between quotation marks.

```
'''Wall level ''' is considered invalid.
'''Wall level''' is considered valid.

```

* Do not bold some section's name and its following text at the same time. They both must be between separate quotation marks.

```
'''[[Striking Strength]]: Wall Class''' is considered invalid.
'''[[Striking Strength]]:''' '''Wall Class''' is considered valid.

```

* If your profile is divided by several keys, then you have to bold each key separately.

```
'''Key: Base | Second form | Third form | Final form''' is considered invalid.
'''Key:''' '''Base | Second form | Third form | Final form''' is considered invalid.
'''Key:''' '''Base''' | '''Second form''' | '''Third form''' | '''Final form''' is considered valid.

```

* Try to avoid using colons outside of quotation marks. Also, do not use "-" instead.

```
'''Xe-form''': is considered invalid.
'''Xe-form:''' is considered valid.
'''Xe-form''' - is considered valid.

```

* Do not forget about the gap between a link and the word in front of it.

```

([https://imgur.com/a/dYVVZSA Zeref needed Fairy Heart ] to fight Acnologia) is considered invalid.
([https://imgur.com/a/dYVVZSA Zeref needed Fairy Heart] to fight Acnologia) is considered valid.

```

* You have to bold statistics in the Tier, Attack Potency, Speed, Lifting Strength, Striking Strength, Durability, and Intelligence sections. Do not bold them in the other sections.

```
'''[[Stamina]]:''' Infinite is considered invalid..
'''[[Intelligence]]:''' Gifted is considered invalid.
'''[[Stamina]]:''' '''Infinite''' is considered valid.
'''[[Intelligence]]:''' '''Gifted''' is considered valid.

```

## Capitalisation

Some members capitalise profile fragments incorrectly.

* «level» in Attack Potency and Durability should never be capitalized.

```
'''Multi-Solar System level''' is considered valid.
'''Multi-Solar System Level''' is considered invalid.

```

* Everything is just the opposite in Striking Strength: «Class» should always be capitalized.

```
'''Multi-Solar System Class''' is considered valid.
'''Multi-Solar System class''' is considered invalid.

```

* When it comes to additional terms (At least, at most, likely, possibly, higher), you have to capitalize them only when they are located at the beginning of a section.

```
At least '''6-A''', '''Higher''' via magic potion is considered invalid.
at least '''6-A''', '''Higher''' via magic potion is considered invalid.
At least '''6-A''', '''Higher''' via magic potion is considered valid.
At least '''6-A'''. '''Higher''' via magic potion is considered invalid.

```

* When you write a sentence within brackets, do not forget to capitalize the first word. The last sentence within the same brackets should be without a dot.

```
(comparable to the noble demon. Should be superior to the arc demon)) is considered invalid.
(Comparable to the noble demon. Should be superior to the arc demon) is considered valid.
(Comparable to the noble demon. Should be superior to the arc demon.) is considered invalid.

```

## Images

* Always change `thumb` to `right` in image codes.

```
[[File:Text.png|thumb|300px]] is considered invalid.
[[File:Text.png|right|300px]] is considered valid.

```

* The number of pixels should be without the remainder of division by 5.

```
[[File:Text.png|right|296px]] is considered invalid.
[[File:Text.png|right|300px]] is considered valid.

```

## Slang

Try to avoid using battleboard slang words. Use formal words that mean the same thing instead.

```
'''Large Building level''' with prep is considered invalid.
'''Large Building level''' with preparation is considered valid.
'''Multi-City Block level''' with amped by lighting is considered invalid.
'''Multi-City Block level''' with amplified by lighting is considered valid.

```
