| - This is the Manual of Style for the My English Wiki. Please refer to the below rules about editing on here. 1.
* When making pages, please make sure that they are about things related to the franchise and/or books. 2.
* Always fill a new page you create with the correct information, proper infobox (if needed), and proper categories. 3.
* Always title pages with title case rather than sentence case. To get a heading in title case, please take a look at this and type in the words for the desired title. Ignore the italics for the article title. 4.
* When putting a word or sentence directly on the next line below a following word, please use instead of to separate them. 5.
* Do not make walls of text. Please separate paragraphs every 10-20 lines. 6.
* Please italicize the titles of movies, seasons, novels, and graphic novels. Put "double quotation marks" around episode, comic, and song titles. 7.
* When dividing a page into seperate pages for the books and the franchise, make the original page the "Books" page and the new one the "Franchise" page, because the books came first. Then ask a , an , or a to remove the redirect. 8.
* Please add "Trivia" and "Gallery" sections to every page that is not a gallery or transcript page. However, if a page has a seperate page for its gallery section, do not put a gallery section. 9.
* For specific types of pages, refer to the examples listed in the category . 1.
* When adding an infobox to a page, only SourceEditor is allowed. For a list of good and bad examples of infoboxes, take a look here. 2. 1.
* All sections of the infobox must be in order of what shows up first from the top to the bottom. Every infobox used on this wiki has the coding set up in the order it has to be place on the pages on it's template page. For example: on the Dragon Infobox, there is a heading called Coding and under that is the code for that infobox, in the order it should be used on a page. Copy and paste that coding onto a page and add the information from there. When VisualEditor is used to add infoboxes to articles, the sections don't end up in the right place usually. 3. 2.
* Please do not clutter infoboxes. That once again means no VisualEditor for adding infoboxes. Please set infoboxes as explained above^, or please just don't add them at all. Leaving them straight out on the editing screens makes it easier for us to find what we want to add/remove/change. When VisualEditor is used, the sections end up cluttered together. 4.
* If you would like a section to be added to an infobox, please contact an admin about it, or if you've already added a section, at least let an admin know. And when you add sections to an infobox, please add it to the coding both what you would copy and paste from under the Coding header and in the example infobox below in the order you placed it in. 5.
* When adding an image to an infobox always make sure to put in |Image = , just place the name of the image and .whatever after it. For example, to put [[File:Toothless!!!!!!!!!1.jpg]] onto an infobox, just put it like this: |Image = Toothless!!!!!!!!!1.jpg. 6.
* Please make all text in parentheses small, unless it's part of a quote. You can make text small by typing this (example). 1.
* Any new page that's created must have at least one relevant category added to it. 2.
* Please do not add/create the same categories that have already been created. 3.
* If you create a category, please capitalize every word of what you titled it. 4.
* With adding a category to a sub-category, please ensure that every article in it is also relevant to that particular category, or that the 'criteria' or 'requirement' of the subheadings should, logically speaking, apply to that category. 5.
* All categories, when added to an article, should be added via [[Category:(Category Name)|(Page Name/Target Name)]] so that it is not named under a G in the category. 6. 1.
* For example, adding the following categories should be done as so: Gallery: Hookfang (Franchise) / Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 2, [[Category:Dragon Character Gallery|Hookfang (Franchise) / Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 2]] [[Category:Hookfang (Franchise) Gallery|Race to the Edge, Season 3]], the latter because many season titles start with a 'D', and starting with 'Dragons: Race to the Edge' in categories would be harder to spot. 1.
* All images must be titled exactly what they are, and preferably where they're from. Please do not just upload images with useless titles. This also means do not title images with a random configuration of numbers or letters. 2.
* All images uploaded must be in HD, if possible. 3.
* Images must not have black bars above and below the picture. 4.
* No pornographic images. They will be deleted immediately and you will be warned/blocked. 1.
* Galleries are only to be created when there are at least more than 20 images on a page under the Gallery section. 2. 1.
* One exception to this policy is that bureaucrats, administrators, and content moderators have the right to create gallery pages when there are less than 20 images to add. 3.
* When a gallery page is created, {{Gallery|[[]]}} must be placed at the very top of the page. 4.
* Headings must be created for each movie, series, or book that a character has appeared in. 5. 1.
* However, when the images in the gallery page are disorganized, headings for each of the peices of media must not created and all images must be placed under a "Gallery" heading until the images are organized. 6.
* Make sure to always add the category Gallery and Gallery to a gallery page. 7.
* If the Gallery page that is being created is for a page with an infobox, it'll have a Gallery section at the bottom of the infobox template on the editing screen, and please make sure to add a picture, a different one from the picture on the infobox itself, to create a direct link from the page to its gallery. For pages that don't have infoboxes, please create a Gallery heading on the page that the Gallery page is for and use the template {{Galleries|}} below it. 1.
* Use credible sources for any information added. 2.
* Please do not use internal s. They're for external uses only. That means do not create references to pages on this wiki. 3.
* References should be cited in APA format, like a bibliography. The APA format is as shown below, editable fields are in blue. 4. 1.
* Books: Last Name of Author, First name. (Year of Publication). Title of Book. Location: Publisher. 5. 2.
* Newspaper Articles: Last Name of Author or Journalist, First Name. Title of Article. (Date Published - Year, Month Day). Title of newspaper, page number. 6. 3.
* Online News Articles or Webpages:Last Name of Author or Journalist, First Name. (Date Published - Year, Month Day or n.d. if no date available). Title of page/article. Title of site. Retrieved (Date Retrieved - Month Day, Year). 7. 4.
* Website Main Pages: Site Name. (Date Retrieved - Year, Month Day). 8. 5.
* Interviews: Last name of interviewer, First name. (Year). Title of Interview. [Interview transcript if available]. Retrieved (Date Retrieved - Month Day, Year). 9. 6.
* YouTube Videos: Title of Video. (Date Posted - Year, Month Day). YouTube. 10. 7.
* Social Media: "Name of Thread/Text in Post". (Date Posted - Year, Month Day). Site Name. 11.
* All references cited that were retrieved online should have be linked directly to the webpage. 12.
* Excessive use of information from another wikia should not have any references, instead, a Creative Commons Licensed template like this should be added below the reference list. If the template for a particular wiki does not exist, inform a , an , or a . 13.
* Examples of good and bad reference citations can be here. 1.
* Please put equal signs next to each other on each side of the words to create headings. 2. 1.
* Eg. ==Example Heading== produces what you see at this page. 3. 2.
* When creating headings, do not put spaces after the equal signs. 4.
* Just like article titles, make all headings in title case. Use the title capitalizer provided above if unsure of how to make a heading in title case and ignore the italics is a work is not the contents of the heading, or in it. 5.
* Do not bold headings, there is no reason to. 6.
* Custom headings, such as these , should only be used on pages, for special emphasis only. 1.
* A page should only be linked to the first time it appears in the Infobox. 2.
* A page should only be linked to the first time i##t appears in the article. 3. 1.
* One exception is that headings should always be linked, no matter if the page was linked to before 4.
* If a page is long enough than there can be reminder links starting 2/3 or 3/4 of the way down the page, depending on the exact length of the page. 5. 1.
* For example, on this page, reminder links should start 2/3 of the way down the page. The administrators and bureaucrats reserve the right to: 1.
* Add new rules as well as change pre-existing rules. 2.
* Warp Rules as need be, so all wrongful acts are punishable. 3.
* Change lengths of blocks/bans. By editing this wiki you agree to follow all of the rules listed and to behave in a reasonable and respectful manner. Please report any rule breakers to the admins.
