A to Z Wiki:Editing Guidelines

Here are some guidelines to editing around our wiki to make sure pages stay neat and within uniformity. Please note that any violation of these guidelines will most likely be reverted.

Images

 * ALL IMAGES SHOULD BE IN THE PNG FORMAT AS THEY'RE BETTER QUALITY. JPG FILES WILL BE DELETED.

Sizes

 * For a Character Infobox, images should be in the ratio of 250x350.
 * For an Episode Infobox, images should be in the ratio of 1110x630.
 * Images used in recaps should also be in the ratio of 1110x630.

Names

 * Images for a Character Infobox should be named after the character themselves. E.g., Zelda's main image should be named "Zelda Vasco.png".
 * Images used in a character recap should have the character's first name followed by the episode the image is set in the title. E.g., Andrew's image for the Pilot episode should be named "Andrew 101.png" (101 being the production code of that episode).
 * If the character requires more than one image for an episode, then the images should be numbered. E.g. "Andrew 101 01.png" and "Andrew 101 02.png".
 * For an Episode Infobox, the image's title should contain the show's title, "A to Z", as well as the episode's number. E.g., for the Pilot episode, the main image should be entitled "A to Z 1x01.png".
 * For episode recaps, the images' titles should contain the production code of the episode followed by which image on the page it is. E.g., the first image on the Pilot episode's recap should be entitled, "101 01.png", and the following image should be entitled, "101 02.png", etc.

The "I" Template

 * THE "I" TEMPLATE MUST BE USED FOR ALL IMAGES THAT EXIST WITHIN RECAPS, ANY OTHER WAY OF ADDING AN IMAGE TO A PAGE WILL BE DELETED FROM SAID PAGE.
 * The "I" Template is simple to use, simply type the image you want into a recap using this skeleton:


 * We request that the "I" Template only be written out on top of a paragraph, as it will look better and neater when it comes time to publish.
 * If you're adding an image to a character recap, we request that you put the name of the episode using the "E" Template (See below) . Here's the skeleton:

Galleries
ANY OTHER IMAGES ADDED TO THE GALLERIES WILL BE REMOVED
 * Galleries must be posted in slider form only as this reduces the size of the page dramatically.
 * On character pages, the only images to be posted in the image galleries are promotional photos for episodes that feature said character. Also, promotional photos of the character are also to be added to the character page.
 * Despite how minor the character appears in the photo, for example an arm of the character, the picture shall still be posted in their gallery.
 * On episode pages, the only images to be posted in the image galleries are promotional photos and behind the scenes photos that promote said episode.
 * On actor pages, the only images to be posted in the image galleries are behind the scenes photos that feature said actor, despite how minimal their appearance, such as an arm.
 * Images are also to be added in order of the episode they belong to, for example, 1x01, 1x02, 1x03 etc...

Recaps

 * We ask that images applied to recaps be given the width of 200px and are arranged on the page from left to right to left again (etc.), if another image is added in between, we request that the rest of the images be rearranged accordingly.

Characters

 * For a recap on a character page, we request that a paragraph be be given detailing what a character did in a particular episode marked off with an "E" Template. We also request that each paragraph be big enough for an image to be added along with it.
 * A paragraph such as this should be given per every episode in which the character appears. By recapping like this, it allows more specified and less general information to be added and allows the recaps to be updated every time a new episode airs. However, we do request that you don't jump in and try and recap a character that is currently under the "possession" of another user.

The "E" Template

 * The "E" Template is very simple to use and merely makes editing faster. For instance, if you were to type out " " at the end of a paragraph on a character recap, it would appear as.
 * We also request that this be used in image captions to signify what episode the scene within the image is taken place.

Episodes

 * We recap our episodes in several paragraphs, giving good enough detail of what happened in the episode.
 * However, episode recapping is a job best-given to the staff members of the wiki.

Categories

 * Please do not create categories without clearance from the staff members.

Characters
Categories on character pages should follow this order: Obviously, if the categories are not applicable, do not add them. For instance, for a character who did not appear in the first season of the show, don't add them to "Season 1 Characters".
 * Main/Supporting/Minor/Episodic Characters
 * Season 1 Characters
 * Unnamed Characters
 * Unseen Characters
 * Deceased Characters

Episodes
Categories on episode pages should follow this order:
 * Season 1 Episodes
 * Season Premieres (for a first episode of a season)
 * Season Finales (for a last episode of a season)
