For anything that isn't a trivial part of the franchise (i.e. not easily proven from official materials), please try to cite it. If you don't have a solid source, try to find one, otherwise consider not adding that specific fact. If you must add it, mark it as needing a citation.
Please keep in mind the '''[[Umamusume_Wiki:Contributing/Guidelines|guidelines and standards]]''' for this wiki to help with keeping things consistent.


== General Translation Guidelines ==
For general '''help with MediaWiki itself''', see [[mw:Help:Contents|MediaWiki's Help Section]].


For sentence-long or longer fields (e.g. secrets), use proper English grammar and punctuation. Please end sentences with a period!
For '''help with features specific to this wiki''', see [[Umamusume_Wiki:Contributing/Help|the help page]].


For fields that are a list of phrases or similar (e.g. strengths, nicknames) use comma-separated phrases and capitalize each phrase.
For a '''list of things that need working on''' and other resources, see [[Umamusume_Wiki:Contributing/Tasks|the task page]].


However, feel free to break "proper" grammar rules if it makes sense in context (e.g. Helios).
If you aren't already, feel free to join the [https://discord.gg/umamusume English Umamusume Discord]. We discuss things in the #umamusu-wiki channel.
 
Keep honorifics in, and add a hyphen to separate them from the name.
 
=== Romanization ===
 
For names with an official romanization (e.g. character names) always use the official name.
 
Otherwise, use [[wikipedia:Hepburn_romanization|Modified Hepburn]], but you can ignore the macrons for long vowels (e.g. てんのうしょう > Tennosho).
 
=== Term Consistency ===
 
When translating these terms, please use these translations to keep things consistent.
