Umamusume Wiki:Contributing/Guidelines

Note: These guidelines are not final, they will probably be changed.

Contributing Guidelines

Try to keep things consistent! If an existing page or section has a similar concept, use it as a guide.

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.

English Guidelines

When making lists of three or more, use an Oxford comma (e.g. "Special Week, Silence Suzuka, and Tokai Teio").

General Translation Guidelines

In general, 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 Modified Hepburn, but you can ignore the macrons for long vowels (e.g. てんのうしょう > Tennosho).
