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.
Double check to make sure any facts you have are accurate, and for anything that isn't a trivial part of the franchise (i.e. not easily proven from official materials), please try to cite it on the page. 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 (e.g. "Spe-chan").
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).
