Guidelines

Before you start to edit a webpage, it is very important to keep the following list of guidelines in mind.

Spoilers

• The inline spoiler tag should only be used when spoilering one word or part of a sentence. It should only be used when no alternative would allow a spoiler alert to be displayed in a convenient way.
• For paragraphs or pages, use Template:Spoilers instead. This will display a boxed spoiler alert relative to the whole page/section. Alternatively, you can use Template:Spoilerbox, which creates a box with an Expand button.
• Pages or sections relative to a specific chapter/episode do not need an alert. If people read the page about Episode 12, they might figure out that the ending is likely to be revealed. Adding a warning in the introduction is acceptable.

Scanlations, Fansubs and Copyrighted Material

• Do not provide links to subbed episodes, manga scanlations and other borderline legal content.
• Uploading of official art, screenshots or specific scanlated pages is acceptable if they serve a specific purpose (illustrating an article, showing something, etc.).

Talk pages

• Please always sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~) before posting.
• You can indent your comments by using colons (:) at the beginning of a line. This way, you can easily answer to someone by posting below them and indenting your contribution.

Articles And File Uploads

• Translated Official Documents (and its talkpage) is for translated (or at least summarized) documents only. Uploading a file without its translation is fine, but please do not add it to either of these pages if you do not provide at least a basic description of its content.
• Please do not upload a file without knowing its source or an indication that would allow us to find it. If you know the source, please add it as a file description.
• If you want a file to be translated (or a translation to be checked), please add it to Category:Translation request. You can do so by adding [[Category:Translation request]] in the file description field.

Page Structure

Image Galleries

• The galleries should be split up into the following four categories when applicable: "Official Art," "Screenshots," and "Miscellaneous." When a page doesn't have any images that can fit into one of the galleries, that gallery will be omitted: for example, the Episode 12 page will only have the "Screenshots" in its gallery, whereas the Madoka Kaname page may have all three.
  • "Official Art" contains concept art, promotional images, Ume Aoki's doujinshi and illustrations, manga images, and so on.
  • "Screenshots" includes screenshots. Please try to keep the screenshots as relevant as possible to the page.
  • "Miscellaneous" contains other visuals that don't fit into the above categories.

Character Pages

• Character pages may be adapted depending on the needs, but should somehow respect the following layout:
  • Personality
  • History (or "Backstory")
  • Power, weapons and abilities
  • Trivia
  • Gallery (may also be a separate page, e.g. Madoka Kaname/Gallery)

Episode Pages

• The usual layout is:
  • Summary
  • Runes
  • Images
  • See also/external links
