Please link alternate language subpages through the associated language subpage by redirecting to the appropriate page. For example, for the English-language page [[Elin:Ashland]], create the [[Elin:Ashland/ja]] page and redirect it to [[Elin:エイシュランド]], and vice versa. | Please link alternate language subpages through the associated language subpage by redirecting to the appropriate page.

This allows the Polyglot extension to automatically switch the language to the user's native language while browsing. | This allows the Polyglot extension to automatically switch the language to the user's native language while browsing. | ||
===Wikilinks=== | |||
Format all links in content to hide the namespace. | |||
For example, when linking to [[Elin:Ashland|Ashland]], write the wikilink as so: <nowiki> [[Elin:Ashland|Ashland]]. </nowiki> | |||
The first time a Npc, location, or other notable item is mentioned in an article, it is helpful if it is linked appropriately. | |||
In tables, always link the related item or page, even if it is listed multiple times. | |||
If the item is not notable enough to have its own page, you can use # in the link to append the proper heading to the title such as <nowiki>[[Elin:Dragon Slayer#Replica|Dragon Slayer (Replica)]]</nowiki> | |||
===Article Names=== | |||
All proper nouns, locations, and important words in article titles should be capitalized appropriately, as well as the first letter in any leading words such as "An, A, The" if they are the initial word in a title. Do not capitalize conjuctions or prepositions unless they are the leading word in a title. | |||
For example, [[Elin:The Place Where Winds Rest|The Place Where Winds Rest]] and [[Elin:The Mansion of Younger Sister|The Mansion of Younger Sister]] | |||
Precious Item pages should be generated under their identified name, and not their unidentified name. | |||
For example, [[Elin:Sword of Forget-me-not|Sword of Forget-me-not]]. | |||
Characters should only be listed under their given name, the part in 「Brackets」, and not by their callsign, title or alias. The callsign should be added to the page appropriately, as some characters may have multiple callsigns depending on story progression. | |||
For example, [[Elin:Ashland|Ashland]] | |||
===Tables, Divs, Etc=== | |||
Try to keep all formatting as simple as possible (while still providing clarity of information) '''for now.''' | |||
Wikitables are '''currently''' preferred over html tables for the sake of generating pages, if possible. | |||
As data and pages become more content dense, we will evaluate styling of tables on a unified, wiki-wide scale. | |||
Parser functions and minor styling is acceptable, but subject to change as content expands. | |||
The current goal is to make the data as easy to enter as possible for newcomers to wiki editing, and to refine and optimize the presentation of data at a later date. | |||
===Categories=== | |||
Provide the appropriate categories to content. For a list of categories, see: [[Special:Categories|Categories]]. | |||
Tag all English-language content with <nowiki>[[Category:EN]]</nowiki> and all Japanese-language content with <nowiki>[[Category:JA]]</nowiki> | |||
