MWDHPedia:Manual of Style

This Manual of Style outlines a standard of formatting for articles on this wiki.

Contributing guidelines

Image Policy

Galleries can be split into their own subpages if they become too lengthy for the main article. Example images and galleries must only contain official artwork such as promotional artwork, official merchandise photos, character profiles, or screenshots from in series. Fanart and commissioned non-official artworks are not allowed.

Please ensure that image uploads are properly named. Do not use generic image names like IMG-1234.PNG, if an image is of Valerie, use her name ("Valerie", "Diamond", or "Diamond Heart") a shortened nickname ("Val") or abbreviations such as "dmd", and "vlr". This makes the photo easier to search and ensures that duplicates are harder to upload.
- Abbreviations used: Dmd - Diamond Heart, vlr - Valerie, Sah - Sapphire Heart, So - Sophie, Amh - Amethyst Heart, Clv - Clover, Amb - Amber, Al - Alex, Gar - Garnet Heart, Li - Liam, Emh - Emerald Heart

Trivia Policy

Trivia about characters should be relevant, and provable. Meaning: No speculation allowed in trivia and it must relate to this wiki's topic. Examples of poor trivia looks like:

"Amber might be based on..." "Clover is similar looking to..."
- speculation isn't canon, please limit trivia to confirmed facts and reference claims either with the episode number it appears in or links to dev posts backing the statement up so other fans can have accurate information!
"Valerie shares her voice actress with Mirko from Hero Academia"
- Some voice actors have a LOT of roles. While it's interesting information, please try to keep voice actor trivia limited to wiki's theme (that is, a wiki for an indie magical girl project). If we started listing all their roles, we would become a voice actor wiki!

Interwiki Linking

You can link to some other wikis using interwiki linking!

Interwiki links allow you to make links on other mediawiki sites and certain other approved pages, and have it show up as if it was another link within this wiki, without the external link icon. Most commonly it can be used for linking to Wikipedia article on the topic.

For example, you can link to Wikipedia using {{w|Magical Girls}} to get Magical Girls, [[w:Sailor Moon|]] and get Sailor Moon, or [[wikipedia:Pretty Cure|]] and get Pretty Cure.

You can also link to a Fandom wiki using [[fandom:pripara:Kuma|Kuma]] to get: Kuma

Check Special:Interwiki for a list of sites that utilize the system.
