Shimanami Tasogare Wiki:General Guidelines

This is a listing of general guidelines on how articles should be created and edited.

General Rule

 * Only add content that improves an article. Any violation, through adding false information, commiting vandalism, spamming or any other destructive actions, will not be tolerated.

Manual of Style
If you are uncertain of how an article should look like or how certain features of the editor works, try to check an article that seems complete, has been reviewed by an admin or edited multiple times (i.e. Tasuku Kaname).

Names

 * Rōmaji: Given name first, surname second. Kanji: Family name first, surname second.
 * If possible, look up the correct Japanese name in the manga. Do not use a translator.

Infobox

 * Use the Character template to generate an infobox.
 * Only use confirmed information; do not speculate or make up false information.
 * If available, link any added information to their respective article page (i.e. Affiliation: Lounge).

Other contents

 * When editing sections like Appearance, Personality or Plot, do not use any personal pronouns.
 * When editing sections like Appearance, Personality or Plot, do not use any contractions (he's > he is).
 * Do not sign your contributions.

Spelling and grammar

 * Before submitting your edit, carefully check your contribution again. If you are unsure about certain aspects of what you have wirtten, simply ask for proofreading in the edit summary.

Correct use of tenses

 * Article biographies, as well as the Appearance and Personality sections are to be written in present tense, as long as the character is still alive, since you are describing the character's current/usual situation.
 * The Plot sections are to be written in past tense, since you are describing past events that have occurred throughout the story.
