Toonami Wiki:Guidelines

These are the guidelines for editing or creating a page on the Toonami Wiki. If you have any questions, suggestions, or complaints, please post them on the talk page. Please do not introduce or alter guidelines on this page without consent from an admin.

Basic Rules

 * Do not vandalize current articles. Continued vandalism will result in a block. Longer periods of time will be given to those whose vandalism is more serious.
 * No offensive articles with sexual implication, suggestive themes, vulgar language, or racist remarks.
 * Do not make pointless articles. If you see one, add the delete template to the article.
 * Respect other users. Personal attacks are not acceptable in any form.
 * Abide by all Wikia Terms of Use while on the site (you agreed to these if you made an account).
 * Refrain from fighting and causing "edit wars" on articles. It is considered edit warring if someone were to make or undo the same edit more than three times in a twenty-four hour period. If such conflict should occur, the proper steps to be taken in this scenario should be for those users along with others to have a respectful discussion on the article's talk page. The convention is for the article to be left as it was prior to the disputed edit, representing the last accepted revision, until an overall consensus is reached.
 * No advertising on articles.
 * Do not only provide one point of view, provide all relevant viewpoints as necessary.
 * Support your article with actual facts.
 * Use a reliable source.
 * Upload only pictures and videos that are applicable to the subject.
 * Slang and profanity are inappropriate unless they are part of a quote. Even then, it should be carefully gauged whether such a quote is really notable and necessary.

Article Layout
All articles not for shows should conform to the following basic layout:
 * Infobox (optional)

All articles for shows should conform to the following basic layout:

Abbreviations & Acronyms

 * Avoid abbreviations when they would be confusing to the reader, interrupt the flow, or appear informal or lazy.
 * When using acronyms, write out both the full version and the abbreviation at first occurrence. (One could write Immortal Grand Prix (IGPX) the first time that subject was used in an article, and then use IGPX in subsequent references.)

Formatting

 * Titles of movies and series should be italicized. (The World's Strongest & Dragon Ball Z). Bold or capitalized text should not be used to convey emphasis.
 * Headings should use a header tag, as opposed to bold text. Blank lines should be used primarily to separate sections and paragraphs. Members are urged only to maintain one blank line in between each section and paragraph. It is strongly recommended that members refrain from adding line breaks throughout an article, as they are likely to be reverted and removed in order to maintain consistency and proper formatting.

Images

 * If possible, each article should include at least one image that appropriately presents its subject.
 * Images should preferably be no larger than 300 pixels wide.
 * Images should not be used excessively to the point that the page gets crowded and distracts from the textual content of an article.

Videos

 * If possible, each article should include at least one Video that approximately presents its subject.
 * Videos should preferably be no larger than 400 pixels wide
 * Videos should not be used excessively to the point that the page gets crowded and distracts from the textual content of an article.
