Article format guidelines
Moegirlpedia has a set of format guidelines. Articles that do not conform to these guidelines need to be modified to comply with them.
Article titles
- Main page: Moegirlpedia:Article naming guidelines
Please follow these priority principles, to make their names official, common, English, full-named, and special-symbols avoided. For detailed requirements and other special cases, please refer to the article naming guidelines.
Article preface
The preface chapter refers to the content above the first second-level heading (if you use the vector skin to edit, the "Edit Preface" button will be displayed to the right of the "Edit" button in the upper right corner. Click this button to edit the entry Preface), this paragraph is a summary of the overall content of the article. The preamble chapter generally needs to contain the following content:
Disambiguation templates
Names of some articles may be confusing to readers because of polysemy or their high similarity, so when this ambiguity occurs, a disambiguation template is needed to eliminate it. The most common templates are {{About}}, {{Distinguish}}, {{Otheruseslist}}, etc.
Informational templates Also known as "infoboxes", these are musts for all articles. Each of them typically contains a basic profile and relevant picture for an article, to help readers quickly identify the topic.
Bottom of the article
In Moegirlpedia, according to the convention, the bottom part of an article should generally consist of these parts: "Navbox templates", "Notes", "References" and "External links". The navbox should be above the others without an exclusive 2nd level heading, while the remaining could be splitted or merged into "references" depending on how much the content is.
