Manual of Style[]
General Writing Style[]
- This wiki corresponds to the original Japanese anime and manga of Cardcaptor Sakura and thus prioritizes the original Japanese names for characters, episodes, etc. Articles are to be written using the original Japanese names taking precedent over the Cardcaptors dub and other international versions of the series.
- Do not add content unrelated to the article. Make sure that everything on a page is directly related to the subject of the article.
- Please be sure to read before you write; the information you are thinking of adding may already be on the page.
- Use words that are appropriate to the article.
- Avoid the use of obscenities in articles. They can be used only in the context of quotes from characters.
- Avoid the use of slang terms/euphemisms.
- Avoid writing in a speculator manner. This includes phrases using "maybe", "could mean" and/or "possibly".
- Keep the short summaries short.
- Do not use phrases such as “the chapter begins with” or “the scene changes to” in short summaries.
- Only discuss the events of the chapter or episode in minor detail in the short summaries.
- If counter-productive edits (commonly known as an edit war) between two or more users are occurring, the users should stop changing the page and use the talk page to resolve the issue. If they do not stop changing the page, an administrator will be forced to protect the page until the issue is resolved.
What is considered inappropriate to add?[]
Info that is general considered inappropriate to add to a page may be:
- Fan-fiction or non-cannon materials.
- Information unrelated to the Cardcaptor Sakura series.
- Information about any living person other than the mangaka aka CLAMP.
Grammar and spelling[]
- Use proper capitalization rules for titles where appropriate. This includes things such as, Chapter/Episode names and section headings.
- The wiki uses American-English as the standard for spelling.
Image usage[]
Images are used on this wiki to depict what often is hard to describe in words. To this extent, all images on this site are being used for illustration purposes only. If images are used for anything more, they can be considered going against copyright laws. To keep the wiki healthy, avoid questions of "misuse" of the wiki and to generally avoid sensitive image arguments. The wiki has certain guidelines and rules that should be noted. Unacceptable images can be considered vandalism just as text can be considered if it is spam, offensive or inflammatory.
Unsuitable or unused images can be deleted at any point without warning by an admin.
Note[]
- If a better version of an already existing image comes out, update the pre-existing image file; rather than uploading a new one, so a record can be kept.
Acceptable[]
- Single cell or single pages from the manga
- Screen shots of a single scene from the games.
- Screenshots of a single frame from the anime and panoramic images.
- File extensions: .JPG, .GIF or .PNG, this is standard requirement for the wiki system and many file extension types (such as .BMP) are not up-loadable.
- .png files (case-sensitive) are preferred over JPG, jpg, and JPEG formats due to the higher quality.
Unacceptable[]
- Do not add fanart of any kind to an article.
- Doctored images of any form.
- Images unrelated to this wiki, we're not an image host.
- Images showing multiple pages from the manga.
- No videos of any kind may be uploaded.
Note[]
While it is known that CLAMP's manga are connected in more ways than one, the mention/comparison of the other manga —especially Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles— should be minimal at best. Reasons being: The two series are connected in significant enough ways that if one of them were to not exist, it would not effect the other.
Mention of TRC should be limited to a section of a page, or in a page's trivia section. If this still leaves questions unanswered, please ask an admin for help or suggestions.
