We want to standardize all contributions to keep things as organized and intuitive as possible. If you have ideas to change this guide, you're free to reach out. This article will introduce the various formalities that we wish to abide by.
Basic Guidelines:
- English is the site's main language. Translated articles are allowed, but we want to standardize the database around the English language. This means wherever possible, articles should be first made in English, and translated from English to other languages.
- All categories should be pluralized. If you want to categorize an article you need to add [[Category:Artists]] to your article in the source editor. If you create a new category (though this should only be done by admins) Make everything plural. Change "Artist" to "Artists" for example. If you fail to do this, it will create an entirely new category for "Artist" (as an example) and people will have a hard time finding your articles in that category.
