Forum:SH Archive/Reminder: The Layout Guide

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 



I want to remind everybody about the Layout Guide. Every Wookieepedian should know what's in it.

While everyone should read the whole thing, I want to point out a few bits of importance:


 * When a character only appears in, say, two issues out of a five-issue comic story arc, you cite the story arc, not the issue. You only cite the issue if it is a single-issue story (like Star Wars Republic 49: Sacrifice).


 * Headers: only capitalize the first word and any other proper nouns. "Behind the scenes", NOT "Behind the Scenes." "External links," NOT "External Links." And speaking of that, it is always called "External links," even if there is only one link.


 * Pay attention to the order of the sections. "See also" goes after "Sources" and before "External links."


 * Categories should always be alphabetized.


 * When citing sources, all you need to put is the title in italics. Author, publisher, and year are not necessary.

And lastly: this one isn't in the Layout Guide, and it shouldn't have to be pointed out, but I'm afraid I must. Folks, there are two E's in "Wookiee." It's in the name of the website and it's plastered all over every page. I don't know how anybody can miss this one, but they do; I corrected a handful of articles just today. Please, people, think of the Wookiees. ;-)
