This is a general guide on how to edit and format on the wiki. Anyone is welcome to edit this wiki! But before you do so, please read this page on how to edit, and when certain edits are appropriate.
Editing
Note: All edits MUST follow the wiki's rules (and fandom ToS).
When making an edit, please ensure that your edit checks off the following requirements:
- Your edit follows the wiki's rules (and Fandom ToS)
- Your edit is in English.
- Your edit is properly spelled, and proper punctuation and grammar are used.
- The code on the page functions properly and the page is displayed under “preview” without error.
- That images in your edit follow the Image Guidelines.
- You are not plagiarizing. Click here for our plagiarism guidelines.
- If you're creating a page, your page's title is properly capitalized according to Title Case. If you are uncertain, use this website and it will automatically convert it for you.
- Additionally, your new page is properly categorized. Please click here for categories.
- Any information added should ideally have a source. For example, if you saw Wakako Masuda on twitter saying Popee likes apples, and you wanted to add that to the Popee article, you could do so but would need to properly cite the tweet that specifically referenced this piece of information. The Wiki's guide to using references as a feature of Fandom is accessible at Guide: References. The template for a missing citation/reference/source, to be added later, is Template:Missing Citation.
- Unsourced information from new users that have not made past edits in good standing will be removed if sources cannot be identified.
There is an "edit" button available under the navigation bar on the top right of every article (not including locked articles).
The Community Central page for contributing (Help:Contributing) has all the information you'll need on learning how to contribute to the wiki. For more in-depth information on how to use the visual and/or source editors, please refer to fandom's official help page. But we will explain some basic functions of the editor below, as well as when to use them.
A note about Fandom: Fandom and other MediaWiki based websites (including Wikipedia) rely on the markup language known as Wikitext. Fandom's community help page on Wikitext says the following:
Wikitext is the main markup language used to format content on Fandom. It can be used to add photos, tables, bold styles, links, and many other visual changes.
For more on Wikitext, the Wikipedia article for Wikitext is also helpful.
Wikitext is generally used most often on this wiki within infoboxes and also within galleries and for image captions.
Something to keep in mind when editing is that, as a wiki, the contents of the articles are not opinions—they're meant to state fact. The exception to this is when discussing or mentioning fan responses, i.e. "while part of the fandom thinks [...], another part thinks [...]". Editors should try to stay objective.
Please note that this article is generally written to explain how things function on a desktop computer and do not include how to use the mobile editor. Despite this, certain functions may be more or less the same when editing on mobile.

New pages have different ways they should be formatted depending on the contents. Regardless of content, all pages should remain left-aligned (the default).
Infoboxes, and when to use them
Infoboxes are containers that vital information is displayed in, such as a character's name, age, height, weight, etc. When editing, infoboxes are a template that can be inserted into the article and edited to display information.
Infoboxes should always be used for the following purposes:
- Character pages
- Book pages
- Series pages
- Episode pages
- Media pages (CDs, DVDs)
- Merchandise pages
Pages that don't have vital statistics or information regarding the contents of the article do not need an infobox.
