Article structure is an ever-evolving process here on Sidekick Wiki. This will cover the basics on making neat articles and article style. Articles that do not meet these requirements will be marked for cleanup.
General
- Articles should use proper spelling, language structure and punctuation. This means text that incorporates Wingdings font, emojis and other illegible text should not be put in an article.
- Articles should use English.
- Articles should be written from a neutral point of view. Pointing out features of the topic of the article is encouraged, but using sentences such as "this robot is one of the worst ones because..." is not.
- Images should be placed with a suitable size that "fits in" with the article. For example, placing a very large image that gets in the way of the text would not be acceptable.
Categories
Categories should be clear, concise to the point when they are unambiguous and fit with previously added categories. When making new categories, try to have good judgement on what categories should exist. Categories shouldn't be added for every single aspect of an article or brief events unless it's significant.
Trivia
Trivia should and always be significant and interesting facts about the article that may not be apparent, cultural references or behind-the-scenes information.
What trivia is not:
- Trivia is not obvious facts.
- Trivia is not fan-fiction.
- Trivia is not "Eric returns in this episode" and et cetera.
- Trivia is not "This character has similarities to <place character(s) with a similar personality from another show here>" and such.
