|Article layouts are to a large extent standardized on our wiki and should generally not be altered, as they are following a community-decided layout serving continuity. It is mandatory to follow our layouts when adding new pages fully, '''not partially'''. If you do not have the editing knowledge to add the layout, please refrain from creating pages and seek help inside the community instead.

Pages in our wiki are mostly written in universe, meaning rather than writing "In book one, [[Rayla]] admitted she can not swim", it should be "During the group's trip on the river, Rayla admitted she can not swim.", then link the respective episode as reference behind the sentence. Info pages such as the main article of our wiki, fauna pages, location, media pages, and trivia may include content that is written as a fact rather than being phrased in universe, serving the purpose of informing beyond internal sources.

All existing sections on our wiki follow either present tense or past tense. Take a look at existing pages to determine which tense applies for a page, or look below for further guidance. Basic rule of thumb: If an event has passed, you can safely assume it should be mentioned in past tense (excluding episode summaries).
{{HeaderLeft|Tabs}}
Tabs are mandatory for navigation on every page and go on top of all created pages.
<pre>{{TabC}} = Character Information
{{TabH}} = Character History
{{TabR}} = Character Relationships
{{TabG}} = Character Gallery</pre>

For manual tabs that are not pre-coded, use:
<pre>{{Tabs|
{{Tabs/Active|Information}}
{{Tabs/Inactive|Gallery}}}}</pre>
<br/>
{{HeaderLeft|Stubs}}
Some of our pages will be marked with a <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> template, indicating information is missing and can be improved. This template goes between the Tab and CharacterBox template, or just below the Tab template on other pages. The template can be removed as soon as the page is filled with a satisfying amount of information.

{{HeaderLeft|Sourcing Content}}
Content that is posted on our Wiki articles must be verifiable. In other words, all information on this site must be able to be supported by a reliable, published source. Content without source will either be reviewed and removed by staff to avoid spreading misinformation, or the editor will be asked where the information was gathered. If you stumble across an unsourced piece of information, please add a <nowiki>{{Cite}}</nowiki> at the end of the sentence or paragraph in doubt.

In order to successfully add a reference to your edit, use the following code:
<pre><ref>[urlhere Name of the reference]</ref></pre>

References to episodes should be spelled in the following way:
<pre><ref>[[Echoes of Thunder|Book One, Chapter 1: "Echoes of Thunder"]]</ref></pre>

All pages need a reflist to cite sources, which will be placed at the bottom of a page.

{{HeaderLeft|Character Information}}
When it comes to the character pages, the text starts directly after the CharacterBox template as displayed below. Categories such as "Male/Female", "Characters", "Humans", "Elves", "Dragons", and "Deceased" will be added automatically once the section is filled out in the template. Please add category "[[:Category:A to Z|A to Z]]" to every created page, with exclusion of subpages.

*Do not put any spaces between template and text, as the text will no longer align with the box.
*Only official relatives go into the "Relatives" section. This excludes unmarried lovers, pets, and foster parents.
*Occupation translates to a profession and excludes things such as "prisoner" or "fugitive".
*Voice actors should be linked back to their respective [https://www.imdb.com/ imdb] pages.
*Trivia may include the heritage of a character's name, regardless of direct relation to the series or not. This serves purpose of satisfying potential curiosity regarding a favorite character's name meaning.
*Personality texts should be kept short where possible and only focus on character traits.

{{HeaderLeft|Episode Galleries}}
Episode galleries remain locked to avoid the addition of images that do not show key scenes of the episode. These key screenshots are counting 8-9 screenshots which are usually added by our staff, which make it easy to identify which episode is looked at. The second gallery includes credit images of the episode while their trivia can be found on the respective episode page. The page also includes navigation buttons to go back and forth between each episode, as well as a gallery navigation provided at the bottom.
