The Dragon Prince Wiki is free to edit for anyone, as long as all guidelines are followed. Do not be afraid to dive in when you see a grammar and/or spelling mistake, and do not hesitate to provide sourced, official content if you find it missing. Our wiki is usually up to date and edited by many users, so communication before editing is valued. If you do have a suggestion for an addition to the wiki, comment in the forum or leave a civil comment on our staffs' pages, so it can be discussed with the community. Our staff will try to find an agreement, however, please respect their final decision if they decline your suggestion. Please note that all regular editors are treated alike and general wiki experience will not give you any privilege, regardless of your history.
If not followed, expect a reminder to study the policies once more, or light consequences if purposefully ignored.
If not followed, expect immediate and severe consequences if first warning is purposefully ignored.
Frequently asked questions we encountered.
New pagesOnly create pages for content that has enough info to be covered in its own page and is within the universe of The Dragon Prince. Near empty pages are discouraged. Before adding a new page on our wiki, ask yourself: Is the page adding valuable information to the wiki or is the information redundant or a copy of another article? Please only add pages that are necessary to improve our content. If you have a suggestion to add a page, please leave a comment. If the topic does not have info to fill out its on page, it will be included on an existing page. WritingPlease use proper grammar and spelling in all articles and try to at least use a level of punctuation in comments, so they are easier to read. Keep an eye on what tense a page text is using. Instead of shortening phrases like "don't", use "do not". ImagesPlease follow our image policy when uploading files. Fanart is not allowed due to copyright issues. CategoriesCategories are usually added by the staff, meaning that most of the time all needed categories are provided. If you do, however, have a suggestion that would improve locating content, feel free to leave a suggestion. Please only add a category that is essential to finding content and has enough pages to support creating a category to go into. Duplicated categories with a different name usually get deleted (i.e. adding "animals" when "fauna" exists). All pages, with exception of the subpages, should be linked with the "A to Z" category. Several pages on our wiki include auto-categories, which means a template adds the category for you without having to add it manually. To determine which categories are automatically added, take a look at what categories show up in your publishing preview before adding them manually. StubsSome of our pages will be marked with a {{Stub}} template, indicating information is missing. Adding information is appreciated, however, please only add information if official information is available.
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 removed 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 {{Cite}} at the end of the sentence or paragraph in doubt. In order to successfully add a reference to your edit, use the following code: <ref>[urlhere Name of the reference]</ref> <ref>[[wiki article]]</ref> <ref name="Example">Example</ref> <--- first use of the ref <ref name="Example"/> <--- reappearing link All pages need a reflist to cite sources, which will be placed at the bottom of a page. ==References== {{Scrollbox| {{Reflist|2}} }} Episode references should be written as [[Echoes of Thunder|Book One, Chapter 1:"Echoes of Thunder"]] References using ref names should be using actual words instead of numbers for easy navigation. <ref name="Spell">[[Callum's Spellbook]]</ref> <--- correct <ref name=":0">[[Callum's Spellbook]]</ref> <--- avoid this! |
