The following details the formatting for particular pages on the wiki.
All page guidelines[]
- Whenever a name is written and the name has not been written before on that page, it should be linked, like this: [[ACMSES Wiki]], thus leading to ACMSES Wiki.
- Whenever a name has already been written once on that page, do not link it.
- Whenever you drop a name that is supposed to have a page but doesn't actually have one, let it be a redlink by linking it as if it existed ([[Redlink]], thus resulting in Redlink). Do not allow the link to remain blue by using the [http://acmses.wikia.com/index.php?title=Redlink&action=edit&redlink=1 Redlink] format (resulting in Redlink).
- Whenever linking a name that is not the full name that is the page title, do not rely on redirects. Always remember to link to the actual page and to pothole it with the name you want using [[Actual page name|the text being used]]. For example, "Tash", if linked, should always be potholed to Natasha Marquand. You would thus type [[Natasha Marquand|Tash]], thus leading to Tash.
- Whenever linking to Wikipedia, remember to use the easy-link: [[wikipedia:Page Name]]. Always remember to pothole the link as such: [[wikipedia:Page Name|Page Name]], otherwise the "wikipedia:" text will show up. If I wanted to link the page "Mary Sue" on Wikipedia, the link would be [[wikipedia:Mary Sue|Mary Sue]], thus leading to Mary Sue.
- Whenever linking to another wikia, use the easy-link: [[w:c:wiki name:Page Name|Pothole]]. So if I wanted to link to the page "Archer (Fate/stay night)" under the name "Archer" on the TYPE-MOON Wiki, I would type [[w:c:typemoon:Archer (Fate/stay night)|Archer]], thus resulting in Archer.
- Whenever linking to an outside website, use the linking format: [http://www.yoursitehere.com/ Pothole]. So if I wanted to link FanFiction.net, I'd use [http://www.fanfiction.net FanFiction.net], thus resulting in FanFiction.net.
- Templates are your friends. If you don't know how to use a template copy-paste from a page that has one and fill in the blanks.
- Please use proper grammar/spelling; also, be detailed in your writing.
