WikiText style
- Things like
[[Vocaloid|Vocaloid]]
and[[Vocaloid|VOCALOID]]
are pointless, only[[VOCALOID]]
should be used.- This also applies to links written to denote a plural: don't write the link as
[[song|songs]]
; instead use[[song]]s
.
- This also applies to links written to denote a plural: don't write the link as
- Don't bypass redirects using things like
[[Voice provider#Saki FujitaSaki Fujita]]
make use of the redirect properly with[[Saki Fujita]]
. - Do not use level 5 headings in articles, as they cannot be edited without editing the previous heading and can't be distinguished as a heading at all.
- When using galleries, include
hideaddbutton=true
in the parameters of<gallery>
: this prevents violations of the Image guidelines by the addition of bad images.
