View source for Help:Style guide/Organization Pages

(WIP)

Organization pages are for groups that multiple characters belong to in canon. If a section has no relevant information for the organization, it should be omitted completely from the article. However, the following are required for each organization page:
* Infobox
* Introductory sentence
* Biography
* Members
* Appearances
* Page categories
=Page Contents=

==Intro==
Start with this basic introductory sentence:
'''Name''' is a group of characters from ''Name of series''.

==Infobox==
Fill out the infobox template <nowiki>{{Org Infobox}}</nowiki>. Use only the fields relevant to the organization--if anything does NOT apply, leave it blank.
<pre>{{Org Infobox
|subj=Organization Name
|img=Picture of organization
|imgcaption=Specification 
|ja_kanji=Organization's name in Japanese text
|altspelling=Alternate spellings used
|aka=Other names the organization is known by
|founder=The founder of the organization, if known
|leader=The leader of the organization, if known
|purpose=What the organization does
|notable=Notable characters who are members
|first=First appearance

|firstmanga=First manga continuity appearance
|lastmanga=Last manga continuity appearance
|firstanime=First anime continuity appearance
|lastanime=Last anime continuity appearance
|firststampede=First Stampede continiutiy appearance
|laststampede=Last Stampede continuity appearance
}}</pre>
===Requirements===
Required fields are:
* subj|Organization name
* first|First appearance
* last|Last appearance (may be omitted if character only appears once)
===First & Last Appearances===
For the first & last appearance fields, use the |first & |last fields '''UNLESS''' the organization appears in multiple continuities. Organizations that appear in the early manga chapters and 1998 anime and have shared pages are most likely to require the |firstmanga, |lastmanga, |firstanime, and |lastanime fields. 

==Biography==
This section is for explaining the organization's and it's members' story. This should be written in third person and in past tense. Use the <nowiki>{{Storylink}}</nowiki> template to add citations in the text of this section.

==Members==
This section is for listing all known characters who belong to the organization. 
===Major Characters===
If a member has their own page, link it as the subheader and only give a brief description of their role in the organization.
===Minor Characters===
Minor characters should be given small bios, treated as a mini character page. Use <nowiki>{{Character Info}}</nowiki> under each character's header. The "Affiliation" field can be omitted as can the first/last appearances if they are the same as the rest of the organization's.
====Appearance====
Give a description of the character's appearance.
====Weapon====
If the character uses a unique weapon, include it here.

==Weapons==
Describe any weapons all characters in this organization use. If each character uses different weapons, do not use this section.

==Vehicles==
If this organization has/uses a notable vehicle, use this section.
===Vehicle===
Each specific vehicle should be described under a subheader.

==Non-Canon==
This section is for any appearances the organization and its characters have made in an official work, but is not part of the canon. Examples of this include audio dramas, toy bios, and the guest comics in the Multiple Bullets anthology.
''NOTE'': Do not include fanon in this section!

==Development==
This section is for noting behind-the-scenes type information, such as interviews talking about the creation of the organization and its characters.

==Gallery==
This section is for images.

==Notes==
This section is for notes, trivia, and miscellaneous information. 

==Appearances==
This section is for listing all appearances of the organizations. 
===Series===
Each specific series should have a subheader.
* Each chapter/episode in this series should be listed in a bullet list.

===for 1998 anime only===
Divide into Episodes/Opening Credits/Preview Only if relevant.

==References==
The citations will create a list of references in this section.

==Categories==
The page should be placed in the "Characters" and "Organizations" categories along with any other relevant ones, such as the series and continuities they belong in.

=Other=
===Disambiguations===
If an organization has a counterpart in another continuity or shares their name with another page, add the <nowiki>{{Disambig}}</nowiki> template to the top of the page to create a link to the disambiguation page.

===Images===
Relevant images may be placed outside of the gallery section to complement article text.
