== Basic Guidelines == | |||
* Articles should be written in third person. | |||
* Articles should be written with a more formal/professional tone. Please refrain from goofing and meme-ing. | |||
* Articles should be written to convey information about the series and only information. Please refrain from inserting your opinions, theories, headcanons, etc. or letting them influence your writing. | |||
* Synopsis sections should be written in present tense. | |||
* Use the discussion pages to leave notes about what needs to be worked on/added in the article instead of on the article page itself. | |||
* Please briefly note what changes were made in the "Summary" area of editor whenever editing a page. | |||

*** Example: [[Wolfwood]] | |||
** Disambiguation pages should be titled: "Page subject (disambiguation)" | |||
*** Example: [[Wolfwood (disambiguation)]] | |||

== Sources == | |||
* Use citations & link your references please! We want to make sure our information is as accurate as possible. | |||
=== Best Sources: === | |||
==== For Canon Information: ==== | |||
* The actual anime episodes/movie and manga chapters. | |||
** For English translations of Trigun (manga) and Trigun Maximum, refer only to the Overhaul (preferred) and Dark Horse official translations. | |||
==== For Credits: ==== | |||
* Credits included in the actual anime/chapters/magazines/books/album liners/merchandise packaging/etc. | |||
** Anime News Network typically includes lists of all the credits, though they should be double checked against the actual show credits. | |||
==== Other information: ==== | |||
* Interviews with people who worked on the series. | |||
* Official websites for the series; companies involved in producing/distributing the series; venues/events/conventions where series-related events (panels, screenings, interviews, gallery shows, etc.) were hosted. | |||
** Use the Wayback Machine to find archived versions of these sites if they are no longer online. | |||
* The Trigun Anime Art Book & Trigun Archives book. Both of these books are primarily in Japanese, so only use information you actually are able to read/reliably translate! | |||
* "Monthly Satellite Times" inserts from the Japanese Laserdisc & VHS releases. As these are in Japanese, only use information you can reliably translate. | |||
=== Iffy Sources: === | |||
* Wikipedia | |||
** Check the References sections and use those sources instead. | |||
** DO NOT use uncited information used in their articles. | |||
* The BESM/D20 Trigun Fan Guides. Best used as a starting point for research. There are multiple errors in these guides. Notable errors can be pointed out in the Notes section of a page. | |||
* Magazine articles. These can range in quality/accuracy so use discretion. | |||
* Print advertisements/promos. These may contain outdated or inaccurate information if changes were made after printing the ad. | |||
=== Do Not Use: === | |||
* The Fandom Trigun Wiki, as there is a lot of blatantly incorrect information, presented without sources. Additionally, Fandom has recently implemented an AI feature that is giving incorrect information. As it stands now, this is NOT a trustworthy source. | |||
** In addition, we do not want to steal work done by others. We are unaffiliated with the Fandom Trigun wiki. | |||
* The old Trigun Maximum "Maximum7" English fan translation. | |||
* The gameplay related sections of the of the BESM/D20 Trigun Fan Guides. | |||
* Fanon/fan theories/fan terminology. If it didn't originate from an official source that can be cited, do NOT use it! | |||
==Images== | |||
Please try and add the following information, if known, when uploading an image: | |||
* Source where an image was found. | |||
* For anime screenshots, add the series, episode name, and the release the screenshot was taken from. | |||
* For manga panels, add the series, chapter number, page number, and release the panel was taken from. | |||
* For scans, add the name of the release it was scanned from and credit who did the scan, if known. | |||
* If any edits were made to the image, state what they were (i.e. cropped, stitched screenshots, removed background). | |||
* Keep the image sizes smaller, as the wiki code has errors generating thumbnails for images with large dimensions. For best results, keep the dimensions below 3000px. | |||
=== Do Not Use: === | |||
* Fanart. | |||
