Editing Policy
Basics
- While editing articles, please use American-English language (apologies to those that use British English).
- It is much preferred that second and third-person points-of-view are used within articles.
Linking
- To prevent over-linking, please only link to a page once under a heading.
- In source editor, ensure that plural word-links are used as following to reduce page size:
[[Barbarian]]s
- rather than
[[Barbarian|Barbarians]]
Shortening links
- Remember to use the {{H}}, {{B}} and {{C}} templates to link to pages ending in "/Home Village", "/Builder Base" or "/Clan Capital" respectively to reduce page size:
{{H|Cannon}}- rather than
[[Cannon/Home Village|Cannon]]
- Use the {{MagicItem}} template when linking to a specific magic item:
{{MagicItem|Training Potion}}- rather than
[[Magic Items/List#Training Potion]]
Organization
- The order of common sections in articles should follow this format:
- Summary Heading
- Strategies Heading
- Offensive Strategies Subheading
- Defensive Strategies Subheading
- Upgrade Differences Heading
- (Statistics section)
- (Related Achievements and other statistics, if desired)
- Sounds (optional)
- History Heading
- Gallery Heading
- Trivia Heading
- General Subheading (optional)
- Comparisons Subheading (optional)
- References Heading
- (Navigation templates)
Media Placement
- Please avoid adding images under certain headings, such as under summary, strategy and trivia headings unless they are used in context of a point made within them.
- Do not place images already in the upgrade differences section that is near the top of the page in galleries.
Spoilers
- Articles about upcoming content should be marked with the Spoiler template. This can be done as seen below. Do note any existing articles should not contain upcoming content.
{{Spoiler}}
Time and Date
- For the best clarity, always use this format when using a date within in an article:
<month- name> <day- numeral>, <year>
- For example:
August 2, 2012
