Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki:General content policy

Effective date: 11

This page is an official policy regarding article content in general. For the general content guidelines, see here.

Neutral point of view
Information on Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki is meant to be written from a neutral point of view, this means no opinions.

Canon perspective
Fan-created (sometimes known as "Fanon") content is not canon and, for the most part, is not accepted on Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki. In addition, fan-created theories or speculations aren't canon. Overall, fan-created content should not go on the wiki. For the purpose of gathering fan-made ideas and content of anything, including the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise, the Fanon Wiki was created.

General

 * Articles must belong to as many categories as makes sense. The deepest category in a tree is preferred; for instance, if Rowley Jefferson is a boy, use Category:Male characters, instead of Category:Characters.
 * For subjects whose name's capitalization is ambiguous, try to follow the general content guidelines. However, at the very least, the subject's word must always start with an uppercase letter.

Headings
In all headings, including page titles and sections, only s should be capitalized. However, keep in mind that the first letter in a heading will always be capitalized automatically by MediaWiki. The only formatting allowed on headers is italics, which should be used like they would in body text.

Trivia
Trivia is subjective what some people consider a fun fact is a just normal information for others. However, unlike, this wiki allows "trivia" sections, as long as the information is:


 * Noteworthy boring or common pieces of information aren't very interesting to have around, and likely fit in the article's body.
 * Short in order to be considered a tidbit, it should be possible to explain it in one to three sentences. Anything with a lot of detail is better explained in its own section.
 * Isolated trivia facts should be unattached to most other parts of the subject. If a fact is related to an existing section of information in the article, it likely belongs there.

The did you know section of the main page is not directly related to trivia sections, instead of listing interesting facts that newcomers to the series might not know.
