# If you are creating a new page, make sure to categorize it. You can learn the categories by browsing [[User:Iritscen/CategoryTree|the plan behind the categories]], or [[Site Map|the actual category tree]]. The same goes for images that you upload (the category is placed in the Summary box when uploading, but can be added later by editing the image page if you forgot during the upload process). The category should be the <u>very last</u> thing in the wiki markup, not at the top or in the middle. If you need an illustration, click "Edit" at the top of this page to see how the category has been applied in this page's markup. | # If you are creating a new page, make sure to categorize it.

# When communicating on a talk page, sign your edits with the signature button ([[Image:Signature button.jpg|32px]]) so that we know who said what, and at what time. Also, unlike Wikipedia, we prefer to hold back-and-forth dialogue on a single page, wherever the conversation started, rather than each user leaving a response on the talk page of the other conversant, which makes for an unreadable conversation later on. | # When communicating on a talk page, sign your edits with the signature button ([[Image:Signature button.jpg|32px]]) so that we know who said what, and at what time.

# When creating a page or new section, name it clearly, not with abbreviations; but remember that we will have to type these names later on when we want to link to these pages/sections (ergo, don't use section names like [[Special:Permalink/21801|this]], ''ever''). Sometimes a long page name may be necessary, in which case a redirect page can be used to link to it instead (as is done {{noredirect|Dat|here}}). Page names should have the first letter capitalized, but not the rest of the name unless it is a proper noun like [[TCTF Science Prison]] (deliberate exceptions were made for [[Main Page]] and [[Site Map]] because they are Very Important Pages). Clear image names are especially important to us. Good example: [[:Image:Guido - Hikari closeup.jpg| | # When creating a page or new section, name it clearly, not with abbreviations; but remember that we will have to type these names later on when we want to link to these pages/sections (ergo, don't use section names like [[Special:Permalink/21801|this]], ''ever'').

You should also place some kind of description in the Summary box if the file is not totally self-explanatory. | ||
