Wiki:Original Content Rules and Guidelines

From Moeverse Wiki

This page presents Rules and Guidelines for Original Content on the Moeverse Wikis.

Moeverse Wikis allowing Original Content

  • The Present Moeverse Wiki itself is meant for Original Content, with the conditions explained in the Admissible Articles page;
  • OS-tans.moe allows making pages about your own Moe Personifications of an Operating System;
  • Gijinkas.moe allows making pages about your own Moe Personifications.

Original Character Article Titles

Pages about Original Characters should be titled with how the character is normally identified in-universe in a neutral way (not a specific nickname by a close friend for example). If it exists in the story, the Surname must be included.

If several characters share the same name, the first entry may keep the title as is, while subsequent entries must have the Universe Name in parentheses appended (this must otherwise not be done by default, unless the character is a clear derivative of an existing identically named one). If no Universe is associated to the Character, then the User Name can be used instead of the Universe's.

OS-tans.moe Specific Rules

  • The format "Personified Thing (Universe)", "Personified Thing-tan/kun (Universe)" or similar, may be used instead. The unused title may be redirected to the other one;
  • In some cases, even the first entry may have to append the User or Universe Name. For example, if several people create a character named "Lisa", they should all do it, while the "Lisa" page would be a disambiguation page because the the Lisa OS is notable.

Subpages

The MediaWiki Subpages feature (not to be confused with Categories) should be used when making pages to organize or develop your Original Universe. For example, instead of having the following titles,

  • Introduction to My Awesome Fanon
  • My Awesome Fanon's Character List
  • My Awesome Fanon's Lore

You would have:

  • My Awesome Fanon/Introduction
  • My Awesome Fanon/Character List
  • My Awesome Fanon/Lore

This effectively makes three pages (Introduction, Character List, Lore), that are subpages of "My Awesome Fanon" instead of belonging nowhere. In these subpages, there will be a link to the parent page at the top.

When linking to these pages, you can do something like 

* [[My Awesome Fanon/Introduction|Introduction to My Awesome Fanon]]
* [[My Awesome Fanon/Character List|My Awesome Fanon's Character List]]
* [[My Awesome Fanon/Lore|My Awesome Fanon's Lore]]

Subpages may be appropriate in other cases, like making galleries for each of your characters. Feel free to make use of the feature if it is appropriate.

Where to not use Subpages

Pages that are about a specific thing like a character, place or event should not be subpages. Examples:

  • Mona, not Mona's Museum/Mona
  • Kareji College, not Windows Never Released Universe/Kareji College
  • Epic ass money loss incident, not very troubl'd winbows, macks & lintux/Epic ass money loss incident

In case of a naming collision, follow the rules for the character titles (add your User or Universe Name in parentheses).
