Templates should only be created by the administrators of the wiki. If an administrator creates a template and another administrator edits it, please leave a message to the administrator who've created it to keep them informated. For contributors, if they have a suggestion for a template please leave a message to a staff member or the founder of the wiki. This is due to the standards of style the wiki follows and contributors create templates that are not well in line with the style of the wiki. Also, the templates will be locked instantly after creation. If a contributor do create a template on the wiki, they will receive a warning. If they continue so after, they receive two more warnings and lead to their block from editing the wiki.
Character articles should not be created as a standard anime wiki from wikia, as they must be written in an original fashion. Thus, this is how their layout should look like before you create one.
* '''Their respective infobox''': The article must always start with their respectful infobox and not a random one. Under the section [[policy:quality standards#templates|templates]] you will learn how to put infoboxes correctly.
* '''Opening line''': The article must always start with their opening line by using the [[:template:translation|translation template]] first. An example on how to write an opening line is: {{translation|'''KidProdigy'''|キッド天才|Kiddo Tensai}} is the founder of [[project:about|{{SITENAME}}]].
* '''Analysis''': The same way as how the Yo-kai's behavior, appearance, abilities should be included. Do not seperate the character article's header by appearance, personality, power and abilities. Put them all under analysis.
* '''Story''': This section contains the story of the character under different sub-headers. Game characters should have game titles as sub-header in a very organized and structured manner and anime characters should have no sub-header as their announcements goes through the episodes.

== Categories ==
* Characters that appear in the anime should have '''(anime)''' next to the name when the article is created. This is to seperate game characters and anime characters because they do not follow the same story. However, if an game character has low information, and the anime character as well if they are the same character, they can be combined as one article. Any major game character should have '''(game)''' next to their name when their article is created.
When creating categories, do come with a more professional and accurate line and give it an accurate main category. The contributor must not add a standard line such as "Humans in Yo-kai Watch", but "This category contains a list of characters that debuted in the ''Yo-kai Watch'' franchise.", this sounds better than something generic and lazy written. Most Yo-kai have categories for their images, but due to contributors adding random images inside the category, it is strongely suggested that those categories should be created by the administrators and not by the contributors. If the contributor add categories for the Yo-kai, they will receive a warning. If they continue their actions after the first warning, they will receive two more warnings and lead to their block from editing the wiki.
* Do not use '''EP''' as article link through the anime characters. Do place an official title in which the character appear in. If there is an usage of '''EP''', the entire section will be removed from the article. Also, any headers and links that contains '''M''' (as in movie) will also be removed from the article. Give it their original name even if the title is long or not dubbed yet.

Categories for templates should be done by the administrators with the main category [[:category:Templates|templates]] to keep them all organized. If a contributor adds a category for the template, they will receive a warning for mixing up the category's harmony and will receive two more warnings if they keep going with their actions. If they ignore the two warnings as well they will get banned from the wiki.

Editing articles

Character articles

Character articles should not be created as a standard anime wiki from wikia, as they must be written in an original fashion. Thus, this is how their layout should look like before you create one.

  • Their respective infobox: The article must always start with their respectful infobox and not a random one. Under the section templates you will learn how to put infoboxes correctly.
  • Opening line: The article must always start with their opening line by using the translation template first. An example on how to write an opening line is: KidProdigy (キッド天才 Kiddo Tensai) is the founder of Yo-kai Watch Encyclopedia.
  • Analysis: The same way as how the Yo-kai's behavior, appearance, abilities should be included. Do not seperate the character article's header by appearance, personality, power and abilities. Put them all under analysis.
  • Story: This section contains the story of the character under different sub-headers. Game characters should have game titles as sub-header in a very organized and structured manner and anime characters should have no sub-header as their announcements goes through the episodes.

Note:

  • Characters that appear in the anime should have (anime) next to the name when the article is created. This is to seperate game characters and anime characters because they do not follow the same story. However, if an game character has low information, and the anime character as well if they are the same character, they can be combined as one article. Any major game character should have (game) next to their name when their article is created.
  • Do not use EP as article link through the anime characters. Do place an official title in which the character appear in. If there is an usage of EP, the entire section will be removed from the article. Also, any headers and links that contains M (as in movie) will also be removed from the article. Give it their original name even if the title is long or not dubbed yet.
