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.
• Befriended Yo-kai: This is only for characters who appear in the anime and not for characters who appear in the game. As that the anime follows track of which Yo-kai the protagonist or any other characters befriending with.
• Voice actors: This section should be created with a special template created directly from the administrator. This list shows what voice actor or actress voicing the characters in animation or game series.
• Etymology: This section is to break down the meaning of the characters name.
• Trivia: This contains trivial information that cannot be filled in the article.
• In other languages: Use the template language to add names of the characters in different languages.

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.
