[edit] Uploading and Inserting Images

• To upload an image, use the Upload link in the toolbox to go to the Upload page. You will need to be logged in before uploading files.
• Please limit album covers to 300px x 300px at most.
• To include the image in a page, add a link in the form [[Image:*file.jpg*|right|frame|*caption*]] before the title of the article (replacing *file.jpg* and *caption* with the appropriate labels).
• See Wikimedia article on inserting images for more advanced options for working with images.

[edit] Editing pages

• To edit a page, click on the "Edit" tab above the article. If you have created an account, check your preferences for other edit options.
• To rename a page, click on the "Move" tab and give the article a new name.

[edit] Conventions

Important Conventions

• Pages for Japanese names should be redirected to their Romanji counterparts so information is not duplicated on the site using

  #REDIRECT [[name]]

• Romanized Japanese names on this site appear in Japanese-style with LastName FirstName.
• When rendering Japanese into Romanji, use the Modified Hepburn style with Wapuro Romanji-style long consonants:

Good-practice Conventions

• Check the "this is a minor edit" box if the purpose of the edit was to clean up the page rather than add or edit content.
• When leaving a message on someone's talk page or a comment in a discussion, please add a signature by leaving four tildes (~~~~)

[edit] Inter-wiki linking

To link to other wikis easily, you can use the format

[[wikiprefix:article_name | link text]]

wikiprefixes:

• wikipedia = http://www.wikipedia.org (Wikipedia in English)
• wikipediaja = http://ja.wikipedia.org (Wikipedia in Japanese)

To request other shortcuts, please leave me a note.
