I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense Wiki:Wikia Rules and Guidelines

Right now, we need to sit down and build up a foundation for the wiki.

Moving Forward
With the conclusion of the first season of BOFURI, we can now begin sorting out the wiki.

Primary Source
What will we use as the fandom-wiki's primary source? The importance of a primary source allows for the better development of pages.

Example: We say in the source a lot, where source is either anime, manga, light novel, or web novel. This would remove 1 of them and the need for the others would continue. Keep in mine, if it branches over all or most of the sources, the in the source part isn't important.

The anime ruins the other sources a lot in various ways.
 * Many of the events and growth of the story are thrown out entirely because the events included in the 12 episode season 1 we received plus everything missing could have easily spread across more than 28 episodes of content without forcefully stretching the content or adding filler.
 * Rather than respecting the original content, it feels like they're trying to reference as many other series as they can because several things have been changed. One of the simplest examples is the development group are actually inside a room talking, not in some obscure animal forms that make you think about Madoka Magica. Many battles are changed a bit to make them different from the original sources and some skills even have differences.
 * Romanticizes the series. Syrup clearly has emotions of a living creature in the anime. Romanticizing the series turns it into something its not. Furthermore, it leads to false conclusions. The anime gives me the impression it could be related to another world. After I read a little into the web novel, this impression was instantly destroyed.

Plot
When we decide the theme source, we can determine the plot. Many series order plots by major events and include the minor events leading up to them as Arcs.

We will need to decide the arcs since it's just a bunch of girls (and some guys) having fun playing a game.

See the Page Layout section for more details.

Page Layouts
We need to decide what we put on what kind of pages, some general order, and their details.

I feel Appearance, Personality, and Description could be merged into just "Description". What do you all think?

What do we put in History and Plot? Is History just events before the series? If we include events during the series, Plot feels like it would be included. What do we put in plot then? Should we move plot to their own separate pages? [insert confusion]

How do we handle Relationships? I believe relationships are about connections and they should be known. Several pages have had characters added to each other merely because they're in the same guild.

Mai and Yui were added to Maple's and I don't doubt that a friendship could have been built. Mai and Yui are explicitly stated to see Maple as a big sister and that's why she was added to their Relationships. Maple however has not openly called them her friends and scouted them as guild members. Originally, she just wanted them to not regret their Min-Max strength build. There were no open statements of friendship from what I remember.

How about the other members of congregation of holy swords being added to Drag's list? His trust for Frederica was stated and stood out so adding her was a must but the others are just there.

How much is excessive linking?
I don't know how much is too much but this is an example of how terrible I've seen it. This isn't the exact text, but with how many times I've repeated Maple, Payne, and Event, the number of repetitions of the same links match up.

Maple earned third place in the 1st event. Payne earned first place in the 1st event. Maple could easily crush Payne during the first event but she knew she was too slow. Payne didn't know about Maple so he didn't try to kill her, saving himself from making Maple first place of the 1st event.

Text Formatting
How do we format our text?

For example, skills? I'm not talking about the skills from the Abilities section where they're lined up in bullets but instead when they're in the middle of paragraphs from history/plot/etc. I was doing them italicized but should we continue that or correct it?

What else do we need?
Add it here and lets discuss.
