General article guidelines
Article prose
Article prose should be written in accurate English. Please proofread your text before finishing an article... we all make typos! In addition, please limit your use of slang wherever possible. Put in another way, please use the most general terms to ensure that all readers understand what you are talking about. Please use third person and make sure that no content is opinionated. For example, in a personality section, do not write "I think [character] is mean". If a character is canonically mean, try something like "[Character] is known for their rude personality, such as when they called another character ugly." Then cite the episode where this occured!
Citations
General things taken from the webtoon do not need to be cited, such as the appearance of a character. However, when in doubt... cite! Cite personality traits, plot points, history sections, etc. with the corresponding link to the episode you got the information from. This is very important, as it allows readers to fact check something they might disagree with.
- Citing episodes
Most information should come from the webtoon. Cite an episode in the Source Editor by typing the following:
<ref>[[Episode [number]]]</ref>
- Citing external sources
If you pulled information from a source other than the webtoon, please cite in the Source Editor by typing the following:
<ref>[Link to website Article title - Website Name]</ref>
Trivia sections
Trivia sections are for fun facts about a character/episode/etc. that a reader may like to know. Acceptable trivia is minor details readers may not know. Trivia example: "Yaongyi has mentioned that she references actual celebrity outfits for certain characters' outfits." Inputting obvious statements ("Jugyeong is good at makeup") or general statements ("Jugyeong kind of looks like my favorite celebrity") is considered unacceptable and unfitting for the trivia section.
Images
Image are an essential part of every article. Specific image guidelines are in each respective article type. General Guidelines:
- Every image must be licensed. Visit Category:License templates for your options.
- Every image must be text free. Why? Speech bubble text is distracting and, further, copyrighted. Please remove text via Photoshop or another editing program. If you cannot remove speech text, crop the image or ask a staff member to do it for you. If an image is a background with way too much text (example: the comic shop from episode 85) please use the original Korean illustration.
- Every image must be used on some page, whether it be an article, blog, or your personal page.
Spoilers
This wiki only deals with information provided on the free chapters of the English translation of True Beauty. For users who use fast passes to read ahead, please do not upload any spoiler information.
For pages that serve as a summary of events from an entire episode, such as the articles of each episode and its characters, any spoiler content may not be presented at the same point within the narrative that a reader would encounter it while reading the actual chapter. On pages that relate to integral plot elements, such as a specific event or term, spoilers should be limited to only those situations that directly affect or are affected directly by it and unrelated matters should be avoided completely.
Speculation/Theories and Assumptions
Guesswork through unconfirmed speculation is unacceptable. This wiki only deals with clearly defined facts. Any mentions of references to materials outside of the series must be clear and direct homages to those other works. There should be no guesswork involved when recounting the events that actually happen in a story or relationships among different characters.
Speculations and other unknowns can be added to talk pages, such as discussion forums and blog posts, where these ideas can be put to discussion. Some theories are interesting and sometimes even plausible, but they cannot be displayed alongside things that are factual, as it can become difficult for readers to determine which is which if it is all mixed together on the same page.
Character articles
- Character tabs
ONLY TO BE USED WHERE NEEDED. Don't add this for every character, please. It should really only be used for the main characters who have long synopses and numerous relationships.
- Infobox
Use {{Infobox character}}. Click on the link for specific instructions. For infobox images, please use images directly from the webtoon. Don't use promotional images (even if Yaongyi drew them!), renders, or fanart.
- Lede
Brief summary of the page contents. Include the characters Korean name and romanization in parenthesis next to their English name, bolded.
- Appearance
General information on what the character looks like, what they like wearing, etc. Don't make personality assessments here, they belong in the next section.
- Personality
Basically self-explanatory. Please cite this section heavily since a lot of this could veer into personal opinions about the character. Include things like skills here as well.
- History
Backstories. Things like Jugyeong's middle school days or Seojun's idol past. What they did before they met Jeogyeong is a good general rule, as the story follows her. Cite this!
- Synopsis
The plot, in the order of the episodes. All information here should be follow the current timeline (excluding backstories).
- Relationships
Basically self explanatory. Also cite this heavily as it could veer into opinions. Organize in this order: Family -> Love interests -> Friends -> Other. If possible, use a quote at the top of each section (with {{quote}}) to summarize the two characters' relationship. Any edits that include personal opinions will be reversed by admins.
- Quotes
Misc quotes that do a good job explaining the character's personality and role in the story. For space purposes, organize in a bulleted list, not with the quote template.
- Gallery
Images. This should be mostly for images used elsewhere on the wiki that are not part of the wiki's design. You can add some promotional images as well, but please focus the content on the webtoon and wiki. Do not add every panel the character has ever appeared in.
- Trivia
See above for general rules. Details such as when Yaongyi discussed her character designs and writing process belong here. Cite this.
- Categories
Add related categories.
