Noragami Wiki:Quick Start Guide

Want to jump right into creating or editing an article? This is the Noragami Wiki's Quick Start Guide, a condensed version outling the most essential rules for article creation and editing for new editors.


 * If you are new to wikis in general, check out Help:Getting Started.
 * For the full version of Wiki policies, please visit the Policy page.
 * For the full guide to the creation, editing, and layout of articles on the Wiki, please read the Manual of Style.

Before creating a new article
The Noragami Wiki hosts hundreds of articles. Before creating a new one, ask yourself the following questions:


 * Does an article on this topic already exist? If so, consider contributing to that article instead.
 * Could this topic fit better as a subpage on an already-existing article? Consider the Strays subsection on the shinki page.

If the answer to both of these questions is "no", then the article may be created.

Essential Guidelines

 * The contents of the Wiki are in English, except for certain terms/skill names/techniques which are expressed in Japanese.
 * All kanji must include furigana
 * The template used for this is . For an example, check out the source code on Hiyori Iki's page.
 * In-Universe Wording: Avoid phrases like "In Chapter 60..." or "In the Yomi Arc..."
 * Official Kodansha terms (e.g, "ayakashi" instead of "Phantom", "shinki" instead of "Regalia")
 * Sources should be included for most information on the Wiki, except when the source is self-evident (e.g, the chapter summary of a chapter article). For a properly sourced article, check out Father.
 * All manga images must have blanked speech bubbles. Japanese raws only.
 * Images must be licensed with "Fair Use under U.S Law" and relevant to Noragami; PNGs only. JPGs and GIFs are not allowed on the Wiki.
 * Keep the tense of the article consistent: past tense throughout for deceased characters, the History sections of Synopsis, and flashbacks; present tense for all other sections

Source Templates
Each page should have a small scroll box for references, regardless of the number of references on the page. To add a scrollbox, simply type in the source editor (see Template:Refbox for documentation).


 * Manga: Template:CHref.
 * Omake: Template:OMref.
 * Author's Notes: Template:ANref.
