== References and continuity == | |||
Hi, the reason I have undone your edits is that they don't follow our requirements for those sections of story pages. Before I detail what we do and don't want for those sections, first I'd like to say that if an [[admin]] reverts an edit of yours, always ask first before re-adding the edit. We are a large wiki with a ton of rules, and it's very easy for new users to break multiple rules on their early edits. That's why the admins are here, to answer questions about the rules. | |||
Just so you know, the References and Continuity sections are often confused by even veteran editors. But there is a difference, and we do have guidelines for each section. | |||
:'''References''' section: | |||
:* It is for nouns mentioned in stories that do not serve any importance to the plot. | |||
:* We do not include citations in references, but we do require that at least one noun in each reference item links to a page on this wiki (and it can be a redlink if the page is not yet created). | |||
:* References have to be visible or audible in the story, not allusions or assumptions. | |||
:* There is no need to list items in the Reference section if they already exist on the page. For example, if someone in a story eats a satsuma, it can be mentioned in the Reference section: So-and-so ate a [[satsuma]]. However, if the satsuma figures in the plot and is mentioned in the plot section (like in [[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)]]), it doesn't need to be put in References. | |||
:* Reference items should just be a mention of the person/place/item; they do not need to be described in detail. Readers who want to know more about, say, a satsuma, can click on the page for satsuma and read more there. | |||
:'''Continuity''' section: | |||
:* This section is for making connections between the story in question and another story. | |||
:* The entries must be properly cited; see any story's Continuity section for how to properly cite. | |||
:* Plot holes, discontinuities, and the like are '''not''' allowed on the story page in any section. They can only go in the story's page on [[Theory:Discontinuity index]]. | |||
Hope this helps. Thanks, [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:24, August 20, 2018 (UTC) | |||
