When creating a new article, it's important that the arrangement and style matches other articles on the wiki. This way readers can maintain a consistent experience across the wiki. The following standards are the ones currently followed on the Armyverse Wiki, and they're subject to change based on the community's needs and preferences. Please remember that you should try to contribute along these standards, but you're not required to fill in everything. For example, if you are creating a character article, you don't need to write the biography for the character. There are biography guidelines that should be followed if you're writing a biography, but your contributions are appreciated whether you write the entire page, or just get it started.
Please note that this wiki uses sentence casing whenever possible, such as article titles and headers. This is a common wiki practice which has the advantage of being able to write links into sentences without the need for alternate link text.
When creating new articles, please consider the value they add to the wiki. Burt Cummings' mother, for example, is briefly mentioned, but doesn't appear in the story and has no direct impact on the world as we experience it. The Eiffel Tower in Paris is briefly seen onscreen, but it's not a location that is visited by any of the characters. Potential articles like these might be better left as side notes on the Burt and Paris pages. On the other hand, the President of the United States is briefly mentioned and never seen onscreen, however, he has a major impact on the flow of events in Army of the Dead. Minor characters, locations, etc. are welcome to their own articles, but try to keep in mind which ones add information about the Armyverse, and which ones could be considered filler.
Preload templates
When creating a new page, if possible, use a preload template. Preload templates are available in the drop-down selection box beneath the editing window when editing a page. Selecting the relevant template will fill the page with the layout that should be used for the article.
Example articles
A great place to start is to look at articles similar to the one you're creating/expanding, and match the style to that article.

Images
This wiki uses a shared image repository with the Zack Snyder Wiki. It's preferred that behind the scenes images that depict cast and crew are uploaded there rather than here, as that way they can be used on both wikis.
