Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki:Editing Advice

here are many things to take into consideration when editing on Wikia. There are a few things being constantly done that are not what you should do.

Avoid...
Deleting almost all the text on the page


 * Reason: It counts as vandalism.

Rewriting a large section of the page, or the entire article without first discussing why it needs to be redone.


 * Reason: Other editors may like to voice their opinions on how things would be better suited on the page. They also may be offended if you don't give a good reason for the rewrite. However if you discuss the change first and everyone is satisfied with the change, you can go ahead without any problems.

Creating tiny articles, when the information would be better suited in another article


 * Reason: Articles consisting of a few lines of text are little help to anyone looking them up. If the article was important enough to be created then it should equally be filled with important information. Small articles fall under the category of Stubs, something which is considered a beginning of a article and needs expanding on.

Expressing your opinion on a subject page


 * Reason: One of the things Wikia is not is a forum. If you say "Ace is Hot!" you are making a opinion based comment and not a encyclopedic fact. Even on the discussion pages, your comment will most likely end up being deleted from the page, there are however many forums you can visit and express your opinion freely. Some comments, such as writing "One Piece Sucks! Naruto is better!" will count as vandalism especially if you have deleted sections of a page to express your opinion.

Creating a non-neutral page


 * Reason: Similar to expressing you opinion on a page is creating a page that is not neutral. When you write a article, you must presume you are addressing a complete stranger, not your best friend who lives down the road from you or your next door neighbour. Avoid any reference to specific persons you know or the One Piece fandom. Also, avoid creating pages directly linked to causing hatred towards an individual or company.

Remember!
Keep the article quality. If you have to create a section by using speculated information or unconfirmed information, or perhaps something on a subject you don't understand very well, then please request it to be done by someone who has access to more information, or don't add that part at all. Nobody cares about how long an article is, or how many exist. Aim for Quality!
