From Transformers Fanon Wiki

This Layout Guide is an official guide as to how an in-universe article should be structured. Feel free to discuss the Layout Guide on the talk page.

The following are aspects of a well-written article that should be present. The following tags mark how frequently something should be used.

• Required-Should always be present in an article, down to the smallest of stubs.
• Recommended-Should be present in featured articles, or candidates for such an award.
• If applicable-Should be present if the article is detailed enough and the conditions for such a section are met.

Infobox (recommended)

• A relevant infobox that gives statistics and known information in a comprehensible chart that gives basic background information on the subject.
• Articles that only have an infobox are discouraged; more information in encyclopedic form should be provided.

Main article (required)

• All in-universe text regarding fanon characters, concepts, etc goes here.

Behind the scenes (notice the capitalization)(recommended)

• Here, information on inspiration, origin, and reason of creation of the article is usually placed in bulleted form. It is a practice of some users to give author's credit in this header.

Appearances (if applicable)

• If the fanon character or concept covered in the article is part of an unencyclopedic fan-fiction, novella, short story or other fan-devised media in or outside the Transformers Fanon Wiki.
• The items on this list should be in bulleted form, in an in-universe chronology.
• For a subject's first appearance in the saga (in order of publication, not in order of internal chronology), use {{1st}}

• For short story series, make reference to the actual story, not the entire saga.
• For generic comments, use {{c}}

See also (recommended)

• Links to related topics not already linked in article.
• Usually links to Gallery or Family pages, that don't really belong in the main article

External links (if applicable)

• It's called "External links" even if there is currently only one link.
• Links to other sources or sites which the subject may be mentioned, covered in alternate detail, or discussed.

Category (required)

• Every article should have at least one category. Categorizing articles by author doesn't count, but it is encouraged to add that as an additional category to your work.
• Categories should be listed in alphabetical order.
