Owari no Seraph Wiki:Manual of Style/Referencing Guide

This is the official Owari no Seraph Wiki referencing guide.

What is referencing?
Referencing is the task of adding the proper and accurate references on articles. That way, it'll be ensured that all of the articles contains the right references, which is essential. Aside from it provides proper information, articles would be free from speculation and it would be easy for the reader to look up the specific information they need.

Few Guidelines
First of all, since Owari no Seraph doesn't have anime episodes as of now, all of the references will be coming from the manga. One should be aware that:
 * The art and the scanlation pages aren't included in the page count. For example, the manga has 40 pages, with 2 of them coming from the scanlation team who is seeking people to help out and 1 is a fan art, exclude them in the page count. The starting page would be the chapter's cover page.
 * Every section of the articles must be referenced. The Personality, History, Story, Magic and Abilities, Equipment, Trivia and Quotes. The appearance part can left out; however, if a character wears a different clothing from the usual, portraying the color schemes, gained scars or unusual body features, then it must be referenced.
 * If a reference exceeds 9, a scroll box must be put up, so that it wont take much space. To add the scroll box, just simply add on the references section:


 * It's not enough to put only the chapter, also include the page(s) on where it happened.
 * Of coursem it doesn't simply end on referencing alone. One must be aware that there are times that you have to re-word some parts of the article to ensure a correct reference.

How to do it?
The references must look like this:

One must be aware that there are instances that there would be a need to duplicate the references. If such case happens, the reference must go this way:

Please be reminded that if you use the duplicate reference, make sure that what you're referencing is on the same page and chapter. Once you used the duplicate, the other references can simply go this way:

What is FUR?
is used with fair use tags to tag copyrighted images so they may be used in the project.

Few Guidelines

 * One must be aware that images that are on .png format is much more preferred than .jpg.
 * However, there are instances that .jpgs are excused when it's a manga image, and if it retains it's quality.
 * Images must be of high quality.
 * Make sure to give the image a proper name. It might be deleted if otherwise.
 * For better understanding, please read the wiki's Image Policy.

Explaining FUR
Upon clicking Special:Upload, you will see the upload option, then a wide, white box that displays details that you need to fill out, and a drop down box. Let me explain what are the details you're going to fill: But there are instances that images have various purposes, such as uploading the other wiki's wordmark, which I will explain later. Why? Because if there's someone who has a better quality of the said picture, they are free to replace the previous one.
 * Description: Self explanatory, but I'll explain it nevertheless. It's providing a description about the image you're going to upload. It can be anything, as long as it's plausible. Examples are:
 * Glen, having a sword fight with Mika.
 * Shiho, taking care of his sister.
 * The Underground Temple in Shibuya.
 * Mika, slyaing the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
 * Source: Where you acquired the image. The wiki does not accept fan arts and scanslated images, so sites such as deviantart and pixv are not allowed. And since Owari no Seraph doesn't have an anime for now, this part would usually go:
 * Owari no Seraph Manga by Yamato Yamamoto.
 * Portion: Much like the source, but this time, you have to pinpoint exactly where you got the image. Examples are:
 * Owari no Seraph Manga: Chapter 1, Page 45.
 * Owari no Seraph Manga: Chapter 7, Page 20.
 * Purpose of the image: Need I say more? You have to specify the use of the image. Please be aware that any uploaded images that doesn't have a use would be deleted. It's usually:
 * Illustration of the wiki's articles.
 * Resolution: Another self explanatory. Please indicate if the image is High, Medium or Low. If you like, you can specify the height and width. Examples are:
 * High.
 * High, with dimensions of 500 x 500.
 * Medium, with dimensions of 600 x 450.
 * Replaceable?: By far, the only thing you should put in this one is:
 * Only with an image of the same licensing status.
 * Other information: This part is usually optional and can be left blank, but if you feel like filling it out, you can add details such as:
 * Uploaded by Staw-Hat Luffy, FUR filled out by Choko.
 * This image is made by Calu.

The licenses are pretty much self explanatory, so there's no need to elaborate it further. Once you are sure that you filled out the FUR properly and selected the appropriate license, press upload, and you're good to go.
