New Review Formatting

New reviews may be formatted in any way you like. However, there may be some considerations you might want to take into account and some useful tools that you may benefit from. These are completely optional.

If you feel uncomfortable experimenting with a page, a sandbox exists for the single purpose of allowing you to fiddle.

When you first name a review page, the site benefits from using a particular code to help facilitate searches and various features. This code is never used on new pages that are not reviews. The code is simple: a capitalized abbreviation followed by a dash separated by spaces.

Yes, the code must be capitalized in order to make use of all website features. Here's a full list of page prefix codes currently used:
 * MOVIE - Dude of Awesometon
 * MISC - My Lame Trip to Wisconsin

Failing to include this code is not disastrous. It will merely cause the page to not appear if someone searches for reviews by code and certain site templates will produce a few erroneous results.

If you believe that a new code should be made for a particular kind of media, go ahead and use it and then drop a note off on an administrator's talk page. When making new codes, try to keep things as general as possible; notice we use MUSIC instead of SONG.

You may format your review page in any way you like. However, there are some things that may be worth keeping in mind.


 * Other people may want to write their own review of the material on your page.
 * Don't hog Heading 2! Use Heading 2 once at the beginning of your review and then stick with Heading 3 or lower for the rest.
 * New reviewers may then use Heading 2 to separate their own review from yours.
 * There are site features that handle how your review is labeled and categorized.
 * When making a new review, use the appropriate review code prefix in the page name (see table above).
 * Don't forget to add the review's category to the Categories box on the side of the editing screen. Category names are listed on the table above.
 * This is a public site.
 * Try to refrain from the use of profanity. Entertainment materials can make us emotional but please censor your responses.
 * There are Wikia "templates" available. Templates produce useful methods of displaying information without a great deal of puttering. Specific templates for this site are listed on Review Formatting Resources.
 * Do not forget to tell us who made the review!
 * The use of four tildes ( ~ ) automatically leaves your user name and current time.
 * A review banner with your name and picture can be inserted. For the code to do so, check out Review Formatting Resources.
