Perspective and Basic Rules[]
- All articles are written in third person and present tense of American English.
- English language is a main one on this wiki. (French content should be translated and/or explained)
- All articles should be written from a neutral perspective, not from personal opinion.
- Use the "Preview" button before making the final edit
- Names of characters, locations, groups are capitalized (Lola Lecomte, The Crew)
- Proper noun is always referred by a link to its definite article (The Crew)
- Characters should be referred to as the name they are most often called in canon.
- Incomplete articles should be given the {{Construction}} template.
- Pages should consist only of canon information.

Templates []
We use templates to stylize pages and organize information.
Click expand to see the templates.
General Templates[]
| This template is used with Tabber in "Throughout the Series" section. It's a scroll bar with a box. We use it when tabber has too much information in it.
Example: Lola and Maya | ||
<tabber>Ep 1= *text* |-|Ep 2= *text* </tabber> |
We use tabber in "Throughout the Series" section, "Relationships" section (Romantic, Friendships, Family relationships) sometimes to insert gallery.
Example: Arthur Broussard |
