33 Immortals:Edit Rules

33 Immortals Edit Rules are the official style and formatting guidelines for editing content on the 33 Immortals Wiki. These rules are designed to ensure all pages maintain a consistent tone, structure, and quality appropriate for an encyclopedic game wiki.

Article structure

• Start each article with a brief lead section summarizing the topic in 2–4 sentences.
• Structure the content with clear headings using == Heading == syntax.
• Only include relevant and complete sections — do not add placeholder content.
• Do not include a “See also” section or external links section.

Writing style

• All content must be written in a clear, objective, and informative tone.
• Use the third-person perspective; do not use first-person or second-person language.
• Avoid speculation, personal commentary, or unverified claims.
• Maintain immersion and accuracy by referencing only confirmed in-game content or official lore.

Formatting conventions

• Use bold text (triple apostrophes) for key terms, item names, abilities, and game concepts on first mention.
• Use italic text (double apostrophes) for titles of quests, locations, missions, and factions.
• Do not use underline, strikethrough, or caps lock for emphasis.
• Avoid over-formatting. Only bold/italicize where appropriate.

Headings

• Use heading levels correctly:
  • = Page title = (automatically handled by MediaWiki)
  • == Main section ==
  • === Subsection ===
  • ==== Sub-subsection ====
• Do not manually bold headings. Do not include links in headings.

Infoboxes

• Use the
  Quick facts:

  Edit Rules
  template for all character, enemy, weapon, and item pages.
• Fill out all known parameters clearly. Leave unknown fields blank—do not insert placeholders like "TBD."
• Do not modify the structure or style of the infobox without approval.

Images

• Upload only high-resolution, in-game or promotional images.
• Name files descriptively (e.g., Immortal_Weapon_Shield.png).
• Insert images using:

 [[File:Example.png|thumb|Caption text]]

• Image captions must be concise, informative, and written in full sentences.
• Limit the number of images per article to only relevant visuals.

Internal links

• Link the first mention of important topics, characters, items, or locations using Bracketed links.
• Avoid overlinking — do not repeat links to the same article in close proximity.
• Do not use piped links for synonyms; instead, redirect pages should be used.
• Red links are allowed only for topics that are planned and necessary.

External links and references

• Do not include references, citations, or footnotes.
• Do not use <ref> tags or == References == sections.
• Do not add links to external sites, wikis, YouTube, or forums.

Lists

• Use bullet points (*) for unordered lists.
• Use numbered lists (#) for sequences, rankings, or steps.
• Avoid decorative bullets, custom icons, or mixed formatting within lists.

Templates

• Use only templates approved for the 33 Immortals Wiki.
• Do not create new templates without admin approval.
• Use templates like {{InfoboxNeue}}, {{Navbox}}, or {{Disambig}} appropriately.

Categories

• Add relevant categories at the bottom of the page.
• Do not include a section header like == Categories ==.
• Use existing site categories only. For example: [[Category:Characters]]

Page naming conventions

• Use sentence case (e.g., "Shield of the Ancients") unless the in-game title uses special casing.
• Use singular titles unless the subject is inherently plural.
• Avoid abbreviations or acronyms in titles unless officially used in-game.
• Disambiguate titles if necessary (e.g., [[Guardian (Enemy)]]).

Style preferences specific to 33 Immortals Wiki

• Do not use "See also" sections.
• Do not include references, citations, or external content.
• Use structured headers (e.g., Spawning, Behavior, Tactics) for enemy and item articles.
• Avoid summary conclusions (e.g., "This makes it one of the best...").
• Always use proper wiki markup (`'`, ``, `#`, `*`) — never Markdown or HTML formatting.

Editing conduct

• Provide clear and respectful edit summaries for major changes.
• Use talk pages to propose large changes or request feedback.
• Refrain from edit warring; use discussion to resolve disputes.
• Do not use the mainspace to test formatting. Use your sandbox or subpages.

Vandalism and misuse

• Vandalism, trolling, or spamming will be reverted and may lead to a block.
• Content unrelated to 33 Immortals will be removed.
• Pages violating these rules will be cleaned up or deleted without notice.
