Editing guide

Hello editor! This is a small user-friendly guide to give you some pointers and tips when writing articles on the End CMP Fandom! We advise that you take a brief look at this even if you have edited before, you could learn something new!

General editing
These points apply to all articles on the wiki, so be careful!

Only use facts when writing articles.
This is a light community, but this wiki wants to keep the facts separate from the jokes (Ex: Steve in a minecart is NOT a separate personality). Also, try to exclude speculation unless there is heavy speculation or if it is strongly implied. Edits that don't follow this will be undone to ensure accuracy.

Don't narrate!
When writing, avoid sounding like you're talking to your friend. Try to write them like reports.

Here is an example of what NOT to write:

 'In rage, Kyle grabbed out his sword and ran at someone he hates.'

This is a good way to narrate a story, but not a very professional way to write in an article. Alternatively we could say:

 'Out of rage, Kyle took out his sword and fought Ender.'

Of course it doesn't sound as appealing, but it would be easier to follow for newcomers and would make much more sense between sentences.

Use Canadian English when writing
Example: color < colour

Hyperlinks
Only hyperlink the first time something is mentioned in an article. For example, if a paragraph has Jaden linked twice, you only need to link the page Jaden once. The only exception to this are tables (relationship charts) and infoboxes.

Capitalization rules
This wiki uses capitalization rules similar to Wikipedia and many other well known wikis. The rule can be found at this link. Essentially, this rule states that if words are not an official title or proper noun, they should not be capitalized.

Example title: Mango in prison as opposed to Mango In Prison.

Example header: "Oliver's mind." as opposed to "Oliver's Mind."

Date format
When writing the full date of events in text, timeline headers, or infoboxes, use the Month DD, YYYY format. Spell out the full month and do not use ordinals for the day. In cases that full dates are not necessary (such as when referencing another unrelated or minor event), follow the same conventions as full date, but without the year. Grammar

When writing, please remember to use proper grammar. Grammar is very important in conveying the point, and grammatically incorrect sentences are difficult to read and confuse readers. After writing, reread your changes to ensure that what you wrote properly conveys your intended message.

Unclear pronouns
When writing sentences with multiple antecedents, be careful with pronouns.

Example: As you can see with sample sentence 1, it is difficult to distinguish if "he" means Oliver, Ender, or Kyle. Sample sentence 2 is written such that "he" could only mean Oliver.

Verb tense
Remember to always use consistent and proper word tense. Events that happened in the past use past tense. Timeline entries on this wiki are always written in present tense.

Characters
Characters are actors, often by YouTubers of the same name. Here are some important points to follow when writing about them:

Remember that characters aren't always the person who plays them
Some prefer to be themselves when not continuing the plot, and sometimes they may take short breaks from the roleplay. Remember to only write what is relevant to the character!

Some characters have more than one personality
The CMP has been active for some time now, and this have given characters the chance to grow and switch between personalities. Some personalities can have extremely conflicting traits and their own history.

For example, Ender and Ghost Ender. Both are the same character but are almost completely unique. These personalities have their own pages; make sure what you write is relevant to the correct personality.

Character skins
ItzIcyBuns already adds them in so you don't have to worry

Character relationships
The order of characters in each character relationship chart is by alphabetical order, not positivity order. This is to ensure that if a relationship changes, the whole order of the chart does not need to be rearranged.

Character history
The character page history section is a summary of their involvement in the event. As a result, it should only summarize their involvement and the impact. Do not include details of the event; details belong on their respective pages, not character pages. Link the event pages using and  beneath the section header on the character page.

File uploads
When uploading files, please use a short name that describes the file being uploaded as the file name.

New pages
New pages are created when content does not fit in any existing page. Prior to creating a page, ask these questions:


 * Is this content significant enough to have its own page?
 * Is this content official? (Fan-made content such as theories, headcanons, art, etc. belongs in Fan content, user blogs, or user pages.)
 * Is there enough information for the page?
 * Does a page with this content already exist?
 * Would the community be willing to help expand and maintain the page?

Any new pages that do not follow these guidelines will be redirected or deleted.
