Welcome and thank you for visiting Kpop Wiki! This page contains general information on editing, articles, formatting, layout, images, and resources.
Editing[]
Editing is a way to improve articles for readers like adding a new photo or paragraph, correcting mistakes, or tweaking the layout. Vandalism including adding fake information, gibberish, and blanking can result in a warning for first-time offenders and eventually a block if the actions are repeated or escalates. These also apply to the user's conduct as improper behavior like uncivility, threats, harassment, personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Articles[]
General[]
Red links are a way to encourage editors to create new articles. Please do not remove them if you spot one.
When adding a new article, please do not leave them blank or with little-to-no content. This creates confusion for the readers and will be promptly deleted.
Copying from fan sites is not allowed. Copying directly from Wikipedia is also not allowed as we want to keep this Wiki unique. If you still prefer to use content from another Wiki, you must paraphrase it into your own words (and keep any references, if available).
Stubs[]
A stub is an article that, while provides basic information, lacks extensive coverage of the subject. Stub articles however can be properly expanded into a larger article when more content is added.
The criteria for removing a stub template on Kpop Wiki includes:
- Follows the Wiki's Layout Guide
- Have extensive coverage throughout the article including a career/history section that, at minimum, covers from the artist's beginnings to current activities, members table, complete discography, filmography, and gallery.
- Has references throughout the article to support the information (mostly in the career/history and trivia sections)
- If applicable to the artist, the article also includes concerts, endorsements, and awards sections
- Examples of articles that are not stubs:
