Revision as of 02:38, 10 December 2020 by Blueway (Message Wall | contribs) (Update)
View source

The Layout Guide intends to standardize how an article should look on Kpop Wiki. The information below outlines the relevant headings and sections that should be included when it comes to creating or editing an article.

People

Infobox

  • The infobox, Template:Infobox person, must be placed at the beginning of the article, before the lead.
    • For the "birth_date" parameter, use Template:Birth date and age if full date known or Template:Birth year and age if only year known.
    • For the "height" and "weight" parameter, please use metric units (eg. cm, kg). You can also optional use Template:Cvt to convert to imperial.
    • For the "Website" and "SNS" parameters, use the templates here
    • For the "Related Wiki" parameter, please add Template:FL in the Related Wikis page, not directly in article.
    • Note: For the fandom and colors, please keep ones officially mention. Do not add a group's fandom name into a member's infobox unless they have their own.
    • Use Template:Color box for official colors.

Lead section

  • A brief summary on the artist. Keep it to a few paragraphs.

Career

  • The artist's background. Can be divided into subsections like "Early life", "Pre-debut", and by years of activities.

Discography

  • Note: Albums titles are italicized. (eg. ABC), singles & songs titles are quoted. (eg. "ABC")
  • For more than one language, please place the appropriate headings (columns are preferred if there are many releases)
  • Place repackage releases in a sub-bullet under the corresponding release.
  • Order of importance:
    • Studio albums
    • Best albums
    • Cover albums
    • Live albums
    • Mini album
    • Mixtapes
    • Remake albums
    • Remix albums
    • Special albums
    • EPs
    • Singles albums

    • Remix singles

    • Collaborations and features (can be separated into separate sections)

  • Any songwriting, composing, producing works should be placed here and should be sorted by year in descending order, preferably in a table.
