==Page Creation==
===Determining the Page Name===
Before doing anything, if you intend to create a character page for a fan-created Nandroid (or "Fandroid"), please first go [[https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/Emmy_The_Robot_Fan_WikiEmmy_The_Robot_Fandom_Wiki:Layout_guide/Fandroid_list ''HERE''|here]] and follow the instructions for adding a fandroid to the [[List of fan Nandroids]], and then return here.
 
Before actuallyWhen creating a page for a character, location, or other subject, the Name of the page that defines its URL must first be determined. '''Pages about real people are not permitted on this wiki.''' If the above mentioned steps for adding a fandroid to the List of fandroids were followed, then you will already have the page Name value for its URL and can skip to the "Making the Page with the Determined Page Name" section. Otherwise, continue with these instructions.
 
There are some conventions to follow when deciding on the Name of a page (and subsequently its URL). First and foremost, the full Name of the subject should be used, such as "Angela Delaire" or "Wendy Bishop". There are also some page Name formatting rules to follow that cover situations when there are multiple subjects with the same name, or alternate versions of existing characters, in either canon or fanon. These Name formats can be categorized into three formats:
Line 15:
You must use the following rules to determine whether the page you are creating shall have a vanilla Name, a differentiator Name, or an alternate version Name.
 
<strong>Differentiator Names</strong> are to be used in the event of a vanilla Name conflict between two or more pages about completely separate characters, locations, or other subjects. The vanilla Name is always fistfirst given to whichever page concerns canon content, or if there if the conflict is between fanon pages, given to the older of the two conflicts. The remaining pages shall receive a "differentiator" Name, which shall be the vanilla Name with an identifying suffix tacked on. This suffix should, in order of preference, contain the name of the work the subject originates from, or the creator's name if there is no work, and be placed after an underscore and in parenthesis. For example, "Natalia" versus "Natalia_(Bulletz4Breakfeast)". Abbreviating longer story titles or creator names is not permitted for the Name used in the URL, but is acceptable when masking it to save visual space on a page at this time.
 
<strong>Alternative version Names</strong> are to be used in the event a subject fractures into multiple versions. In this case, the original or "primary" version shall receive the vanilla URL. The subsequent alternate versions shall have the vanilla Name suffixed followed by a forward-slash, followed by the name of the work they appear in or the name of their creator if there is no work. For example, "Lulu" versus "Lulu/Cobbled". The rule of last names still applies here - for example there is no "Wendy" page because the primary Wendy's Name is "Wendy Bishop", and because the alternative Wendy from 'Wendy Wakes Up' is not the primary, her page Name is still "Wendy/WWU".
Line 22:
 
===Making the Page with the Determined Page Name===
<strong>Now we shall create the actual page.</strong> Navigate to the page you'd like to create using the format: <code>https://emmytherobot.wiki/wiki/NAME</code>, where NAME is the subject of the article you are going to write about (iei.e. Emmy, Franny, Waverly, The_Mendenhalls), etc.. Spaces should be replaced with underscores (_). You may have to get creative if a page already exists under a certain name but isn't for the character you are wanting (ie Emmy is taken, but you could use Emmy_(MyStoryName)). Once you navigate to the nonexistent page, if it is blank, you will get a message stating so and an option to 'create this page'. Click it.
 
Alternatively, use the following box to check: {{#createpage:}}

===Explanation===
Above is a good starting blank page. To keep it simple, it is using a default '"infobox'" template and laid out like [[Emmy]]'s page, and so will look similar. It gives a few sections and shows in a general way how to add some interesting page features, like images, lists, and links to additional reading. Copy the text and paste it into your new blank page. The sections can be renamed to anything you think is relevant.
 
===Basic Information===
Line 127 ⟶ 120:
The infobox is meant to give a quick overview of pertinent information. Fill out the information as follow:
<div style="background: #ffffff; overflow:auto;width:auto;border:solid gray;border-width:.1em .1em .1em .8em;padding:.2em .6em;"><pre style="margin: 0; line-height: 125%">| name = Character name for the header
| fullnamename = Character's full name. Will appear at the top of the infobox.
| fullname = Character's full name, if different. Will appear inside the infobox.
| image = nandroid.png (More on this in a minute)
| caption = Caption under the image. Not required.
| sn = Serial Number, if available or required▼
| created = Creation date▼
| species = Human? [[Robot]]?▼
| creator = Creator(s)▼
| type = Nandroid? Busker bot?▼
| job = What is their job? Could just be [[Nandroid]]
| owned = Who owns the Nandroid? Example: The Delaires, John Sterling
| employed = Who does the Nandroid work for? If they don't have a personal owner, maybe they work for a company?
| age = Character age.
| status = Are they an outmode? Offline? Lost?
| age = Age
▲| species = Human? Robot?
▲| type = Nandroid? Busker bot?
▲| sn = Serial Number, if available or required
| canon = Canon or Fanon, only those two options, please.
▲| created = Creation date
▲| creator = Creator(s)

====Spoilers====
For information that may be considered a spoiler, be sure to implement spoiler text using the following template syntax.
<div style="background: #ffffff; overflow:auto;width:auto;border:solid gray;border-width:.1em .1em .1em .8em;padding:.2em .6em;"><pre style="margin: 0; line-height: 125%">{{Warning/Spoilers}} <--Include this at the top of your page.
{{Spoiler|Words you want to be hidden}}
</pre></div>
 
====Tabber====
Line 178:
===Sources===
As you write your page, be sure to [[Emmy_The_Robot_Fandom_Wiki:Manual_of_style#Citations|cite sources]] for your information.
 
===Gallery===
You can also upload fan art of the character, well known images or images portraying their personality or interests are great to use. If there is a lot of fan art, feel free to upload it to the [https://emmytherobot.art Nandroid Booru] and include the <nowiki>{{Gallery|name}}</nowiki> template, replacing the word name with the character's name as it appears on the booru, in lower case.
 
===Appearances===
The <nowiki>{{List of fan stories header}}</nowiki> line MUST be included for the table to show up correctly, and MUST have the |} at the end of the section, on a new line. Fill in the syntax similar to [[Emmy_The_Robot_Fandom_Wiki:Layout_guide/Fandroid_list#Creating_an_entry|here]].
