#'''Bias''': Keep all information accurate and factual and do not post speculation or opinions onto articles. Non-canon information may only be included if it is notable.

*'''Partitioning''': There does not need to be a page for every

*'''Namespaces:''' If a page will be under construction for a long time due to long-dormant research opportunities, little free time, or other reasons, create it as a subpage of your user page, then move it to mainspace when it's presentable.

===Visual Master List===
The [[Visual Master List]] is a list of all the in-game assets ordered by asset number. It is updated once per month, mirroring Webkinz maintenance. If you are not responsible for the Visual Master List, do not edit it during maintenance. These pages are protected to

The [[Webkinz Picture Guide]] contains pictures of every item in Webkinz sorted by how the item was obtained/released. Assets are manually added to their correct page on the Picture Guide after either their canon announcement or in-game release. These pages are protected to
===Item Guide===
The [[Webkinz Item Guide]] is a list of every officially released Webkinz item, sorted by how the item was released.

Reference with the method of obtaining the item if different from its original release and add primary sources where possible.

==Files==
*'''Names''': In-game assets need to be its in-game name, with no spaces or punctuation e.g. "Will 'o the Wisp Floor Lamp" becomes "Willothewispfloorlamp.png", and any pets are named its in-game name + "avatar", e.g. "Lil' Kinz Oriole" becomes "Lilkinzorioleavatar.png". In the case of an in-game name conflict, add the year of the later item before the regular file name e.g. "2021elephantavatar.png". For non-assets, try to follow the naming conventions of preceding files in the same collection. Otherwise, give files short and appropriate names that relate to the content of the files.
*'''Format''': Different types of files have different rules, which will be listed below:
**'''Pet and Item Images''': Images need to be 120x120 px on a transparent background. No in-game screenshots are allowed.
**'''Room Theme Images''': File name should be theme name + theme preview with no spaces or punctuation, e.g. "Winter Patio Theme" becomes "Winterpatiothemepreview.png." Try to include as many theme items as possible and exclude non-theme items.
**'''Game Images''': Must be a screenshot, whether using the screenshot tool in Webkinz World itself, or with a built-in tool from your computer or phone. Personally taken pictures using a camera is not allowed, unless no other versions of that image exists.
