*on monthly webkinz maintenance, we rip new files from programming and add to wpg visual master list, where they're ordered by asset number. then they're manually added to picture guide and item guide when announced canonically or released in-game, whichever is earlier |

*'''Pet Pages''': [[:Category:Regular Pets|Regular pet]] pages are to include a completed [[Template:Pet Box|Pet Box]], an intro, the official description, a gallery for images related to the pet, and navboxes befitting the pet. Lil' Kinz pet pages should have the same information but with a [[Template:Lil Box 2.0|Lil Box (2.0)]]. |

*'''Importance''': Upon articles, be sure to include notable information and keep to the main idea. For example, a pet's page should include the day they were released. However, it would be unnecessary to point out if that pet came out after a certain other pet. While the statement could be true, it wouldn't be noteworthy enough to write. |
