=Editing Guidelines=
More details on editing pages can be found on the [[Webkinz Wiki:Projects Revival]] page.
== User Permissions==

==General Rules==
#'''Scope''': Keep to the topic of Webkinz, including Next,
# '''References''': It is ideal to include references on article pages, so please source your information when editing. Also, use official sources and files and avoid uploading personally taken photos or videos. More details are under "Files" below.
#'''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.
#'''Duplicates''': Make sure you're not posting a duplicate file or article before creating or uploading one.
#'''Spelling, Grammar, and Punctuation''': Make sure to write articles conforming to American English proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. The spelling of a word relating to Webkinz should follow how either the game, Webkinz Newz, and/or a physical item released by Webkinz spells it.
==Best Practices==

==Pages==
=== 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 administrators only.
*'''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)]]. ▼
=== Picture Guide ===
**Pet images for infoboxes are currently recommended to be .png files, sized 300x180px (or simply a 5:3 aspect ratio), and to include a transparent background. More details are given under "Files" below.▼
The Picture Guide contains pictures of every item in Webkinz sorted by how the item was obtained/released. These are manually added after they're canonically announced or are released in-game after the assets are uploaded to the Visual Master List and they're open to the public.. These pages are protected to administrators only.
*'''Item Pages''': Item pages are to include either an [[Template:Item Infobox]] or a [[Template:EStore Item Infobox]], an intro paragraph, the official description, and a navbox if applicable. Details on item images are under "Files" below.▼
▲*'''Partitioning''': There does not need to be a page for every one subject. For example, the [[Employment Office]] jobs wouldn't need their own pages, and are able to be easily organized on the Employment Office article.
===Item Guide===
▲**Additionally, this goes for categories as well: for example, there are existing categories to list characters and would not need an article page to list them out too.
The Item Guide is a list of every officially released Webkinz item, sorted by how the item was released. Release date, availability, and tradeability are mandatory fields; others are added where relevant. These pages are protected to administrators only.
I believe what we were doing in terms of consistency is there should be references explaining how you got the item if it was different than the original release. For example, if a Fall Fest item is released in 2020 and comes back via floating leaves in 2021, there would be no reference. However, if it comes back via the baby monkey in the clubhouse, a reference would be added. We haven't been putting primary sources, but maybe we should.
it's not the wigev, don't put values.
webkinz picture guide has deliberately not included a list of priceless items. "priceless" has never had an official or objective metric, it's only been determined by community consensus, which makes it way out of scope of a fanwiki

==Templates ==
*'''Editing''': For the time being, outdated navbox templates are free to be updated. Navboxes are to be remade similar to these:
**[[Template:Navboxcats]]
**[[Template:Navboxmythical]]
**[[Template:Navboxancientcivilizationstheme]]
▲*'''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.
==Files==
*
▲*any item is named its in-game name, no spaces, first letter capital, no punctuation e.g. "Will 'o the Wisp Floor Lamp" becomes "Willothewispfloorlamp.png" any pets are named its in-game name + "avatar", e.g. "Lil' Kinz Oriole" becomes "Lilkinzorioleavatar.png" when files are duplicated, year goes before name e.g. "2021elephantavatar.png"
*'''Organization''': When uploading an image, please sort it into one of the subcategories in the [[:Category:Uploaded files|Uploaded Files]] category.
*'''Format''': Different types of
** '''Virtual Pet Images''': a 5:3 aspect ratio, with the entire pet image within the boundaries of the canvas size, as well as having a transparent background. Many pet images can be found through the Kinzapedia on Webkinz Newz, which require a 300x180px canvas size (for the sake of fitting the infobox). For pet images not in the Kinzapedia, it is recommended to find one with an already transparent background or a white background (if not, then any image of the pet at all) to make into a transparent. Canvas size may be increased as needed, but not decreased.
**'''Item Images''': Same rules apply to item images, except item images must be in a 1:1 aspect ratio, which many Kinzapedia item images already are.
**'''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.
Line 68 ⟶ 89:
**'''Plush Images''': Must be of clear quality. Cannot be personally taken.
**'''Videos''': Unless it cannot be found anywhere else, it must be from an official source.
