[edit] Guidelines

[edit] Trivia

Per Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles, please integrate trivia sections into the main text, or create a new section that discusses the trivia in a coherent manner. Convert bulleted lists into prose.

[edit] The Japanese language

Utilize the {{Nihongo}} template instead of the makeshift one (English and then kanji/kana in a parenthesis followed by romaji in italics). If the katakana or kanji is unknown, check the page at the Japanese Wikipedia (日本語のウィキペディア, Nihongo no Uikipidīa^?).

[edit] Power Rangers

Deploy {{Infobox Power Rangers}} on articles about individual characters (see Cassie Chan for an example).
Episodes should not have their own article (this is not a catch-all; major exceptions include Day of the Dumpster and possibly some others). They should be put in a "List of xxx episodes" article.
The tables on Power Rangers articles should be phased out entirely. They should be replaced with a terse character section, describing the character, such as sections at Mighty Morphin Power Rangers#The Power Rangers, GoGo Sentai Boukenger#Characters, and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger#Characters. No colored text should be utilized in this process. The only thing that should be linked to are the following:
- The character's section in a separate article or the character's article
- An article on the actor who plays said character.
Create a common and consistent outline to be used for each individual Power Rangers series
- All series articles should include Synopsis, Characters, Arsenal, Zords, and Episodes (and under these common titles)
- Reach a consensus to either create/expand other "common" sections featured in only a couple series (including Production History, Uniqueness of the Series) or remove/integrate the information into other sections.
