Jo's Chandelier Editing Guidelines
Welcome to an editing guideline by me. I hope this will be of some use to editors and contributors both old and new. I'm doing this based off the idea of Abbynanodesu's Psychopathic editing guide, but I assure you this is based on my own experience.

You are more than invited to spend your time drinking a cup of tea or hot chocolate and read this editing guideline by no one else but ME, Jo SHININGSTAR. This guideline sure will be useful for people out there editing, and I'm doing this based off the idea of Halo1081's Guide of Basing Editing based off Abbynanodesu's psychopathic editing guide, and yes this is based on my own experience.

The reason why it's named chandelier editing guideline because the structure below won't be simple, and because I'm typing this listening to Sia Chandelier (1.2.3. 1.2.3. drink) (turn back, till I loose count..) (I'M GONNA SWING FROM THE CHANDELIER) (lol)

Editors on the Wiki
Oh this wiki has tons of people editing around here. Lots of us just choose to edit a specific area, others do anything available. Like Halo said, some comment a lot to keep the social pace, and others work in shadows. Right now, there are 2 main, active admins and 1 active bureaucrat. The section of the chandelier below will be a run-down of users you can usually see on the wiki doing their jobs, and users who have titles whether active or not. (Not gonna put a bibliography into this, screw MLA)

Administrators & Beureaucrats
2gether 4 infinity (Inactive): The wiki's founder. She's not active currently in my opinion, and its hard to find this ninja passing by.

Nekosimone (Inactive): Administrator. According to Halo she hasn't been active for more than 1 year so this ninja has probably moved to another village and settled down.

TacticalMaster (Our amazing Tech Master): Currently Semi-Active administrator turned bureaucrat and this wikis main coder and maintenance guy. He's got college on the plate even though its ending soon so he's basically busy with life now. He's one of those admins I met when I first came and helped me tons. Man he got the 365 days contributor award! Sick! We're great partners~

RainbowDream (Semi-Inactive) (Category Maniac):She's on hiatus for personal reasons, and handled tons of work around the wiki, and was definitely our category maniac. She pops from time to time when Sakura's around.

Halo1081 (The Professi-translater): The second most recent administrator and apparently became one when I was semi-active. According to Halo herself she handles translations, grammar, maintenance on the main page, appearance and other stuff. We're working well with everything that requires some of that collaboration, and she's V active right now, and she's awesome.

Jo SHININGSTAR a.k.a. me (All Rounder): I'm the latest admin around here even I worked here for quite a long time. Not gonna elaborate on why this decision was made. During my active period, every time I go on my computer I had to click on the NewFiles page or I'll go crazy. I am the wiki's gif handler, and I'm an all-rounder, mostly enjoy making coords, getting official info from the websites and doing some translations (though my grammar and complicatedness of text is rejected by Agurii XD) I'm now helping Tactical a lot with the templates, and I'm sure here at your service..

Rollback Users/Commonly Seen Contributors
Chrismh: The person behind the wiki's descriptions and episode summaries. She's very nice and she takes care of one of the most important jobs this wiki has to offer, even though I'm sometimes just bored and steals a bit of her work..

Abcioh12: The main person who handles all the HD/HQ pictures whether it be of the anime or official art. Abcioh also uploads videos of the CG episode performances on YouTube and sometimes uploads the Kanji song lyrics, and helped me a bit with the GIFs. She's my hometown buddy man, also from Hong Kong, and she'd just gonna come to me for help right away when she needs :3

Shadowilinise: TBH I'm not too sure what she's editing around here, but she used to be one of the most active ones. If I recall I think it was the music stuffies that she's working hard on. Now she's one of the hosts for the Good Coord Week Challenge along with me. Other than that I don't think she's doing much around here~

StarMiya: An all rounder with creativity spilling out. She's the creator of the GCC, clever. Currently, she works on the cardlist pages and promotional pages (an admin's nightmare) and a bunch of other stuff. She's also the one who suggested the colour codings and backs up me and Shadow if we forget our weekly challenges. Great to work with her. You never know what kind of creativity's' gonna come out of her head.

AguriiMadoka: Another all rounder, one of the most frequent editors now after I called her to be a judge for the GCC from her slumber. She helps me a lot with the colour coding lyrics, and tons of minor edits and fixes.

musicxanimexme: She joined the team when I was active, and she mostly helps on creating coord pages, editing the coords nav, adding cards, things related to the updates of cardlists basically, also with the images of each episode since we're in a similar timelilne. (stop stealing my job away :P) She worked her way up the leaderboard quick, but she has a long way to go~

Tutorial
This will teach you how to work with Source Mode. Before I begin, this is a little trick to help users who don't know how to get from the Visual Editor, back to the Classic Editor: Click on the little arrow right beside the word "Edit." A menu will appear and the very first option should say "Classic editor"; click that and voila! You're at the Classic Editor. The only exceptions to this are template pages and blogs.

Ok. Let's start this with source mode. I prefer using Classic Editor and Source Mode when I'm inserting templates and typing a lot of stuff, because the visual editors just missing everything from first side. So all you have to do is to click the arrow next to "Edit" and you choose the correct option! Alright. You won't be able to use the classical/visual editor on template pages because you just can't. You can ask admins or frequent seen users for help on how to use template pages, but some of them are locked for good.

Halo's Basic Text Editing
First up is learning how to manipulate text for articles, blogs, forums, and even your conversations with other users. Here I use Halo's guide.

To bold text: (text)

To italicize text: (text)

To make text small: (text)

To make text big: (text)

To strike a line through text: (text) or (text)

To color text:

To color specific links: Text Shown

Editing (Classical Visual / Source Mode)
1. Templates To insert a template, see on the right of the editing page, and you will see something called template after scrolling down. Click "Show list of used templates" and type in the template you want. 2. Categories To insert a category, please don't do whatever you want and randomly add a category like "mushroom". Refer to other pages to add it, and you should see ones you are looking for available. 3. Add features & media Exactly what its trying to tell you. When you're trying to find a photo, don't forget that the bar doesn't accept spaces like" "Iam Jo SHININGSTAR.png". Instead, you will have to make it "Iam_Jo_SHININGSTAR.png" so basically replace with underscore.

4. Headers in Source Mode To have the one with super big words and a line under it, press ==TXT==

To have a smaller one without a line but obviously is a sub-header, press ===TXT

To have an even smaller one that seems but not seems like a sub-header, press ====TXT====

To have a ridiculously small sub-header that only I used on the 3rd Season BD PAGE (seriously Aikatsu has the best way of selling) press =====TXT=====

5. Tables We usually don't make a new table for everything, so if you're editing a certain appeal page or music page, please just copy and paste and change the info because everyone is lazy, and this also applies to coord pages please.

6. Lyrics Until you're good at Japanese, this won't be important, so ask an admin or user specifically for guidelines.

7. Warning Please do not upload any card photos if they already exist. I am mad about these kind of stuffies happening because its annoying.
