Narutopedia:Standards

These are standards on how articles on the Narutopedia should be made.

Copying from Wikipedia
One of the best ways to start off a new article is to copy all the content on the subject from Wikipedia then modify it to fit the wiki, and expand on it. This is fine because Narutopedia and Wikipedia are both licensed under the GFDL, but must be added to the top of the page to comply with the terms of the license. The title of the source article on wikipedia you copied from should be used as the first parameter and if there were any additional pages you copied content from they should be listed at the bottom of the page in a Sources section in the format. * Wikipedia article on Article topic

Character Naming
Because the Narutopedia is a western english encyclopedia, names should be written down and the title of a character's article should be in western format (Givenname then Surname). The first occurrence of a character's name in their article should use the Translation template to show the character's name in Proper English, Japanese, and Romanized Japanese. Japanese names should be in eastern format (Surname then Givenname). Redirects to the english form of the name should also be made from the Japanese name, Romanized Japanese name, Romanized Japanese name in alphanumeric form (Romanized name with characters such as ó changed to o), and Western Listing format (Surname, Givenname). This standard can be discussed in the Names topic, but opinions on why you like the eastern standard will not be taken because an encyclopedia is about it's readers, not it's editors.
