BFF Study Guide: Tutorial for Sucessful Articles!


 * If you need further help, please contact my talk page.

Hello, and welcome! I am Head Admin Seireitou, here to assist you with designing Character articles, with a few other additional tips for making successful articles! Read this carefully, and it will allow you to understand how we create and organize our work here on Bleach Fan Fiction Wikia.

Character Organization
First things first, before starting the meat of your character, you will need a few key components first. In order to prevent others from stealing your work, you will need a property tag. Look above, the green bar that states This article, BFF Study Guide: Tutorial for Successful Articles!, is property of Seireitou. is the property tag. This will ALWAYS be the first thing you add to your article. Put together . Therefore, when the article is saved, it should read This article, [Insert Article Name], is under the property of [Your Username].

Second! Add in the Infobox! It is a crucial part of your character article, which allows you to format basic information about your character's age, birthday, teammates, Zanpakutō name and such. For each species, we have a different infobox. These four are the basic four species that are within Bleach, and as such, will usually work best. Even if your character is not one of the above species, using one of the infoboxes will be allowed; merely go to the race part of it, and list in the race, instead of filling it with Shinigami. '''NOTE: THESE TEMPLATES ARE NOT TO BE EDITTED. YOU COPY OVER THE INFOBOX TEMPLATE IN THE BOX, AND USE THAT IN YOUR ARTICLE.'''
 * Template:Bleach Character Infobox (Human) -> Human
 * Template:Bleach Character Infobox (Shinigami) -> Shinigami
 * Template:Bleach Character Infobox (Arrancar)/Version 2 -> Arrancar
 * Template:Bleach Character Infobox (Vizard) -> Vizard

Finally, we're on the homestrech of the basic article skin! Underneath the Infobox, we must list the Thesis. For many of you high-school, college-bound, and actual college students out there, you all know what a thesis part of an essay is. For those who are unaware, it is the beginning paragraph which addresses the main focus of your essay. This is what the Thesis is in Character articles. It presents the name in bold, followed by the kanji (japanese characters for that person's name), and possibly the translation. An example would be Seireitou Kawahiru's Thesis.

Seireitou Kawahiru (瀞霊冬川平, Kawahiru Seireitō; literally "guardian of the spirit")

Remember! In Japanese, last names are listed before first names! Important stuff!

Excellent everybody! Once you have these three pieces, save your article. It should have the green bar with your name, the infobox with the picture and information. And your basic thesis statement. This is the bareback cover of your article, but no worries! We will add the meat to it soon!
