ContinuityEdit

Articles must be written using the RAI continuity. There is no negotiating this. This is a English Winx Club wiki that primarily acknowledges the RAI version with footnotes for the Nickelodeon version.

Rumors and TheoriesEdit

There is a difference between a rumor and a theory. (Definitions from dictionary.com)

• Rumor: "gossip; hearsay; a story or statement in general circulation without confirmation or certainty as to facts." Rumors are generally leaked information with uncertain or unknown sources believed to be a part of the production team. They generally refer to the happenings of future seasons, powers, and characters.
• Theory: "a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact." Theories are created by fans and based on prior actions, circumstances, and the like. They will sometimes be predictions of future seasons, powers or characters, and they are sometimes alternative interpretations of past actions.

Rumors and theories are both allowed on this wiki, but should be specified as such. Passing rumors or theories as fact, without appropriate qualifiers, is unacceptable.

An acceptable example of each is as follows.

• It is rumored that another Winx Club movie will be released in late 2010, under the working title "The Magic is Back."
• It is theorized that Roxy has not actually acheived her Believix, because she did not go through the Winx, Charmix and Enchantix stages as the Winx Club did.

Spelling, Grammar and TitlesEdit

Capitalization Edit

The following words do not need to be capitalized unless they are the beginning of a sentence or part of a proper noun: evil, good, fairy, witch, etc.

We have all taken English classes and standard English grammar has not changed in the last few years. The English language, especially in a wiki, is not the place to make up your own new rules.

Fairy Edit

Only the spelling "fairy" and its plural variant "fairies" will be used. Alternate spellings such as fay, fae, faerie, and fayrie are not acceptable. This is a reference guide to the Winx Club series and as such should be treated like a dictionary, with uniform spelling.

Contractions Edit

A contraction is a shortened form of two words. For example, "will not" is shortened to "won't," "cannot" is shorted to "can't," and "they have" is shortened to "they've." (This is not an exhaustive list; there are many more common contractions.) Contractions are never used in formal writing and therefore will not be used in this Winx Club guide. Any contractions must be spelled out completely.

Please note that the apostrophe indicating possession, as in "Stella's Ring of Solaria" or "the girls' boyfriends" are not contractions, and therefore not subject to this rule.

BiasEdit

All descriptions must be impartial. Sentences containing editorial bias must be rewritten objectively.

Bad: Aurora is a fairy with long blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. Darkar is an ugly being that lives in Shadowhaunt.
Good: Aurora is a fairy with long blond hair and blue eyes. Darkar is a being that lives in Shadowhaunt.

Descriptive adverbs and adjectives with connotations that convey the author's bias or personal feeling should be left out. Beauty is a matter of opinion. Use pictures along with descriptions to get your point across.

TitlesEdit

While many characters have royal titles and are the sovereigns of their realms, the titles are not to be included in the article name. Use their given name only.

Example: Bloom is the Princess of Sparks; her page title is simply Bloom.

Pictures Edit

Leaders: Roxy13 (talk), Kool Princess (talk)

General Edit

The quality of a picture depends on how well you are able to see its contents. If the picture seems off (for example, it is too bright, too dark, or too grainy and you are not able to make out details) it is not acceptable and should not be used anywhere on the site.

Only put pictures on the pages after all of the information has been added. If the description is good enough, then adding pictures won't be a necessity until later.

Stock Art Edit

Stock art is a valuable tool to communicate an outfit. However, some "stock art" isn't really stock art - it is painted on a model. Be careful. Stella's Fab Fashions is especially bad for this, so don't use anything from there. A good place to get pictures is Winx-PNGS.onetblog.pl. The watermarks are almost invisible, and these are accepted.

Stock art must be:

• Official
• Not made up
• Clear/Sharp (no blurry edges)

• Colored correctly

• Have no watermarks or labels

Size Edit

Example for character profile pages:

Super-small pictures are acceptable for user icons only. If the gallery thumbnail is too large for the picture, the picture is too small, and cannot be used on this site.

Acceptable size:

Screenshots Edit

Screenshots are wanted and needed; however, there are some criteria.

1. Like stock art, screenshots cannot have watermarks or labels.
2. Screenshots should not have a border on them. (This does not apply for userpage pictures.)
3. Screenshots do not have to be of very good quality; however, it must be clear what it is a screenshot of. Again, the quality of a picture depends on how well you are able to see its contents. A screenshot in which no detail whatsoever can be made out is not acceptable.
4. If the picture is a replacement for stock art, please upload it to the same name by clicking 'upload a new version' on the file page.

For the transformation screenshots, we probably will not be able to see the faces very well. A little blurry is fine, like below:

RAI screenshots are preferred, because they can be verified as real by the watermark in the bottom corner. Some fan art can look very real, so be careful.

Gallery PagesEdit

These should contain official stock art or unique screenshots only, such as a character's appearance in a movie or game. NO UNNECESSARY, RANDOM SCREENSHOTS. This rule will be enforced to the best of the admins' abilities, but if a user persists after BEING WARNED, they will be blocked. No arguments.

Sections should include:

OutfitsEdit

• Full-body stock art pertaining to the character; no headshots or cutoff pictures.
• Screenshots from the article and "List of outfits" page.(fairies)

Fairy FormsEdit

• Fairy forms that this character has achieved, if any. Screenshots are preferred if available.(fairies, witches)
• Currently all the fairy forms pictures all completed in their own form (for example: Winx, Charmix, ect...), do not need to upload more.

OtherEdit

• Headshot from infobox on article
• Spells (if applicable)
• Specialists: Appearances in movies, etc.
