Notes
Pictures
- All pictures must be cropped. This is the only part of the wiki where we allow cropped images. It is best not to have a whole page, just as a precaution to copyright.
- Be sure to remove any text from the speech bubbles; although they describe what the characters are doing, the photo's caption will suffice. This is a precaution to avoid copyright strikes.
Spells Used Section
- Spells that have been used in comics will be added, linking the ones that are present in the animated series.
- Include the incantations that were spoken as well.
- Please be able to tell the difference between a spell/incantation and conversational sentences/statements.
- Example: "Now I'm tired and I'm going to rest, so if I may..." - "used" by Flora to create a sofa for her and Helia to sit on.
- This is not a spell or incantation, this is just a statement; not everything the Winx or other magical beings, say or do is a spell just because they said something while they are using magic.
- Example: "Tables bloom and planks grow bark, tender buds emerge from the dark, soft vines are transformed your way, so through this door pass, we may." - Used by Flora to turn the door into a hedge.
- This is a spell/incantation because magic is being used to change/manipulate/influence something.
- Example: "Now I'm tired and I'm going to rest, so if I may..." - "used" by Flora to create a sofa for her and Helia to sit on.

Use in Articles
Intro:
- If no infobox, the main thumbnail should be sized at:
- "250px" for Series
- "250px" for Movies
- at most "250px" for Comics, will vary
Major Sections:
- There should be one appropriate thumbnail per paragraph (or multiple paragraphs if more efficient) if space permits (otherwise omit any thumbnails), sized at:
- "thumb" for Series
- "x130px" for Movies
- "200px" for Comics
- Try not to place thumbnails in the middle of a paragraph. The best placement is before a new paragraph
Syntax
- Leave no space between:
- a template and the start of an infobox/thumbnail
- the end of an infobox/thumbnail/template and the beginning of an intro paragraph
- a heading and a sub-heading
- the end of an article and a navbox
- Leave no more than one space between:
- headings with content
- tabs with content
- Do not use a pipe (|) to change the form of a word to plural unless "y" changes to "ies" (one exception is the word fairies; it is a commonly used word and redirects to the Fairy's page):
