Editing Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu:Format Guidelines (section)

== Formatting ==
Formatting refers to the general layout of the pages and arrangement of the information.

=== Project overview pages ===
Each project has an overview page, from which the individual chapters are linked.

At the very least, overview pages should contain, preferably in this order:

*Links to any alternate non-English versions, so non-English speakers can easily locate them.
*A brief and spoiler-free synopsis of the work (one paragraph would be sufficient).
*A list of volumes and chapters for the collection to be translated.
*The actual links to each portion of the translation, organized by volume if appropriate.
*A list of translators active and registered for the project.
*Clear indication of designated project manager for inquiries, with contact details.
*A section listing the books, with the original author, publisher, publishing date, and ISBN.

Project Overview pages should list the translators and editors, and their activity status. There are five "levels" of activity, depending on how long it's been since anyone has had contact with them and if there is a known reason for them being inactive.

Active - Recently active, easily contacted.
Away - Has declared that they will be away and inactive (vacation, school etc).
AWOL - Hasn't been seen or heard from for two months.
MIA - Hasn't been seen or heard from for six months.
KIA - 14 months of absence, presumed dead or permanently imprisoned.

=== Page headers and footers ===
There is a dedicated page for each chapter of the translation. 

In general, no header is required for these pages as Wikimedia automatically places a title on the page based on its URL. If there is any specific translator/editor notes that need attention, they should be placed at the top of the page in italics. For example, a notice that a portion of the translation has been omitted or that there are multiple versions on this page for whatever reason.

Page footers should include links to the previous chapter (if any), a link to the project's overview page, and a link to the next chapter (again, if any). If there are no previous or next chapters, then the footer can be completely omitted. An example footer is as follows:
<noinclude>
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; padding: 0.2em; border-collapse: collapse;"
|-
| Chapter (previous chapter)
| Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu
| Chapter (next chapter)
|-
|}
</noinclude>

=== Cover art ===
Cover art, as well as inserts, should be included in a special gallery page as the first section of the volume if available. There is no recommended size for these images, but JPEG format is preferred.

=== Inline images ===
[[Image:Sh_v1_01.jpg|thumb|''She turned her face away in annoyance, marking the end of the day's conversation.'']]Many times there are illustrations that accompany the text. The recommended image size and format is a high-quality JPEG somewhere around 600x1000. Actual size and format is left to the project manager or uploader.

Image names should be descriptive of what project they belong to and where they belong in the text. For example: "Sh_v05c02_01.jpg" would be the first image (01) in chapter 2 (c02), volume 5 (v05) of the Suzumiya Haruhi (Sh) series.

Use a captioned thumbnail to include the picture in the translated text. The thumbnail template places the resized image in a frame to the right, with text wrapping around it, and optionally places a caption under the image. An example of such an image is to the right.

Inline images are generally located close to the portion of text they refer to, or approximately where the image appears in the original text.

=== Translator's notes ===
Translator's notes should be used to clarify expressions, places, dates and so forth about which the reader may not have sufficient knowledge. For example, references to culture-specific holidays, food and ceremonies are common, as are places and items that may not be widely known.

Preferably, a new page for each volume should be created, with the title "Translator's Notes." The page should be divided into sections corresponding to the chapters of that volume.

The preferred format for a footnote is to add a numbered link after the key word or phrase to the appropriate section of the "Translator's Notes" page for that volume. (This is an example.[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Ore,_Twintail_ni_Narimasu:Volume_1_Translator%27s_Notes#equally_excited])

Add your note using:

<pre>==Translator's Notes==

===Chapter 1===

====note name====

<div style="margin-left: 2em;">(whatever)</div>

===Chapter 2====
 
====note name====

</pre>

To get the link, just go to the page and copy the link from the Table of Contents. It should look like
<pre>http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Ore,_Twintail_ni_Narimasu:Volume_1_Translator%27s_Notes#equally_excited</pre>

=== Notes on the same page: the ref tag ===

Alternatively, you can add notes/references on the same page. <pre><ref>It works like this.</ref></pre> Then at the end of the page, add

<pre><references /></pre>

By clicking on the number, you're forwarded to the note content, and the link at the left of the note will bring you back to the line you initially clicked from.

Here is the result of that:

<div style="margin: 1em; padding: 1em; border: 1px red solid;">

Alternatively, you can add notes/references on the same page. <ref>It works like this.</ref> Then at the end of the page, add

<references />

By clicking on the number, you're forwarded to the note content, and the link at the left of the note will bring you back to the line you initially clicked from.

</div>

===Using HTML comments for notes to editors===

You could also use HTML comments to add notes for editors or other translators:

<pre>'''(!<!-- Note: I'm not sure about this sentence! Please check it for me -->)'''</pre>

===The nowiki tag===

If you would like to display special characters you'll have to put them into the nowiki tags.

 <pre><nowiki> <nowiki> [[ ~~~ ]] </nowiki> </nowiki></pre>

=== Full Text Versions ===
Once '''all''' portions of a volume are completed, a "Full Text" version may be created and linked to via the volume's title on the project overview page.
