==Quote of the Day==
Quotes for the [[Battlestar Wiki:Quotes|Quote of the Day]] should all conform to this standard. In all cases, the naming conventions should agree with Character Names, above. The first occurrences of all character and ship names within quotes should be linked. Pronouns (you, he, it) may be linked to clarify who or what the speaker is referring to. Linking of other words (jargon, etc.) is also left to a matter of discretion. All episode names should, of course, be linked. Be sure to [[Special:Search|search]] for the proposed quote before adding it.
For one-line quotes, the quote should appear first, enclosed in double-quotes with normal weighting and no italics (except to show emphasis). It should be followed with a hard line break (&lt;br/&gt;). Battlestar Wiki strives to be [http://validator.w3.org/ valid] [http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp XHTML 1.0 Transitional], which means all tags, including <nowiki><br></nowiki> tags, must be closed. (We don't want to break anything, now do we?)
The following line should begin with a double en-dash (--) followed directly by the rank or position of the character being quoted, then their name. These should be non-italics and normally weighted, as well. Finally, the episode name, in italics, should appear in parenthesis after a space. Do not place any punctuation after the parenthesis.
:"The line, in normal-weighted text, enclosed in double quotes."&lt;br/&gt;<br/>
:--Rank and Name in Normal (''Episode Name'')
This will end up looking thus:
:"Ladies and gentlemen, ''please''. Please. We are in a laboratory. There are hazardous chemical compounds everywhere. That--that's a thermo-nuclear bomb, for [[frak]]'s sake, so..."<br/>
:--Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] (''[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]'')
For quotes longer than one line, each utterance will appear on its own line. The speaker's rank or position and name should appear followed by a colon (:) first. All of this should be bold. The actual line follows, in normal weighted font, followed by a hard line break (&lt;br/&gt;). Subsequent utterances by the same speaker should begin simply with the character's name, as laid out in Character Names, above. After the final utterance of the quote, the episode name should appear in italics, prefaced by a double en-dash (--).
:'''Rank and Name 1:''' Humorous battle banter aimed at Speaker 2.&lt;br/&gt;<br/>
:'''Rank and Name 2:''' Scathing insult.&lt;br/&gt;<br/>
:'''Name 1:''' Pithy retort.&lt;br/&gt;<br/>
:--''Episode Name''
For example:
:'''Captain [[Lee Adama]]:''' Hey, how about you, Boomer? [[Cottle|Doc]] tells me you're holding up better than anybody in the squadron.<br\>
:'''Lieutenant [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon Valerii]]:''' I'm tired, like everybody else.<br\>
:'''Adama:''' You never seem it.<br\>
:'''Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]]:''' 'Cause she's a Cylon.<br\>
:'''Valerii:''' You're just gonna make me come over there and kick your ass, aren't you?<br\>
:--''[[33]]''
:(Note: All quotes should go in the Quotes namespace in the format, ''Quotes:MM DD'').

Revision as of 21:08, 22 December 2007

Esta página reúne as normas estabelecidas para criação de artigos na Battlestar Wiki. À medida que forem surgindo novas regras, a informação contida na página será actualizada.

Esta página não pretende substituir outros projectos ou regulamentos. Poderá haver algum cruzamento de dados, mas as normas e convenções relativas a projectos devem ser transferidas para a página do projecto, caso exista, ou para uma nova página do projecto, se não existir.


HTML vs. Código Wiki

A formatação na Battlestar Wiki deve ser, dentro do possível, feita em código Wiki. O código wiki é mais fácil de digitar e de actualizar automaticamente quando se procede a uma alteração de formato ou estilo.


Gramática e Numeração

A versão portuguesa da Battlestar Wiki baseia-se no Português Europeu, pelo que o léxico usado será o da versão portuguesa. A gramática e ortografia devem seguir as regras portuguesas. Foi uma decisão difícil, mas que teve de ser tomada em prol da uniformização.

É permitido contribuir com artigos escritos noutros padrões de Português, mas aceitando que podem ser sujeitas a revisão e correcção.

A numeração deve ser, dentro do possível, escrita por extenso quando se refere a nomes de estados soberanos: deve escrever-se "as Doze Colónias" ou "as Colónias" em vez de "as 12 Colónias". "Colonial" deverá ser sempre capitalizada, tal como no caso "os Estados Unidos da América" ou "o Reino Unido", mas "colónia" deverá ser escrito em letra minúscula, por referir-se apenas a um "estado".

O sistema decimal adoptado é o anglo-saxónico, que usa um ponto (.) para marcar as décimas e uma vírgula (,) para as milésimas a cada três números (ex: 3,600 ou 54,345,277). Para facilitar a leitura, recomenda-se o uso das virgulas. Recomenda-se a escrita por extenso de números menores de 11 (onze).


Tempo Verbal

O tempo verbal correcto é o Presente do Indicativo, excepto em casos em que o episódio relate acontecimentos passados. (Ex: Flashbacks)


Nomes das Personagens

A primeira vez que são mencionadas num artigo, as personagens devem ser apresentadas pelo nome e apelido. Nas referências seguintes deve ser usado apenas o apelido, nunca o primeiro nome (ex: "Kara Thrace" ou "Thrace", nunca "Kara").

Quando personagens com o mesmo apelido são mencionadas num artigo, devem ser primeiro apresentadas pelo nome completo e depois pelo nome próprio. (Ex: no mesmo artigo, deverá escrever-se primeiro Ellen Tigh e Saul Tigh, e depois apenas Ellen e Tigh)

Na biografia das personagens usa-se apenas o apelido. As restantes personagens com o mesmo apelido serão identificadas pelos seus nomes próprios.

Os cargos militares (Comandante Adama e Capitão Adama) e os nomes de código (Adama e Apollo) podem também ser usados para evitar confusões. Os nomes de código podem ser usados em resumos e dados militares, mas não nas biografias.


Títulos das Personagens

Os membros do Quórum dos Doze devem ser chamados Delegados, não Representantes. Embora os dois termos apareçam na série, "delegado" parece ser o título oficial.


Naves

As naves são substantivos femininos próprios e devem ser escritos a itálico (ex: Galactica). Se possível, na primeira referência à nave num artigo, deve acrescentar-se o seu número de identificação (ex: "Galactica (BS 75)"), sem hífen entre as letras e os números. Nas referências seguintes, pode usar-se apenas o nome da nave. Os caças são substantivos masculinos. Não devem ser escritos a itálico visto que não são nomes próprios (ex: o "Viper", o "Raptor").

Nos Vipers tanto pode ser usada a abreviatura "Mark" como "Mk.", desde que se respeite a numeração romana (ex: "Viper Mark II" ou "Viper Mk. II" e não "Viper mk. 2").


Links para episódios

O título de um episódio deve aparecer "entre aspas". Outros títulos devem ser escritos a itálico:

Se o título do episódio for usado como fonte, deve ser escrito entre parêntesis:

  • Ex: "AGalactica encontra a Pegasus (Pegasus)."

Um artigo de uma publicação deve ser escrito entre aspas, com o título da publicação a itálico:

  • Ex: A citação foi retirada do artigo "Battlestar Rocks" do jornal The Indianapolis Star.


Comentar e assinar artigos

A Battlestar Wiki é um trabalho de colaboração entre muitos autores, pelo que não é permitido assinar artigos. Assinaturas, discussões, notas ou comentários são automaticamente removidos. Mais informações sobre a autoria de artigos, na página correspondente.


Imagens

Todas as imagens dos episódios pertencem à NBC/Universal ou à Universal Studios. É obrigatório referir o copyright onde aparecem imagens. As imagens enviadas devem ser indexadas de acordo com as regras de indexação de imagens. As imagens de personagens estão sob alçada do projecto Battlestar Wiki:Characters. A lista de artigos que precisam de imagens encontra-se na página Battlestar Wiki Media:Requested Images.


Disambiguation

Because each of the Battlestar Galactica TV series reuses ship names, character names, episode titles and other terminology, it is occasionally necessary to write articles covering the same thing in different continuities.

When this is the case, an individual article should be used for each series.

Articles should be namespaced according to the following schema:

The names of the two TV series themselves can be differentiated by:

  • [[Re-imagined Series]], for the 2004 Battlestar Galactica series
  • [[Original Series]], for the original 1978 series

On the Battlestar Wiki, "Re-imagined Series" and "Original Series" are considered proper names for easier cross-reference and clarification, and should be capitalized as shown. Two other variations are "re-imagined Battlestar Galactica" and "original Battlestar Galactica, which should not be capitalized, since they are not proper nouns.

Because of the popularity of the new series as well as the volume of articles related to the Re-imagined Series, the use of the link [[Galactica]] will lead to the Galactica (RDM) article on the new series' battlestar. A disambiguation header always appears on this article for the two other ship articles on Galactica. The same is true for Pegasus.

The non-namespaced article should serve as a disambiguation page, pointing to the related articles.

Examples of this in use are:

Pages for characters that appear in more than one series should reserve the name in common for disambiguation (Cf. Adama, Baltar, etc.), but individual pages need not be tagged with the series name if there is sufficient information in the title otherwise so as to be disambiguous (Cf. Gaius Baltar vs. Baltar (TOS) or William Adama vs. Adama (TOS)).

Child articles of a disambiguation page should have a note applied at the top of the page (before everything, even the character template, etc.) linking back to the disambiguation page and its most relevant sister disambiguations. Keep the disambiguation links literal to make them distinctive. That is, don't change [[Baltar (TOS)]] to [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]. This note should be preceded by a single tab and be in all italics. An example from Gaius Baltar's article:

This page discusses the unwitting betrayer of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol in the Re-imagined Series. For information on the Original Series character that intentionally betrays the Twelve Colonies of Man, see Baltar (TOS).

Episode pages

Summary Section

The summary section, unless there are (at least) two distinct non-overlapping storylines, should always be in Act 1, Act 2, etc. header formats. Bonus scenes should also in their own header.

Questions Section

Every episode-synopsis article includes a section called "Questions". The idea behind the section is, "These are the questions this episode raises and does not answer by itself". Since these pages are encyclopedic, it is not intended that the "Questions" section be used to actually speculate as to the answers! Please use the Analysis section of an episode article for brief speculation.

The rules of thumb on questions are:

  1. If a question is raised and not answered in the episode, it belongs in the Questions section on the encyclopedic page.
  2. If a question is added to the encyclopedic page that was actually answered in the same episode's events, it is policy to move both the question and the answer to the Talk page, because it isn't really an unanswered question. If an ambiguous or obscure topic reoccurs (or seems likely to), then it might belong in "Analysis" or "Notes".
  3. If a question is answered in a later episode, the analysis for that episode should note that the event refers to an earlier open plot point. The original page can be edited to point forward to the answer, but the answer itself should not be edited into the page for the episode that posed the question. An early example of this style appears on the encyclopedia page for the episode "Water": "Why do the Cylons want to keep Helo on Caprica?"
    • The typical style is to add (Answer) after the question, linked to the episode that answers the question. If there are multiple episodes that add significant, substantial answers to a question, you should add multiple episodes like so:
  4. Debates and discussion have no place on the encyclopedic pages; only on the talk pages. Encyclopedic pages should be neutral-point-of-view and descriptive. That is, when responding to a question, do not phrase the answer in such a way that the question (and the article) appears to be "arguing with itself". If you find yourself adding a question that contains a pronoun ("I think") or uses a contradiction ("But the Cylons..."), then the question must be rephrased into analysis, or placed on the talk page.
  5. If a dispute occurs on whether a question is germane, appropriately located or answered, the debate should be moved over to a topic on the article's talk page. To aid others with the same question, a link to the debate should be added to the question so others know that this topic has an extended discussion elsewhere.
  6. Last, but not least, when in doubt, ask your fellow contributors.

Analysis and Notes Sections

As noted above, answers to questions that aren't directly answered by an episode, but can be answered by speculation and deduction, need to be placed in "Analysis".

As the name implies, this is the place to analyze an episode's plot or its role in advancing a larger arc. Speculation is acceptable as long as it's logical and written from a neutral point of view. Replying to someone else's analysis with own, perhaps conflicting, points is acceptable as well to a certain degree. However, keep in mind that Battlestar Wiki is not a forum. There should be no back and forth arguing. If something is disputed, it needs be discussed on the talk page and, when a consensus has been reached, presented from a neutral point of view in the article. Moreover, more than two or three nested bullet points are usually unnecessary. In such a case, points can often be combined.

The "Notes" section is for obvious items of interest related to the article that require no further explanation or speculation. These can be facts from the episode, behind the scenes information gleaned from interviews or podcasts, and the like.
