Article structure
Article structure goes here?

Names
Names should be written family name first, then given name. Given names consisting of more than one character should be written as one word (Chengling rather than Cheng Ling).

Characters should be referred to by their most recent preferred name (Wen Kexing, rather than Zhen Yan). A name is preferred over a title where both are available (Luo Fumeng, rather than Tragicomic Ghost). A character's full name is generally preferred in article text.

Titles and place names can vary in how they're presented across translations; sometimes they're transliterated, sometimes translated, and often translations differ between versions. We're not going to mandate one as the standard, but if you know for a fact that a name or title is treated differently across sources, we ask that you note this in the reference for the name. If an article already exists for the person, location, or object named, use the name chosen for the article title.

For example, different sources give Four Seasons Manor and Four Seasons Mountain Villa for Zhou Zishu's home. Writing the intro to this place's article, I would write:

Four Seasons Manor (四季山庄, Sìjì Shānzhuāng) was a sect based in Kunzhou...

Four Seasons Manor (四季山庄, Sìjì Shānzhuāng) was a sect based in Kunzhou...

Sources and citation
As this wiki is focused on the continuity of the 2021 TV series, anything stated in the main body of an article should be sourced from a specific episode of the series. Do not cite the novel in the article body or infobox. Information from the novel or outside of the TV series that might clarify or add extra help information may be discussed in the Behind the Scenes section.

Most citations will be from the TV series and should reference an episode. This formatting should be used in the first reference to each episode within an article:

All other references to that episode within that article should use this code:

If you are citing either of the Priest novels related to this universe, use the following formatting:


 * Tian Ya Ke, first reference to a chapter:
 * Subsequent references:
 * Qi Ye, first reference to a chapter:
 * Subsequent references:

Anything else should use MLA formatting. See Fandom's citation help for additional guidance on how to do this.

Article content

 * Articles should be written in the past tense.
 * Editors should strive to maintain a neutral point of view when writing. The language of an article should not condemn or endorse moral viewpoints of characters or make value judgements. Multiple sides of an in-universe controversy should be presented without editorial comment.
 * Articles should be written in standard American English.

Hanzi and pinyin
All names and terms are to follow the official romanization system for Standard Chinese, also known as Hanyu Pinyin Romanization, as set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Diacritics should only be used in pinyin accompanying hanzi such as (温客行, Wēn Kèxíng). When pinyin directly accompanies the hanzi within parentheses, it should be italicized.
