This Layout Guide is an official guide as to how an in-universe article should be structured. Generally, this guide is to be used for character articles but can be adapted to almost any in-universe article by leaving out sections that are impertinent. By adhering to this layout guide we will add more uniformity across all the pages. This will create a more professional look for The Vampire Diaries Wiki. In addition, if you are unsure of how to start an article use this guide to provide a starting point. If you have any questions or comments feel free to discuss the Layout Guide on the talk page. This layout guide was adapted from The Vampire Diaries Layout Guide.

If you have any suggestion/objection, please add it to the talk page.

Article Maintenance

  • Interwiki links: These can be useful for those who do not speak English. They can be used to indicate that there is an international version of the article available. It will then be linked in a drop down in the header. Most articles will have an interlanguage link, however, some do not. If you are not sure, please check the wiki you are trying to link. They follow the format language code: Article. Make sure you are using the right language code.

  • Help Needed: This template is useful to indicate to users that an article is in need of updating, either because it is missing episode summaries, or needs images. You do not need to add the categories as the template does it automatically.

Article Layout

  • Quotes: Opening quotes should be used on almost every article page, and should be directly related to the said article.

  • Infoboxes: There are many types of infoboxes, you can view them all here. For those on character articles, we use one infobox.
