Fairy Tail Wiki:Naming Policy

Layout Guide	Blocking Policy	Chat Policy	Talk Page Policy	Image Policy
Hello and welcome to Fairy Tail Wiki. There are very few policies which apply across all Wikia. These can be found on the Central Wikia at their Policy Category. In addition to those policies, there are policies and guidelines that have been developed on Fairy Tail Wiki to further our goal of creating an informative Fairy Tail database. Policies apply to all editors. Fairy Tail Wiki strives to create a welcoming and fun environment for those who are civil to and assume good faith in others, seek consensus in discussions, and work towards the goal of creating an increasingly comprehensive database about everything in the Fairy Tail universe. Policies need to be approached with common sense; adhere to the spirit rather than the letter of the rules, and be prepared to ignore the rules on the rare occasions when they conflict with the goal of improving the wiki. General Rules General Rules Do not vandalize current articles. Continued vandalism will result in a block. No offensive articles with sexual and vulgar language, or racist remarks. Do not make pointless articles. If you see one, put the Request for Deletion tag on. Please respect neutrality. Do not edit a closed discussion. No advertising. Ways to stay Neutral Do not only provide one point of view, but all relevant viewpoints as necessary. Support your article with actual facts. Use a reliable source.

This is the policy for the naming of Fairy Tail Wiki articles, characters, places, Magic, and techniques.

General notes

There are a few small important notes in the naming policy that applies to all categories of names rather than just a specific group.

Character Names

Throughout this wiki, all names are spelled the way they are found in the Kodansha Manga volumes (the North American distributors of Fairy Tail), and previously Del Rey Manga Volumes. These names are official, as a note stated within the volumes explained, that Hiro Mashima provided the spellings for them. If certain names have not yet been released, then scanslation names are used. All scanslation names will be replaced once Kodansha has released the volumes with the official names in them.

Note: As of Volume 18, this note no longer appears in the Kodansha volumes, as such, the names provided by Kodansha will not necessarily be used on this site.

Magic Names

The names for all Magic abilities and techniques are also spelled the way they are found in Kodansha's Manga Volumes.

Use of names

In articles we refer to the character by a single primary name, aliases are not used unless relevant to the context of the paragraph. (ie: We use Mirajane not Mira)

Edolas names

Edolas characters are not to be called Edo-anything. In their character pages use their names, not fan names. For example in Edolas Mirajane's page, we use Mirajane, not Edo-Mirajane or Edolas-Mirajane.

We also list all the versions of a name. English, Kanji, Romaji, and aliases are listed in their article, and all of those, as well as some misspellings or shortened names are redirected.
