When creating a new article, it's important that the arrangement and style matches other articles on the wiki. This way readers can maintain a consistent experience across the wiki. The following standards are the ones currently followed on the Zack Snyder Wiki, and they're subject to change based on the community's needs and preferences. Please remember that you should try to contribute along these standards, but you're not required to fill in everything. For example, if you are creating a character article, you don't need to write the biography for the character. There are biography guidelines that should be followed if you're writing a biography, but your contributions are appreciated whether you write the entire page, or just get it started.
Please note that this wiki uses sentence casing whenever possible, such as article titles and headers. This is a common wiki practice which has the advantage of being able to write links into sentences without the need for alternate link text.
When creating new articles, please consider the value they add to the wiki. Characters briefly mentioned who don't have any direct impact on the story would end up with a very low-content page that doesn't provide readers with anything they wouldn't have already found on other pages. A page like this doesn't need to be created.
What we cover here
Most franchises have their own franchise wikis where this content is covered and there is no need to duplicate this content. We cover the production of these projects, cast, crew, and the studios behind them with a focus on the more notable members such as top-billed cast or longstanding collaborators of Zack Snyder's. We do cover some of the smaller franchises in full due to the lack of need for an entire wiki on the topic, such as the short film, Snow Steam Iron. In-universe pages based on the subjects of these franchises are welcome!

Preload templates
When creating a new page, if possible, use a preload template. Preload templates are available in the drop-down selection box beneath the editing window when editing a page. Selecting the relevant template will fill the page with the layout that should be used for the article.
Example articles
A great place to start is to look at articles similar to the one you're creating/expanding, and match the style to that article.

- Group: Crossroads Mall survivors
- Object: Weapons (Dawn of the Dead)

Images
This wiki shares its image repository with the Sucker Punch Wiki, Armyverse Wiki, Twilight of the Gods Wiki, and Rebel Moon Wiki. These wikis can use images that are uploaded to the Zack Snyder Wiki, so behind the scenes images depicting cast and crew can be uploaded here to automatically be shared with the other wikis.
