This is the Transformers WikiProject – a WikiProject to bring the world of Cybertron to Wikipedia!

About

WikiProject Transformers was formed to foster the creation and improvement of Transformers-related articles, and to establish guidelines for those articles. Its members endeavor to produce an authoritative reference on Transformers materials, including canon and non-canon, which is easy to read and has a consistent style. To participate, simply add your name to the participants section. To discuss this project, see the Talk page.

To do

Template:Mbox

Userboxes

Userbox enthusiasts can put these boxes on their user pages to show that they are a member of this project. There are four custom-made for this project (so far) and two already-existing Transformer userboxes. (Due to minor system-default changes in appearance, the most accurate view will be seen by clicking on the code text at right; the "WikiProject Transformers" text is a purple shade in all boxes.)

Style and format

General

  • Transformers (plain text, without italics) should be used when describing the fictional universe, franchise, or related phenomena:
e.g. The Transformers franchise is one of the most lucrative in television history.
e.g. In the Transformers fictional universe, Optimus Prime is an Autobot leader.
  • Transformers (italics) should be used when referring to specific series, genres, episodes, and movies:
e.g. The Transformers television series debuted in the US in 1984.
  • Since the name of the original series is properly Transformers, and to promote clarity, full in-text references to the original series should generally appear as the retronym Generation 1.

Wikilinks/article names

  • Article names will utilize the plural form of Transformers and the same page name with a singular form, if it exists, will redirect to the plural page.
  • For instance, Bumblebee (Transformer) redirects to the proper page, Bumblebee (Transformers); similarly, Ratchet (Transformer), the singular (without a trailing -s) redirects to the proper page, Ratchet (Transformers) (with the -s at the end).
  • This consistency will enable more efficient searching and editing, prevent edit wars/scuffles (this has happened with article names in the past), and provide a uniform format to individual pages.

Infobox
