__NOTOC__

<center>This is the '''Transformers WikiProject''' – a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide/WikiProject|WikiProject]] to bring the world of [[Cybertron]] to Wikipedia!</center>

==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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Transformers#Participants|participants]] section. To discuss this project, see the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Transformers|Talk page]].

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 series|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 series|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.
