- Do correct spelling and grammar on the main namespace.
- Do give images descriptive names.
- Do use summary-style writing in articles.
- Do separate summary-style articles from list-style articles.
- Do point out specific or identifying allusions, similarities, or references.
- Do apply a temporary bot flag before making rapid edits to multiple pages.
Don'ts
Edit
- Don't be vague, generalize, or editorialize, and don't describe the show from an in-universe perspective.

- Don't correct others' spelling and grammar on talk pages.
- Don't point out incidental, broad, general, or tangential similarities.
