Staff are generally credited under the names that are listed as in the media they are credited under, however, there are of course exceptions to that rule. Namely, some staff no longer identify with the names they were credited under, such as transgender or non-binary staff, such as [[Lex Heule]], who was credited under their deadname. Other staff, such as [[Toni Kuusisto]] have had their name misspelled, always use proper spelling if possible, though leave a note about the typo.

As such, obviously, staff should always be listed under the pronouns they currently identify with. As said before, even if a person works on a ''My Little Pony'' prior to their transition, their article should be updated if '''public information''' comes out. As a sign of respect, photographs or illustrations of staff members should not be used if they predate their transition. If you do not know how to properly write for non-standard pronouns, please ask [[User:Amelia]] or look up guides on them online. While ignorance to staff transitions are completely understandable, a '''willing lack of compliance''' with this rule will result in a ban.


Pages for creative staff should generally have a 'selected filmography/discography/bibliography/gameography' section which goes over some of their more noteworthy roles or works, especially if that work has other ''My Little Pony'' creators attached to it.
