Line 35 ⟶ 34:
There are specific naming conventions for a variety of categories aside from the ones above, they are:
* '''Staff:''' Actors, writers, animators, musicians, etc,
** '''Actors:''' would recievereceive the "work name"+ "actors"/"voice actors"/"foreign dub voice actors" depending on their type of role. Examples are:
*** [[Tara Strong]], voice actor, receives [[:Category:Friendship is Magic voice actors]]
*** [[Vivienne Smith]], stage actor, receives [[:Category:Musical actors]]
** '''Crew members:''' have the same treatment, but with their role in the production, such as "writer", "editor", "director", etc.
 
* '''Places''' shoudshould have location categories. For example, [[Golden Oak Library]] has a category detonotingdenoting its in Ponyville and [[Ponyville]] has a category denoting its in [[Equestria]]
 
==Images==
* We try to use images from ''My Little Pony'' works if possible. That is to say, for in-universe subjects, ''NO fanart''. Artwork produced by staff members but never officially used can also be used, but only under specific circumstances. Fan made vectors ''can'' be used for 'Physical appearance' sections ''if'' they allow for it.
* Preferred main images include:
** For characters: Head/mugshots in neutral lighting. Textless comic covers or officially released art can be considered as well, such as with {{FIM|Rarity}}, [[Megatron]], etc.
** For places: Establishing shots if possible are preferred. Ones that show off all, or most, of the place. For big places like countries, maps usually work.
** For staff: We typically prioritize images that have the staff in a context related to ''My Little Pony'' media (see: [[Maitreyi Ramakrishnan]] and [[Ken Jeong]] for reference). This is not a requirement but it's nice. Generally any image is fine as long as its not covered up or explicit.
* '''ALWAYS REMEMBER TO LIST PROPER COPYRIGHT INFO IN YOUR UPLOADS'''. (Note: Copyright templates are work in progress - should be done by the end of October, 2022)
