Official Language

Being an English based Wiki, all edits on articles are expected to be done in English. (The only exception being names written in the original Japanese, placed next to their English counterparts using the Nihongo Template.) This applies to forum posts, blogs or talk pages as well, though User Message Walls are allowed. If a users second language is English and they are not apprised of correct grammar and sentence structure we can only ask that you have someone check over your edits before or after posting them. Edits that are not illegible in English will unfortunately have to be deleted. For those wishing to edit in other languages, several other JoJo Wiki's can be found at the very bottom of the Main Page.
Note: To be more specific, this wiki will be using American English . This will help prevent misconception and conflict between users.

Trivia
|
Trivia should be legit, interesting facts that don't belong in any other section, though are still relevant to the article. Information from Pop Culture is permitted, but fan speculation should be generally avoided.
|
Talk Pages
|
The talk page is for conversations regarding maintenance and article correctness only. General conversations, questions and speculations are to be only placed in forums.
|
Quotes
|
- Quotes can be placed at the start of a character's page, given they have something unique to say.
- A quote in a character page's quotes section should reflect a character's personality, and would typically not have been said by another person given the same situation. This does not apply to certain characters with similar battle cry's.

Speculation & Spoilers
|
- In general, do not add speculation or ambiguous information to the article pages. Predictions of future events or theories should be avoided, though are allowed in forum, blog or user pages. While certain types of information may be permitted given enough evidence, any that instigate some form of controversy that can not be resolved are not.
- Spoilers constitute any information unconfirmed by an official source.
- Spoilers of unreleased chapters should be avoided until they are officially released. In JoJolion's case, this is the 19th of every month. (GMT+9)
- Spoilers of unreleased anime episodes (including Opening and Ending songs) should be avoided until they are officially released. Currently, this is the Friday of every week. (8:30 PDT)
- Any other JoJo-related information requires evidence in the form of a visual representation or link to a reputable source.

Canon
|
- For the most part, only the manga and works written by Hirohiko Araki established in the storyline are considered canon. Examples of canon information include the manga, art books, interviews, or one-shots.
- Non-canon information includes anime, games, and movies.
- Non-canon information can be posted on articles, however, it must be labeled as non-canon and separated from canon information.
- If there is a discrepancy between sources, remember that Original Manga <- Artbooks <- Interviews <- Anime <- Scanlators (depending on the reliability of the scanlator) <- English Dubs (Such as Viz and FUNimation). (Original manga is the best source to use, then artbooks, etc.)
- Errors in statistics and dates are prevalent in the series, so decisions are based on most recent, but also consistent information. (Creating a difference between retcons and one-time inaccuracies.)
