Shortcut

Welcome to the Sailor Moon WikiProject! We created this project in order to better organize information in articles related to Sailor Moon, a metaseries consisting of anime, manga, musicals, tokusatsu, and video games.

This page and its subpages contain our suggestions on making these articles consistent with one another. It is hoped that this project will help to focus our efforts and those of other Wikipedians.

Please feel free to start editing any of our articles! If you want to become an official participant in the project, see below. Either way, one of the best ways to get involved is to join in the discussion on our talk page. We'd love to see you there! You can also look below to see a number of tasks, small and large, waiting to be done.

Our Parent Wikiproject is Wikiproject Anime and manga. If you edit a Sailor Moon article, please make sure that the template {{WikiProject Sailor Moon}} is at the top of its talk page, followed by the the {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} template. That helps us stay organized.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

Thanks for your interest!

Scope

Our project encompasses information about all Japanese and English variations of Sailor Moon, including:

  • Sailor Moon as a cultural phenomenon
  • The anime, manga, musicals, tokusatsu, and video games
  • The notable cast and crew of the above works
  • The Sailor Moon universe and characters
  • Codename wa Sailor V (within the one article as much as possible)
  • Use of mythology, geology, and other inspirations within the series
  • English language variations on the metaseries

Our scope does not include:

  • Fanfiction and fan culture
  • Doujinshi
  • Any other form of speculation
  • Variations in any language other than Japanese and English
  • Works with only a passing reference to Sailor Moon

Participants

Stylistic guidelines

Article structure

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and Manga#Article structure for inspiration.

For each page type, we have a "template" article. These articles should be the focus of structural improvements, which can then be imitated in other articles of the same type.

Other articles within scope are generally going to be unique.

Other notes

  • Use Japanese names in Western order—Usagi Tsukino, not Serena, not Tsukino Usagi. (This is also a WP:Anime guideline.)
  • When discussing the story, present tense should be used when refering to any event during the series timeline. Past tense should be used only for events happening before the main story (such as the Silver Millennium, or a character's childhood).
  • Italicize every instance of the Sailor Moon or Sailor V series names.
  • The word Senshi and related terms (Sailor Senshi, Sailor Soldier, Pretty Soldier, Outer Senshi, etc.) should be capitalized. It is treated as a loanword and not italicized, except when used in the context of being Japanese (ie. Sērā Senshi).
  • Italicize uncommon Japanese words (including Shitennou) per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Foreign terms. When possible, use English instead--"transformation" rather than "henshin", "voice actor" rather than "seiyū".
  • Keep your versions distinct. Begin with a general discussion of your subject, naming the things in common across all adaptations of the series. Then get into the specific variations, starting with the manga, then the anime, followed by the live-action series and/or musicals as applicable. If some fact applies only to one or two versions, make that clear.
  • The term "Inner Senshi" is fan-made; please use "Guardian Senshi" instead per the text of the manga. "Outer Senshi" is an abbreviation of an official name and is acceptable. See Sailor Senshi for more information.
  • Never copy-and-paste material from any other resource; doing so is a violation of copyright policy. This includes Wikimoon; although it and Wikipedia are both wikis, the licenses are incompatible. We can and do work with them to find information, but we must not copy their prose.

Achievements

Open tasks

This to-do list is alive and active! Please look it over, and if you notice anything missing, add it in so we know what to work on! If something has been definitively completed, feel free to remove it. If you have a moment to work on any of them, all help is appreciated!

Ultimate goals

  • Create a well-organized corner of Wikipedia
  • Gradually increase the quality of each section
  • Get the Sailor Moon article featured!
  • Get other articles featured!

General projects

  • Sailor Moon page--needs info on critical reception tweaked and added (if there is anything left)
  • Character bios - get the rest of the Senshi to GA status!
  • Villain groups
  • Info on musicals
  • Manga info

Smaller tasks

For when you have a small amount of time...

  • Cite anything you can in any article! This is more important than adding info! See Wikipedia:When to cite for clarification on what kinds of things need citation.
  • Add verified name katakana to musical characters in Shadow Galactica.
  • Change musical refs from "fifth musical" etc. to the name of the actual musical. The numbering system seems to correspond with the number of the Memorial Albums - eg. the Sailor Moon Sailor Stars musical has a memorial album numbered 4. Another good resource is eternal.legend.
  • Replace any Wikilink to an episode article with a <ref> tag containing the episode number (and, if you like, a link to an external summary).
  • Participate in discussions (see below)
  • Work on the List of Sailor Moon episodes, especially by writing summaries at the test page.
  • Add {{Contains Japanese text}} to any article with Japanese charcters. (In other words, 90% of them.)
  • Place {{talkarchive}} at the top of all archived discussion pages.
  • Make sure all of our media is compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria.

Watchlist

A list containing most of the articles associated with WikiProject Sailor Moon can be found here. If you do not wish to add all these articles to your personal watchlist, you may now keep track of them using this function. Please note that the watchlist does not yet contain most actors; feel free to add them. This list must be maintained manually, so whenever a new article is created, please be sure to add a link to that article as well as to its talk page! Also, when a page is moved the new title must be added.

(Thank you to WikiProject Dragonlance for the idea!)
