Page Formatting
All quotes should use the block quote template (with character / seiyuu image color as appropriate)

Reference markers should be placed to the right of punctuation (e.g "Sally.[1]" not "Sally[1].")

Redirects

 * The purpose of redirects is to make typing, searching on the searchboxes, and straight URL gotos easier. Redirects are to be made when:
 * The full name is not a recognized nickname. (e.g. Tenchan redirects to Sally Amaki)
 * A song has a common nickname (e.g BokuSon for Boku wa Sonzai Shitteinakkata)
 * The real romanization of a Japanese is unknown or in dispute. (e.g. Niina and Nina redirect to Nina)
 * Redirects for misspelled words should be discarded when found
