Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about Shipping. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the Bulbapedia forum and see the Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list.

Project Shipping

Scope and aims

Project Shipping covers all articles about Shipping. When developing new pages or adding to old ones, adhere to this: Bulbapedia:Shipping for guidance on content.

Participants

To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

Structure

Title

All articles should be known as 'Shipping:{name}Shipping' and a page, '{name}Shipping' should be created with only the template {{Shipping redirect}}. There is no need to put {{Shipping redirect|PAGENAME}} because the template has that covered.

Also, at the start of each article in the Shipping namespace you should add a {{ship}} template so as to warn people.

If the article is a stub, use the template mentioned below.

Evidence Content

Major Development

The manual of style for all Shipping pages are going to follow the structure seen in the Template:S page. All Shipping pages are, from here on in, either going to go through a major overhaul, or will be using this style from the get-go. Please use the ContestShipping page for proper management of all future articles.

Categorize

All articles are to be properly categorized according to character involvement.

 [[Shipping|PAGENAME]]
 [[Anime|PAGENAME]]
 [[Game (whichever one they come from OR if they are a cross-gen 'ship)|PAGENAME]]
 [[Manga|PAGENAME]]
 [[OLDER male character]]
 [[YOUNGER male character]]
 [[OLDER female character]]
 [[YOUNGER female character]]
 [[Gym Leaders]]
 [[E4 members]]
 [[Pokémon]]

If you cannot tell who is older when dealing with homosexual Ships, then likely no one else can and it doesn't matter the order. No individual Pokémon is to have their own category, not even Pikachu. If the character is not important (a movie character of any level, a COTD), they should not have their own category. If you think they should, ask ArcToraphim first and state WHY you think they should have a category.

If one is from the game and another is from the anime, we'll cross that bridge later. If they can cover two mediums legitimately, please list them in corresponding order.

Further Notes

Goals

  1. Write comprehensive and upstanding articles on Ships.
    1. This means they are to be substantial, well written (even if they are short articles), and with substance.
  2. Ensure that all hints/evidence/facts are in the originating media and not from fanfiction. All fanon information is to be eliminated.
    1. All given hints/evidence/facts should also be meaningful and not tossed in there because it made the Shipper in you go squee.
