How to Make a Belle Page

</inputbox>

So you want to add a Belle. First, use the above box to make sure she doesn't already have a page! (If she does, you'll just be redirected to edit it.) Keep in mind the guidelines for Belle page names ("Mississippi" not "USS Mississippi BB-41"). This is also a task not suited to mobile devices--use a computer!

1. Enter a Belle name into one of the Create boxes (either here or on the wiki homepage).

2. Click Create page.
3. You'll receive this.

4. Switch to Source Editor if you aren't already; this guide is only for the Source Editor (which drastically reduces frustration with alignments among other things).

5. The guide will now reference <!-- '''Comments''' --> left in the preloaded BellePage template.
6. Part A: Leave this alone for now, you may come back to it later depending on how much you are able to fill in.
7. Part B: Fill in the commented fields.

   type=Belle type. Examples: Destroyer. Do not use abbreviations such as DD.

   class=Belle class. Example: Fubuki, usually the first ship of the class (but not always). Do not include the word "class" after.

   nation=Belle's nation. Example: United States. Do not use abbreviations.

   voice_actress=Voice of the Belle if known. If the Belle is not voiced at time of article creation, use "None."

   image1=A high-quality image. Many existing images on this wiki were pulled from the old tumblr. High-quality images are at least 500 pixels on their smallest dimension, have a full view of the Belle (not just a headshot), and use a transparent background. No image is better than a terrible one.

8. Part C: Fill in the sentence. Name, nation, when available (at launch/1939, Kickstarter backers only, etc.)
9. Part D: If you have any information about her gameplay, here's the place to put it.
10. Part E: Commentary on her starting/stock equipment (somewhat subjective, but try to avoid exaggeration). An example of a succinct review of a Belle's gameplay in this section is Moskva.
11. Part F: This template stays unless you also begin to fill out the detail page for the Belle whose page you're writing.
