2gether Wiki:Beginner's Guide to Editing

Hello and welcome to 2gether Wiki. Whether you're a fan of Sarawat, Tine, or anything else, we welcome everyone to edit and contribute here.

This beginner's guide compiles most basic guide for editing at this Wiki.

Basic rules

 * We try to make everything simple, but over time things will come and eventually will change. What's more important is that we communicate, discuss, and negotiate until an agreement is reached.
 * Don't be afraid to make edits and change things you seem worthy. If mistakes were found, feel free to revise or discuss for it in Talk page.
 * This is an encyclopaedia of 2gether. That means each and every article should be written in a specific manner, which will be explained below.
 * If there's in doubt, ask for help. Feel free contact an admin or other members and seek for help or advice.

Language style
As mentioned above, this is an encyclopaedia for all things about 2gether. Common traits of an encyclopaedia-style writing and also in many other Wikis are:


 * Objectivity: each article must be written in neutral form, ignoring personal opinions, judgements, and/or assumptions. Details about objectivity in writing a synopsis for an episode or biography of a character will be explained in detail in each own's guide.
 * Canonity: details should be written only if they are explicitly or implicitly depicted in the television episode. Things that were theoritically, assumed, or were not depicted in the episode should not be included; whenever there were ambiguity, you should either discuss until a consensus is reached or provide a citation.
 * Universe: articles and stories within the series should be written in the point of view as if the universe in 2gether is the real world. Articles about real world (such as broadcast history, actor/actress, music, etc.) will be written in "our" perspective.
 * Formality: please try to achieve the most proper and correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and others. However, we understand that perfection is impossible and eventually this is a never-ending project. Whenever you feel a part of an article needs to be improvised, you are free to do so.
 * Triviality: articles (especially those related to episode synopsis and character biography) should be written in detail; however if they are too excessively detailed it became inconvenient to be read and understand. It's also important that is whenever something is in doubt, that you should discuss on the Talk page.

Citation
Providing citation or sources of a statement is fundamentals of every encyclopaedia. If a statement was made, it must be cited properly from a reputable source, otherwise an admin might label a statement in question or to remove the statement if they cannot be properly cited.

Because this Wiki is about the television series, thus scenes from episodes were considered the most canon and the most reputable source of article. Full episodes are uploaded in GMM TV's YouTube channel, so you can simply cite a link to the video. Guide on how to cite an episode can be read at Template:Code/doc.

Other acceptable sources, may include:
 * Interviews, press conferences, and statements from production and acting crews.
 * News articles from journalists.
 * Videos from behind the scenes and other spin-off contents.

However, blog posts, fan reviews, and fanon articles is not a valid citation, unless an exception mandated that such articles are important and trivial.

Media

 * Please make your best to upload the best quality of media; avoid uploading images that are blurry, have poor lighting, featuring a logo, or otherwise in poor quality.
 * Images and scenes of an episode can be taken, if it's important for th esake of an article: it needs to be illustrated and simply cannot be easily described in written words. Also, this site is not the place for image galleries.
 * Avoid uploading GIFs. You are encouraged to cite a scene with the YouTube video link instead.
 * Media of the real world, such as photos of production/acting crews, promotional materials, musical lyrics, and anything taken outside of the series, should follow proper copyright rules mandated.

Translation
While this Wiki is written in English, all the episodes and its materials were written and spoken in Thai. While contributors and professional translators will try their best to translate in English, disagreements in translations and different interpretations are normal and common.

When a translation from Thai to English is in doubt, you may do one of the following:
 * Refer to translations that has a bigger authority, that is the English subtitles from YouTube video or Netflix (as it was translated by a professional appointed by GMM TV or Netflix).
 * If both YouTube and Netflix translations significantly differ, think to make a statement that would abridge both interpretations.
 * Alternatively, choose to instead write the word in Thai script, and provide context for that meaning.

About Thai language
Thai language uses Thai script and its Latin spelling were standardized under Royal Thai General System of Transcription (RTGS). When writing in Thai script, it is advised to always write in Thai script in front, followed by its RTGS spelling and translation. For example: "เพราะเราคู่กัน" (RTGS: "Phro Rao Khu Kan", English: "Because We Belong Together").

There are occassions that instead of RTGS, another form of Latin spelling is used. If this is officially used, then it should replace RTGS usage, but labelled as "Romanized". For example: "ติดกับ" (Romanized: "Tit Gub", RTGS: "Tit Kap", English: "Trapped (Stuck On You)").

Canon v. Fanon
Canon, by definition, is the material accepted as officially part of the story in an individual universe of that story. By contrast, the fanon is the material which is not official part of the story, it is instead writings of a fan of that particular story.

This Wiki is for documentizing canon stories. Fanon stories should be separated from canon stories. Fanon includes, fan theories and speculations, possible canon of events outside of the timeline, or fan-made stories based on the universe.


 * Contributors are welcomed to open and submit their fanon stories using by creating a blog post or adding articles using a prefix "Fanon:".
 * Fanon stories submitted must be written by their own; if they were known to be plagiarized it will be removed.
 * Fanon writers must aware that all their stories here are released under the CC-BY-SA license from Creative Commons.
 * Fanon writers must state rating and warnings, if the stories contain adult, violence, or disturbing materials.

It is also important, that both canon and fanon materials must follow Fandom's Terms of Service and its derivative rules and guidelines.
