As {{TLoZ|Series}} has existed since 1986, the series has explored several different styles and ideas. As Zelda Wiki has grown with the series, certain guidelines have been implemented to best account for these changes in style in order to preserve a cohesive database of everything ''Zelda''. Many of Zelda Wiki's guidelines are influenced by policy, which is decided by the staff as needed. In order to assist editors with keeping up with changes in policy, a [[#Policy Log|Policy Log]] is available below. Entries are provided in a reverse-chronological order, putting the most recent policy changes first.

====Canon Order====
 
The order that is used to sort games in listings where listed media is sorted by chronological release but separated by canon, ambiguously-canon, and/or non-canon is referred to as the "canon order". In the <code>Other Appearances</code> section only, media is further separated by ambiguously-canon and non-canon so they can be sorted under the [[Template:Ambig|Ambig]] and [[Template:Noncanon|Noncanon]] templates. In every instance of the canon order, remakes are to be placed directly after their original counterparts regardless of date. Additionally, though they do not receive their own sections, spots in galleries, or categories, books within the ''[[Goddess Collection]]'' trilogy are deemed as intra-canon material and so any content revealed at that time is considered canon over the contents of the media before it. For more information, refer to the [[Guidelines:Canon|canon guidelines]].

Guidelines


Overview
As The Legend of Zelda series has existed since 1986, the series has explored several different styles and ideas. Zelda Wiki has grown with the series, and so certain guidelines have been implemented to best account for these changes in style in order to preserve a cohesive database of everything Zelda. Many of Zelda Wiki's guidelines are influenced by policy, which is decided by the staff as needed. In order to assist editors with keeping up with changes in policy, a Policy Log is available below. Entries are provided in a chronological order, putting the most recent policy changes last.

A complete List of Guidelines is also presented below, as well as the Universal Guidelines, which apply to all pages and inform subsequent guidelines.

Policy Log

2019

Date Policy Notes Affected Guidelines
February 23, 2019 Foreign name citation It was decided that foreign names should be cited in both the Nomenclature sections of articles as well as Translations listings, but only if the name differs from what is present in a given game.  · Guidelines:Terminology
March 1, 2019 Use of Template:Media Guidelines for Template:Media were created to help standardize its usage.  · Guidelines:Articles
 · Template:Media
August 24, 2019 Concept/developmental file categories It was decided that appropriate categories should be made for concept/developmental files for every applicable game. These files should be kept separate from their final build counterparts.  · Guidelines:Files
October 19, 2019 Merging dungeon articles It was decided that dungeon articles that share the same name should be merged together. Turtle Rock is an example of this.
November 23, 2019 Category template It was decided that all applicable categories should be sorted in the {{Categories}} template in addition to the previous "X in Y" categories.  · Guidelines:Categories

Ordering

Canon Order

The order that is used to sort games in listings where listed media is sorted by chronological release but separated by canon, ambiguously-canon, and/or non-canon is referred to as the "canon order". In the Other Appearances section only, media is further separated by ambiguously-canon and non-canon so they can be sorted under the Ambig and Noncanon templates. In every instance of the canon order, remakes are to be placed directly after their original counterparts regardless of date. Additionally, though they do not receive their own sections, spots in galleries, or categories, books within the Goddess Collection trilogy are deemed as intra-canon material and so any content revealed at that time is considered canon over the contents of the media before it. For more information, refer to the canon guidelines.
