Template
This is the basic template for creating a page for a new anime/manga series. Feel free to add sections to what is shown but please keep the basic layout intact*.
Original Manga	Some Guy
Director/Artist	Another Guy
Format	Anime (OVA)
Made By	ADTRW
# of Episodes	7363736

<Making the infobox over there on the right can be done a couple of ways. If you hit edit you'll see the raw wiki code currently making it up, but another way would be to use this:

{{Infobox| animename = Test | imagelink = [[Image:Uamabushi.png|center|UA]]| imagecaption= This is the basic template for creating a page for a new anime/manga series. Feel free to add sections to what is shown but please keep the basic layout intact*. | originalmanga = template| director = Some Guy| format = Anime (OVA)| madeby = ADTRW| #ofepisodesvolumes = 7363736| footnotes = *This way I don't have to change everything around when I get custom forms working. :) }}

One will provide greater customizability for adding info (the one this Template is using), and the other will be a little more user friendly but won't allow new stuff being added to it or stuff removed from it. It's up to you to use what you want. Don't be afraid to use Show Preview to check out your changes, or look at other entries to see how they've done them.>

Since the "All Pages" index doubles as the "All Series" listing, please put [[Category:All Pages]] at the top of the page code so that it will be listed there while still a stub.

Genre

<List the Genres of the series here. To do so, you should include somewhere in this entry [[Category:Name of Category]]. You should do this as well for the format (Anime (TV), Manga, etc.) and for the "All Pages" category. This will make MediaWiki include your entry in the category itself (important). When listing the genres themselves (so people can see them in this page), using internal wiki linking would be preferred, which would be the same as above except you'd do something like:

[[:Category:Drama|Drama]], which would look like this: Drama

You want to do this part right so that people will be able to find your entry! For a list of genres, check out the Index.>

Sum it up in a Sentence:

<A one-sentence (or as close as you can get) idea of what the series is about i.e. "Musashi Gundou is a series about a samurai who gets into amazing crazy adventures!>

Main Description

<This is the real meat of the page. Put your character bios, plot synopses, music themes and in-depth analysis here. Please try and avoid spoilers as much as possible. Use ===text=== to create sub-headings.>
