| This page contains a policy of the Lorde Wiki. Editors should review these guidelines prior to editing articles. |
Editing Rules
Adding Pages and Information
- Do not create unnecessary pages that are unrelated to Lorde.
- Refrain from adding biased content to any article.
- Only create a new page if it is necessary for the wiki. If unsure, contact a staff member for confirmation.
Basic Editing
- If someone edits or reverts your contribution with valid reasoning, do not immediately undo their change. Instead, discuss it directly with the opposing editor.
- Do not plagiarize content from other wikis or copy-and-paste from citation sources. If quoting information from an interview or article, use quotation marks and provide proper citation.
- For song chronology:
- Always use the chronology of a studio album, even if the song is also featured on an EP.
- For unreleased songs, use “Unreleased” as the chronology name.
- If the song appears only on an EP (and not on any studio album), then use the chronology of that EP — but only for songs exclusive to it.
Adding Categories and Subpages
- To add the Stub category, the article must be shorter than its infobox and missing key sections (e.g., Writing and Composition).
- Do not create new categories without approval from an admin or staff member.
- Do not create any /Lyrics pages until lyrics for at least three songs have been confirmed.
Citing and Referencing Information
- For music-related articles, only use official U.S. cover art that has been officially confirmed as the release cover.
- Always cite reliable sources when adding new information, especially regarding the release date of an upcoming album.
