Here is a brief "style guide" to be taken into consideration when creating and editing entries:
PAGE NAMES
Page names should consist of a character's name, followed by the primary continuity associated with said character in parentheses (usually, the continuity where this character first appeared). As an example, there are currently two characters named Hot Shot, one from Transformers: Robots in Disguise and one from the Unicron Trilogy. As such, the first character's entry would be Hot Shot (Robots in Disguise), and the second would be Hot Shot (Unicron Trilogy).
Some characters, most notably Unicron, are canonically dimensional singularities. As they exist simultaneously in all universes, they need no parenthetical notation after their names.
LISTS
A list of items from the Transformers universe, such as Starships or Places should be broken down by continuity, G1 and G2 first, followed by Beast Wars/Beast Machines, then Robots in Disguise, Unicron Trilogy, and a final (if necessary) "Other" category.
Within each larger category, please break down individual entries by faction, with Autobots first, Decepticons second (or Maximals and Predacons where necessary), followed by any other necessary "Other" categories.
