Multiple pages on the wiki have the same namesake. In order to avoid confusion between different articles with similar titles, tags and disambiguation pages are used.

TagsEdit

Tags are text in parentheses that come after an article name. The words within the parentheses serve to differentiate that particular article from other pages. This is most often used for enemies with reoccurring appearances.

For example, there are several different pages about the Yellow Jelly enemy. The tag after the words "Yellow Jelly" indicates the game in which that page refers to.

• Yellow Jelly (Final Fantasy II)
• Yellow Jelly (Final Fantasy IV)

This is a partial list of the various tags used at the Final Fantasy Wiki:

• Games - As exemplified above, tags used to differentiate between main-series games contain the full game name in parentheses. An example is (Final Fantasy IX). Spinoffs, however, are exceptions, and the tags used are listed below.

• Summons - Certain entities may appear as regular enemies or as summons in different games. The tag (Summon) is used to differentiate a page about a summon from a regular enemy page.

• Weapons - The tag (Weapon) is used when a particular title may refer to a weapon or class of weapons in addition to an enemy or character.

• Enemies - Used in tandem with the (Weapon) and (Summon) tags, among others, the (Enemy) tag refers to an standard enemy page.

List of TagsEdit

The following are the list of tags used on the Wiki. If you want to use something beside these, bring it up on the article's talk page.

• (Final Fantasy [Insert roman numeral here]) - For articles where the content is only about a single game, like Knight (Final Fantasy III) and Knight (Final Fantasy V). Can be anything from a job to an enemy. However, don't use it for Summons, Weapons, or anything else that might have a chance of becoming a recurring feature in the series. In these cases, use one of the following instead.
• (Character) - For characters whose names are used elsewhere in a different fashion, like Shera (Character) compared to Shera (Airship).
• (Race) - For recurring race/species articles, like Bomb (Race).
• (Location) - For recurring location articles, like Healing Spring (Location).
• (Summon) - Use the (Summon) tag for all summons, e.g. Carbuncle (Summon). Originally there were tags like (Esper), but they were moved to (Summon), to avoid the chance that the summon might become recurring.
• (Enemy)/(Boss)/(Final Boss) - To avoid a perfectly clean page from being clogged up by enemy templates, it's best to put them on separate pages. Enemy is used for recurring enemies like Lamia (Enemy), while Boss is used for main characters who are also bosses, since enemy template usually clog an article and make it look unsightly. Final Boss is only used to separate final boss information from the same boss if fought earlier in the game, like Kefka (Boss) and Kefka (Final Boss).
• (Weapon)/(Equipment) - Pretty simple to guess what these are for. Examples are Sword (Weapon) and Shield (Equipment).
• (Command) - For command pages, like Magic (Command). This is different from articles with the "Ability" tag as "Commands" are usually top-level commands which open up into a sub-menu of abilities.
• (Status) - For a status page, like Invincible (Status).
• (Ability) - For an ability, like Morph (Ability).
• (Stat) - For a stats page, like Brave (Stat).
• (Term) - For recurring terms in the series, like Magic (Term).

If two pages would have conflicting tags, but shouldn't share a page, then tags are combined. For example, both Garland (Final Fantasy) and Garland (Final Fantasy IX) need a boss page, but who gets the (Boss) tag? Neither, instead you make a fusion and create Garland (Final Fantasy Boss) and Garland (Final Fantasy IX Boss). This is only used if neither page is allowed the tag on its own.

Disambiguation pagesEdit

Disambiguation pages are used to organize pages with the same title but different tags. They merely serve as a place to help redirect to a more specific page, and are titled without any tags.

A disambiguation will be structured as such:

• The title of the disambiguation page is bolded, followed by the words, "may refer to:"

• Bullets are created to list the various articles that have the same title as the disambiguation page, but different tags.

• The Disambiguation Template is placed at the bottom of the page.

The result will look something like this:

---

Title of disambiguation page may refer to:

• Link to first tag
• Link to second tag
• Link to third tag
• etc.

{{disambig}}

---

except that the disambiguation template will be written out.

For an example of a disambiguation page, let us go back to the Yellow Jelly enemy. Since there are multiple pages with the base "Yellow Jelly" title, the disambiguation page Yellow Jelly is created. In it, links to the Yellow Jelly (Final Fantasy II) and Yellow Jelly (Final Fantasy IV) pages are provided, among others.

Disambiguation pages should not be linked to. Instead, link to the proper page with the appropriate tag. When creating a new page, please do a quick search of the wiki to determine if another page with the same title exists. Add the appropriate tag to your new page, and make sure the disambiguation page links to it.

EtymologyEdit

When possible, an Etymology section should be included in articles. However, because of the nature of the series, where references to certain terms remain vague and not clarified by the game developers, the sentence should not imply that the developers indeed refer to the terms as reference to their ideas - unless this can be clarified. An external link, preferably to Wikipedia, is also encouraged.

Examples:

• Good: Belias is another name for {{w|Belial}}, an evil demon in the Christian Bible.
• Bad: Belias is named after {{w|Belial}}, an evil demon in the Christian Bible.

Etymologies should also be included on the disambiguation page and not on any of the specific pages, unless the etymology is specific to that article. The etymology section should come after the list but before the template.
