This is the Transformers WikiProject – a WikiProject to bring the world of Cybertron to Wikipedia!

About
WikiProject Transformers was formed to foster the creation and improvement of Transformers-related articles, and to establish guidelines for those articles. Its members endeavor to produce an authoritative reference on Transformers materials, including canon and non-canon, which is easy to read and has a consistent style. To participate, simply add your name to the participants section. To discuss this project, see the Talk page.

Userboxes
Userbox enthusiasts can put these boxes on their user pages to show that they are a member of this project. There are four custom-made for this project (so far) and two already-existing Transformer userboxes. (Due to minor system-default changes in appearance, the most accurate view will be seen by clicking on the code text at right; the "WikiProject Transformers" text is a purple shade in all boxes.)

Autobot
For the Autobot Allegiance userbox, use: User:UBX/autobot

For an alternative Autobot Allegiance userbox, use: User H3-Autobot

For a movie-colored Autobot Allegiance userbox, use: User:UBX/H3-Autobot2007

For another alternative Autobot Allegiance userbox, use User_Autobot_08_07

General

 * Transformers (plain text, without italics) should be used when describing the fictional universe, franchise, or related phenomena:
 * e.g. The Transformers franchise is one of the most lucrative in television history.
 * e.g. In the Transformers fictional universe, Optimus Prime is an Autobot leader.


 * Transformers (italics) should be used when referring to specific series, genres, episodes, and movies:
 * e.g. The Transformers television series debuted in the US in 1984.


 * Since the name of the original series is properly Transformers, and to promote clarity, full in-text references to the original series should generally appear as the retronym Generation 1.

Wikilinks/article names

 * Article names will utilize the plural form of Transformers and the same page name with a singular form, if it exists, will redirect to the plural page.
 * For instance, Bumblebee (Transformer) redirects to the proper page, Bumblebee (Transformers); similarly, Ratchet (Transformer), the singular (without a trailing -s) redirects to the proper page, Ratchet (Transformers) (with the -s at the end).
 * This consistency will enable more efficient searching and editing, prevent edit wars/scuffles (this has happened with article names in the past), and provide a uniform format to individual pages.

Infobox

 * The table to the right is the Infobox character template for Optimus Prime. Note that the image has been removed, as Wikipedia fair use policy prohibits the use of fair use images outside the article namespace. Clicking edit on the right will enable you to view and copy the source text to use on film articles. If you have any questions or problems with this table, you can discuss them at Template talk:Infobox Transformers character.


 * The parameters for the infobox are:

- named parameter
