* The rules here tend to be broad and are not immutable; their wordings and interpretations are subject to change.
* Violating rules may result in restoration of the status quo (e.g., reversion or deletion of edits, pages, or images) and/or a message from an administrator.

== Specific formatting guidelines ==

All pages about cards '''must''' use the infobox '''<code><nowiki>{{Glimmer 3}}</nowiki></code>''' (see [[Template:Glimmer 3]]). For characters without an effect or flavor text, put <code>N/A</code>. For Actions, Songs, and Items, do not fill in unrelated fields.
