Formatting and Style
Conventions
- Pīnyīn 拼音, including tone markings, should be included for all Chinese terms. For the correct placement of tone markings, follow these rules:
- If there is an "A" or an "E", that letter takes the tone mark. (E.g. Bèihǎi yuán 北海園)
- If the vowel cluster is "OU", the "O" take the mark. (E.g. dòu 豆, Ōuyáng 歐陽)
- In all other cases, the mark falls on the final vowel. (E.g. Xióng 熊, duō 多)
- The syllables of monastic and other disyllabic names should not be separated. E.g. 印順 is Yìnshùn, not Yìn Shùn.
- Temple Names are rendered in the following manner: Guānyīn Temple 觀音寺.
- If the temple name is in the form "XX古寺", then the name should be given as "XX Ancient Temple".
- For XX講寺, use "XX Lecture Temple".
- 唯識 is translated as "Consciousness-Only", 法相 as "Dharmalakṣaṇa". 法相唯識 is translated as "Dharmalakṣaṇa and Consciousness-Only".
- All years between 1850 and 1950 should be hyperlinked (like this [[1XXX]] ).
- The Cite extension has been installed, please use it for footnotes in articles. See the linked page or the 戴季陶 article for examples of usage.
- If there are no notes for the article, then the notes section can be omitted, but don't forget to add one if you add a reference to an article
