Perspective

This wiki is written in an "in-universe" perspective. Any "out-of-universe" info or "real world perspective" info is written in an article’s Background Information.

Articles

Creating a new article from scratch can be a very daunting task. To help you get started, we have provided templates to use as guidelines for you to copy and paste into article.

Articles should have the following elements:

  • Incomplete articles should be given the stub template.
  • The first appearance of the articles title within the text should be in bold type.
  • Words that are themselves titles of additional articles should be linked.
  • If using a quote use one of the following:
* Template:Quote
* Template:Cquote
  • Internal links add to the cohesion and utility of The SuperFriends Wiki by allowing readers to deepen their understanding of a topic by conveniently accessing other articles. These links should be included where it is most likely that readers might want to use them; for example, in article leads, the beginnings of new sections, table cells, and image captions.
  • There are various ways of writing 'SuperFriends', but for the purposes of this wiki in order to have uniformity, all instances of the word 'SuperFriends' should be spelled thusly.
- Michael Mogg, founder
  • Tense: Plot summaries on individual episode pages are written in present-tense narrative. This should be maintained unless obvious years or past events are mentioned.
  • Shorter articles not needing a stub template should contain a short bio and a picture of object, etc.

Character Articles

Generally, any character or any guest character with a name qualifies to have their own page.

A character article should contain the following sections in order:

  • Heading: If Character is a ‘SuperFriends’ or ‘Legion of Doom’ team member place appropriate heading above main bio page as follows:
(Copy and Paste as you see it)
  • <h3>'''[[Justice League of America | SuperFriends]] Team Member'''</h3>
  • <h3>'''[[Legion of Doom]] Team Member'''</h3>
  • Using Character Template: The Infobox should only contain canon information, i.e., information stated or seen on-screen, or confirmed off-screen. For instance, the ‘voice-actors name’, if known.
  • Please use appropriate Character Infobox:
  • Intro Section: No title necessary. This intro section serves as an introduction. Limit to one to two sentences summarizing who the article is about. Unknown information or non-canon information should be relegated to the notes section and cited accordingly. Listing the voice-actors name is not necessary.
  • History: If history of character is known (from what has been revealed on screen only) put that info here and fill it out accordingly. Also, be clear about who the alias is, etc.
  • Background Information: this section is for out-of-universe information, or continuity information from continuity-related shows here. These types of shows can be found listed on our page: SuperFriends in Other Media. This section is also a perfect place to add history of character from the DC Universe (specifically Earth-One). This section may be omitted where no information exists.
  • Powers & Abilities: List appropriate powers and special abilities in a bulleted list. This section may be omitted if the character has no special powers or abilities.
  • If known – Weakness: List appropriate weaknesses in a bulleted list
  • Episode Appearances: List them in a in a bulleted list. If necessary use the following template: Template:Scroll box
  • Notes: Place any other facts known about character here. For example: history of character, creators, etc.
  • Team member info section: no title necessary
  • If SuperFriends member use the following Infobox:
  • If Legion of Doom Member member use the following Infobox:
  • External Links: If needed, have a section for any links to well-known fan sites, or other sites with information on the character.
  • Appearances in Other Media: If character has known counterparts in other media place a few in this section, using the following templates (in this order):
Repeat if necessary.

Episodes

Each episode is to have its own information in this order:

  • Infobox template: The following template should appear at the top of the episode page (when creating a new page), before the sections listed below: Template:Episode
  • Summaries: No heading necessary - Summaries may be original from a real-world prospective and should briefly cover each plotline in the episode.
  • Plot: This section is to provide a more detailed explanation of mostly every scene in the episode but generally do not contain direct lines of dialogue exchange. Pictures enhance this section tremendously. Plots are written in present tense. Try to avoid describing every tiny detail and action. All recaps should be original.
  • Continuity (or if needed ‘Discontinuity): Continuity is for things in the episode (such as characters, lines of dialogue, or objects) that refer to other episodes. Discontinuity sections include things that directly contradict something in another episode.
  • Continuity in Other Media: For more on ‘other media’ see our page: SuperFriends in Other Media
  • Cast: In this section we will list heroes, villains, guest roles and uncredited voice actors.
  • The following table should be used:
  V o i c e   A c t o r       R o l e
 Danny Dark     Superman
 Olan Soule     Batman
 Casey Kasem     Robin
 Shannon Farnon     Wonder Woman
 Norman Alden     Aquaman
 Frank Welker     Marvin White
 Sherry Alberoni     Wendy Harris
 Frank Welker     Wonder Dog
  G u e s t   C a s t  
      Sir Cedric Cedric
      Power Pirate / Anthro 


  • Episode Title: This section explains the significance of the episode title for each episode.
  • Notes: Notes are a bulleted list of objective observations for the episode. For example, notes can provide more information to things referenced in the episode, further explanations, or amusing facts. Also, things that might not be obvious to the viewer or glaringly obvious production errors can be pointed out in the Notes section as well. Plot details covered in the recap are not notes. Reviews, opinions, or details that can be argued or discussed can be put on the Talk page instead.
  • Quotes: Quotes are those from the episode the editor feels are significant. The editor should record them exactly as they are spoken. Put the speaker in bold. Also note that character names should be linked. This section should use the appropriate template:
  • External links: This section is for other places online that provide additional details on the specific episode. TV.com is usually included, but any site can be listed.

Superfriends canon

The Superfriends canon refers to everything that's related to the Superfriends, mainly the events that take place on Earth-1A. The whole series. Here is a list of things that are considered canon or at least somewhat connected to the canon.

The comics

The comic book series is part of the canon. Also, many Superfriends comics make references to other comics. Those comics too should be considered canon, but not the entire series. In other words, if a particular Superfriends comic makes reference to JLA#47, then that comic should have an article here, but not #48, because it's not canon. One exception to this rule would be if the story was to be continued in the following issue. Those comics should be considered canon with Earth-1A and Earth-One alike.

Other continuity related series

Television shows that are listed here are also considered part of the Earth-1A universe. Mainly it's any of the DC classic cartoons from the '60s to the '80s. However there are a few live action shows that are considered part of Earth-1A, and one cartoon from the '90s, the Swamp Thing.

Batman

The Batman (TV series) is considered canon by some fans, but as of now, the Superfriends Wiki does not recognize it as canon. If you feel that it is canon, or could easily fit into the canon, then bring your points to the discussion page.

The Scooby-Doo episodes with Batman

Although probably not canon, (unless one can believe there are talking dogs on Earth-1A) we are still using the Scooby-Doo episodes with Batman and Robin. But no articles for the Scooby-Doo characters should be made.

Super Powers

The Super Powers comics are being used on this wiki because of there similarities to the SuperFriends Universe, however, those stories take place on a different earth.

What is not canon?

The mainstream comics (DCU) is not canon. The same is the case with everything else that's ever been seen of DC characters in other media. Such as the DCAU. The DCAU has its' own wiki, and so does DC Comics, which is the DC Database.
