Text replacement - "(Reboot)" to "(Generation 2)"
===Spoilers and Speculation===
'''As an encyclopedic website, there will be unmarked spoilers on this Wiki,''' , regardless of whether or not the information is new.
'''Speculation should ''never'' be on an article''', since it is unconfirmed information and thereby cannot be considered to be true.
===Titles and Article Headers===
All titles should use the full name of the article subject. However, if the subject has multiple names, such as [[Spectra Phantom]]/Keith Fermin, the name the person originally went by at the time of his or her first introduction is the name that should be used.
 
====Suffixes====
Suffixes should be used when there are two or more articles that share the same name.
 
The application of suffixes should be determined by how many articles share the same name, and where they fall on the continuity of the Bakugan franchise.
 
The Bakugan franchise is split into two main parts, Legacy (pre-Battle Planet) and Reboot (post-Battle Planet). Articles should be split up based on when and how they appear.
 
If a name appears in both a Legacy and Reboot season, they should be given the (Generation 1) and (Generation 2) suffixes respectively. If there exists more than one example of a name in a single interation of the franchise, the suffix should be based on season. (Battle Planet) or (New Vestroia), for example. If more than one example of a name appears in the same season, the suffix should be based on what type of item/character/Bakugan the article is about.
 
Cards fall under a different ruling, and should always contain the suffix for their card set if
*a. They are a Character Card or Evo Card.
*b. They share their name with other Reboot cards.
 
Cards should not have the suffix based off of season, due to the fact there exist cards in the same season with the same name, and the desire to keep the article name format consistent.
===Linking===
All pages linking to another page inside a Wikia the Wiki should use the proper inter-Wiki link. Any link that fails to do so will be changed. External links should '''only''' be used to link to websites that are not part of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Pages only need to be linked once in an article; if a character's name appears more than once on the article, the first one should be linked, while the others are left blank, or un-linked.
