35px General

Please follow the guidelines on this page. Korean Romanization should be used as little as possible except in beginners sections only. Try at all costs to avoid Romanization in other sections unless absolutely necessary. If you must Romanize, use the [Revised Romanization of Korean] system.

35px Naming Pages

+ symbol usage use 요 in page names when necessary no spaces between slashes no subject or object markers, if it's necessary list it on the page's content, not in the title Optional things, i.e. 이럴 수(가) 있다.. make the main page have the optional thing, then make a similar redirect without it. For 아/어/여 pattern, just use 아/어 for other patterns.

35px Sentence Examples

• Please use basic Korean names in the examples to avoid confusion for beginners. Name usages in examples, 철수, 영희, my brother, sister, etc.
• Use full sentences, and all markers(subject, object, particles etc)

35px Posting Audio

• The audio must in mp3 format. No other formats allowed, especially the .ogg format used on wikipedia.
• Mp3s must be encoded at 11.025 kHz, 22.050 kHz, or 44.100 kHz otherwise they won't play properly. This is an error from 1 Pixel Out Audio player.
• Please do not encode at a really high biterate unless absolutely necessary.
• Please use the default parameters provided after clicking on the "mp3" button in the toolbar so the player is blue and red always, such as:
  <flashmp3>filename.mp3|leftbg=003478|rightbg=c60c30|lefticon=ffffff|righticon=ffffff</flashmp3>
• See the How to make an mp3 page in the help section for more for more.

35px Finding characters

The characters are categorised by image type and variant:

Each character also has its own category (e.g. ) You can look up a character with this form: <inputbox> type=search width=4 break=no namespaces=Category searchbuttonlabel=Look up character </inputbox>

35px Categorizing and Sorting

• If (으)ㄴ / (으)ㄹ sort by ㄴ and ㄹ respectively, not by ㅇ
• If you don't sort it manually it will sort wrong and sort it under 도 instead of ㄷ
• If the first letters are A/V or N, don't sort it by that, but instead the first Korean letter.

35px Creating Redirects

Joining the team is easy: just join our work! You can contribute images, or verify stroke orders. See our graphics guidelines and stroke order sources for more.

Collaboration is organised on the road-map page. Drop us a line if you have any questions. :-D

35px Grammars with multiple usages

• If a grammar pattern has a lot of usages, separate them into different pages. Make a disambiguation page that links to all of them.
• If a grammar pattern has a few different usages, they can fit onto one page broken into two sections.

35px Colors

We try to use the same colors from the Korean flag and the Seoul subway lines. If you are going to style anything with colors, please choose from a shade from the table below. Templates have been created so you can memorize the line number instead of having to keep looking up the color code.
