I've noticed that you've created a page for Filia. However, you should know that we have certain requirements and guidelines to follow when creating new pages. Here are a few things to remember:


 * All new pages MUST have at least 1 paragraph of text + picture or 2 paragraphs of text to be fall into the stub category (such pages need to be marked with Stub. Anything that falls below that is considered to be a blank page, all of which are immediately marked for deletion.
 * Pages are no longer considered to be stubs when they exceed 2,000-2,500 bytes in page size or if the specific category of pages is known for having limited information (e.g. Sword Skills and Spells; these pages follow separate criteria). If a non-stub page is still missing content, it is marked with Under Construction.
 * All images should be uploaded in .png format, unless the image is too large in size.
 * This rule is needed as Wikia's thumbnail algorithms for .jpg format pictures are bad, making .jpg image thumbnails look pixelated.
 * jpgs are only used when the file in png format would take up 4-5 MBs or more.
 * All pages have certain formatting guidelines. I.e. which sections each type of page has, the standard templates to use for such pages, chronology headings and order, categories and that the leading paragraph needs to mention the subject in bold text with the Nihongo template if it's a name or term that is official. See New Page Templates for some formatting templates to use for new pages.
 * It is generally unpreferable to add empty sections. Even sections that have little to no information should have at least one sentence of content.
 * Not widely known facts and VAs should be referenced. We do not approve of speculation on articles, unless it was speculation made by the characters themselves.

There are probably more things to mention, but I can't remember any more at the moment.

In the case of your new page:
 * It barely meets the minimum requirements, but it does meet them nonetheless. However, you should have marked it as a stub.
 * Your image is in jpg format, even though there's no good reason why it couldn't have been uploaded as a .png. Even .pngs which are converted from .jpgs are still better for non-large images, as then wikia doesn't pixelate the thumbnails.
 * You got most of your formatting right, except the bolding of the subject and the use of the Nihongo template.
 * You've added plenty of empty sections. I can understand not adding anything to chronology (though you should have just skipped the section until the game came out), but we know what Filia looks like, so I don't see why you left appearance empty. Also, if you made a gallery section, then why didn't you link Filia/Image Gallery? We've had it for awhile now...
 * I see two cite requests on your new page. VAs should be referenced, as there have been several issues of people writting in the wrong VA. ANN doesn't count as a source for that. It should either be an official announcement, magazine page, credits, official twitter or facebook etc. Also, you've claimed that she'll be a main heroine. Do you have any reference for that? The game isn't even out yet, thus such a fact should be referenced to avoid cases of speculation.
