Adding Theories:

To add a new theory to an existing theory table, simply add a new row to the theory:

Edit the appropriate Theory article.
Go to the end of the table, denoted by |}.
Insert a new line between the last row, denoted by |-, and the end of the table.
Add cells for the three columns:
1. Type a single pipe followed by the theory.
2. On the same line, type a double pipe and the evidence.
3. On the same line, type a double pipe and any additional information.
4. On a new line, type a new final row mark consisting of a pipe and a dash.
Preview your changes, add an edit summary and save your changes.

Your entry should look like the following (existing text is in blue, your entries are in red):

|-

| [[Peter]] is [[Uluru]]. || None || {{plus}}''Peter'' comes from the Latin ''petra'' which means ''rock''. Uluru is a rock monster.
|-

|}

Guidelines

Citations:

Citations should refer to specific scenes in episodes or graphic novels.
Cite the source in parentheses and italics like this: (''[[Episode:Genesis|Genesis]]'')

Remove theories:

Evidence:

Use {{plus}}, {{minus}}, and {{note}} in the Notes column to denote evidence for, evidence against, and general information respectively.
Precede each {{plus}}, {{minus}}, and {{note}} with a <br>.
If evidence is incorrect, simply remove it or address it on the discussion page.

General guidelines:

Do not respond to theories on this page. Use the discussion page instead.
Avoid the first person.
Link to existing articles once per theory.
Do not add personal comments or sign your edits.
Do not include spoilers as citations or support for a particular theory; theories about spoilers should reside solely on spoiler articles.
