Yuzuru Hanyu article series on English Wikipedia

Yuzuru Hanyu (羽生 結弦, Hanyū Yuzuru, born December 7, 1994) is a Japanese figure skater, ice show producer, author, and philanthropist. He is a two-time Olympic champion and the first male single skater to complete the Super Slam, having won all major international senior and junior titles in the course of his career. In July 2022, he moved from competitive to professional figure skating, pioneering the concept of solo ice shows performed at the athletic level of competition programs. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most complete figure skaters in history for his well-rounded skills, achievements, popularity, and impact on the sport. In March 2011, Hanyu's hometown of Sendai was hit by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami—a disaster that has fundamentally shaped his life and career. Since that day, he has participated in multiple charity events, donated money for the reconstruction, and dedicated various exhibition programs to the victims of the disaster. In recognition of his contributions to sports and culture, he was bestowed with the People's Honour Award in 2018 and received the Kikuchi Kan Prize in 2022 among other accolades.

Welcome to the Yuzuru Hanyu task force, a collaborative effort to improve the page series of Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu to a featured topic on English Wikipedia!

Hanyu's biography article has been continuously growing over the last years, which eventually lead to multiple page splits. The two sub-pages about his Olympic seasons and career achievements, created in April 2021, have been promoted to featured articles already. With the launch of his professional skating career in 2022, it is expected that Hanyu's biography article will grow further over the next years. To keep the page at reasonable length, additional sub-pages have been created about his self-produced shows as well as his figure skating programs and bibliography. Another two articles are in the making, summarizing his figure skating legacy and philanthropic contributions.

This task force page has the purpose to keep the work on Hanyu's page series organized and to introduce new authors to our team. We aim for a uniform style across all articles, which includes the language, citation system, and formatting of tables and program titles. Hanyu's articles contain multiple Japanese terms and program names that require the use of special templates. We also developed a proven citation system that should be consistently used on all pages. You can find a detailed compilation in our manual of style below.

If you would like to participate, please add your username to this section. Authors who plan to create or improve Hanyu's Wikipedia article in other languages are also invited to join this collaboration project.

Looking forward to a good collaboration!

Hanyu's Wikipedia article in other languages

As of November 2022, Hanyu has a biography article on Wikipedia in 37 different languages (English included). However, many of them are outdated, need to be expanded, or require a full clean-up. Authors from all countries are invited to join this collaboration project and improve Hanyu's articles on other Wikis.

For guidance, we recommend to read this info page about translations from English to other languages. Hanyu's English biography article is still undergoing some revamp, but you can use it for orientation regardless. Just keep in mind that not all of our templates exist or work the same way as on English Wikipedia. You may have to consult the help desk in your language. Also, feel free to ask experienced users on this project.

Unlike most WikiProjects, the articles of Hanyu's page series already exist and do not have to be created from scratch. You can recognize them by the ((Yuzuru Hanyu series)) navigation box that is placed in the top right corner of each article. The main tasks are the expansion, improvement, and news update of the articles listed at the top of this project page. Here are some basic tipps how to get started:

• Take a look at the current to-do list above and check if there is a request that you feel comfortable to take on.
• Watch the Wikipedia video guide of our task force on YouTube.
• We recommend to make edits using the desktop view of Wikipedia (not the mobile view), and the standard editor with Wiki markup (not the visual editor), especially for longer edits. This may be a bit tricky at first attempt, but it's more flexible when it comes to tables, language templates, and referencing.
• If you are new to Wikipedia, it might be helpful to read this short introduction to editing first.

Like all other articles, we aim for a page series that adheres to the general rules and guidelines of Wikipedia's manual of style, which is mandatory for the promotion to featured status. Beyond that, we developed a topic-specific manual of style for figure skating articles. Don't worry. You do not have to internalize the full MOS before editing an article. However, we suggest to take a look at current reviews for featured article class and see what the reviewers pay attention to. You can learn a lot from reading detailed reviews like these.

Hanyu's page series is written in American English consistently across all articles. We made this decision based on the fact that the International Skating Union uses American English in their official communications, rules, statistics, and broadcast, including technical figure skating terms like "short program".

Japanese terms and program titles

Hanyu's page series uses multiple Japanese terms and program titles that require the use of specific templates. Here is a quick guide to our most commonly used formattings and templates:

• Common Japanese terms like kimono shall be linked at their first occurrence, but they do not require any special formatting.
• Rarely used terms outside Japan like hakama should be linked at their first occurrence and use the ((transliteration)) template throughout the article: ((transliteration|ja|hakama)). Note: this template italicizes the text automatically, there is no need to place it in the common italics markup ''...''.

• Japanese script only: If you need to write kanji and kana like 天と地と, then use the ((language)) template: ((lang|ja|天と地と)). This is required for the citation of Japanese quotes from print sources among others.
• For Japanese sources like online news articles, replace |title= with |script-title=ja: |trans-title= in the citation template. You don't have to use here any of the templates above, the text gets formatted automatically.

• Japanese songs with an official English title should be listed with the original Japanese script, Latin transliteration, and literal English translation at their first occurrence in a program table, using the ((FS program)) template (for correct usage, see the table on the right). Otherwise, it should be enough to mention the official English title only.
• Japanese songs without an English title should be listed with the original Japanese script, Latin transliteration, and literal English translation at their first occurrence in a program table, using the ((FS program)) template as well. Otherwise, it should be enough to mention the Latin transliteration only.
• Japanese ice show titles should be named with the Japanese script at the beginning of the article or section, using the ((nihongo)) template. Otherwise, it's enough to mention the English name of the show only.
  Example: ((nihongo|'''Fantasy on Ice'''|ファンタジー・オン・アイス)) renders as Fantasy on Ice (ファンタジー・オン・アイス).

Overview of our citation system

This guide shows the citation system that we use on Hanyu's page series. It is a bit more complex than some other alternatives, but it has the following great advantages:

• We generally place full citations of sources in the reference section, not in the prose part of the article. This makes the Wiki markup text much easier to read and edit. In the prose sections, we only use short citation templates.
• Print sources are separated from digital sources, both in the Wiki markup text and the rendered output, which makes them easy to find. Digital sources are listed in the sub-section "Citations", print sources in the sub-section "Books and magazines cited".
• In the Wiki markup, the cited sources are sorted chronologically by their publication date (and alphabetically by the publisher's initials if published on the same day). This makes the search for single sources very easy and prevents the unintentional addition of duplicate sources.
• We use a special ID for digital sources, which is unambiguous and easy to generate: Publisher's initials + publication date.
  Example: "NA220720" is the ID for an online news article published by Nikkei Asia on 2022-07-20.
  You can find a list of abbreviations for our most used digital sources in the resources section below.

Inline citations in prose part

We generally use the r-template for digital and the sfn-template for print sources as shown in the tables below:

In the final output, these templates all render like this,^[1] with an anchor link to the full source in the reference section. These inline citation anchors should generally be placed right after a punctuation with no spacing between them.

Full sources in reference section

This is the general structure of the reference section in the Wiki markup text. The only thing for you to do here is to add new citation templates either with enclosing ref-tags (citation section) or with a preceding bullet (books/magazines section).

==References==
===Citations===
((reflist|refs=
<!--Online news articles-->
<ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for news article 1))</ref>
<ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for news article 2))</ref>
...

<!--General websites-->
<ref name=ID>((Citation template for website 1))</ref>
<ref name=ID>((Citation template for website 2))</ref>
...

<!--Television productions-->
<ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for TV production 1))</ref>
<ref name=IDYYMMDD>((Citation template for TV production 2))</ref>
...
))

===Books and magazines cited===
((refbegin))
* ((Citation template for print source 1))
* ((Citation template for print source 2))
* ...
((refend))

Note: Under "general websites" we usually list sources either with unknown publication date or regular updates. In Wiki articles like Hanyu's main bios page that use many official documents published by the ISU/JSF like competition protocols etc., these sources are listed separately.

Here is an overview of the five types of citation templates that we use. The table and the notes below are a bit overwhelming at first look, but don't be worried. When you have a source that you want to add, you choose the fitting citation type, copy the template, and select the fitting parameters for your source.

To make referencing as comfortable as possible, here is a list of precast citation templates for our most used sources. The templates only cover online news articles at the moment, but the list will be expanded for magazines as well.

To close this citation guide, here are two typical examples for an online news article and print magazine article. You can see how the source code and the rendered output look like:

Digital sources

Note: For sources like GQ, AERA, NHK, NBC or ISU the ID is identical to their standard abbreviation.

For online sources, we have a separate container page where valuable articles from reliable sources can be stored for later usage. Please feel free to use that container by adding new or formatting existing sources.
