Userbox enthusiasts can put these boxes on their user pages to show that they are a member of this project. There are four custom-made for this project (so far) and two already-existing Transformer userboxes. (Due to minor system-default changes in appearance, the most accurate view will be seen by clicking on the code text at right; the "WikiProject Transformers" text is a purple shade in all boxes.)

• Transformers (plain text, without italics) should be used when describing the fictional universe, franchise, or related phenomena:

:: e.g. The Transformers franchise is one of the most lucrative in television history.

:: e.g. In the Transformers fictional universe, Optimus Prime is an Autobot leader.

• Transformers (italics) should be used when referring to specific series, genres, episodes, and movies:

:: e.g. The Transformers television series debuted in the US in 1984.

• Since the name of the original series is properly Transformers, and to promote clarity, full in-text references to the original series should generally appear as the retronym Generation 1.

• Article names will utilize the plural form of Transformers and the same page name with a singular form, if it exists, will redirect to the plural page.
• For instance, Bumblebee (Transformer) redirects to the proper page, Bumblebee (Transformers); similarly, Ratchet (Transformer), the singular (without a trailing -s) redirects to the proper page, Ratchet (Transformers) (with the -s at the end).
• This consistency will enable more efficient searching and editing, prevent edit wars/scuffles (this has happened with article names in the past), and provide a uniform format to individual pages.

Clicking edit on the right will enable you to view and copy the source text to use on film articles. If you have any questions or problems with this table, you can discuss them at Template talk:Infobox Transformers character.
