No Rules edit

Since it is not a competition there is no such rules for this event. But you should

  • abide by the guidelines listed in Help:Label while adding labels.
  • Use the most common name of an entity for its label. Abbreviations or longer, official, or less common names are used as aliases not in labels.
    • e.g. "തൃശ്ശൂർ" is the Malayalam label for തൃശ്ശൂർ (Q163798), while "തൃശ്ശിവപേരൂർ" and "തൃശൂർ" are aliases for that item.
  • Avoid adding honorifics and titles to the label for a person.
  • Don't translate the titles of audiovisual work (Q2431196) / fictional character (Q95074) / creative work (Q17537576) to Malayalam if it has not been published in Malayalam language. Rather transliterate such titles.
