==Formatting and Spacing==
===Spacing===
* Capitalize the first letter of each romanized word after a space.
* '''Only and always add a space in the romanization after a complete word ({{zh|词语}}).''' Do not space every character, and do not forget to add spaces between two {{zh|词语}}.
* Example: {{zh|慵懒逐浪|rm=Yōnglǎn Zhúlàng}}, {{zh|猫的失物|rm=Māo de Shīwù}}
* Sentence example: {{zh|像这样悠闲安稳的时光，如果再多一点儿就好了…我真贪心啊。|rm=Xiàng zhèyàng yōuxián ānwěn de shíguāng, rúguǒ zài duō yīdiǎnr jiù hǎole... Wǒ zhēn tānxīn a.}}

====Names====
* All names should be spaced between the first and last name, with both being capitalized.
* Prefixes such as {{zh|老|rm=Lǎo}}, {{zh|大|rm=Dà}}, {{zh|小|rm=Xiǎo}}, and {{zh|阿|rm=Ā}} should be spaced from the given name.
* Spacing rules should not be applied within a name:
** {{zh|小林|rm=Xiǎolín|tl=Kobayashi}} is a given name and should not be spaced.
** {{zh|s=龙之介|t=龍之介|rm=Lóngzhījiè|tl=Ryuunosuke}} is a given name and should not be spaced.

====Particles====
* For the completion aspect particle {{zh|了|rm=le}}, the continuous aspect particle {{zh|s=着|t=著|rm=zhe}}, and experiential aspect particle {{zh|s=过|t=過|rm=guo}}, append it directly to the verb.
* For the morphemes and words denoting direction following nouns or pronouns, append them directly to the verb.
** Examples: {{zh|里头|rm=lǐtou}}, {{zh|底下|rm=dǐxia}}
* For the particles {{zh|的|rm=de}}, {{zh|得|rm=de}}, and {{zh|地|rm=de}}, add a space before and after.
* For the literary possessive particle {{zh|之|rm=zhī}}, add a space before and after unless:
** If it is part of a proper noun name and it is used in a full sentence, do not add spaces before and after.

====Suffixes====
* '''Use the hyphen instead of the space''' for suffixes that are descriptors or titles when romanizing.
** Do not capitalize the letter immediately following the hyphen.
** Example: {{zh|狡兔屋|rm=Jiǎotù-wū}}

====Other Affixes====
* For the following prefixes, add a space between the prefix and the noun or quantifier:
** The demonstrative pronouns {{zh|s=这|t=這|rm=zhè}} and {{zh|那|rm=nà}}
** The interrogative pronoun {{zh|哪|rm=nǎ}}
** The adjective possessive pronouns {{zh|各|rm=gè}}, {{zh|每|rm=měi}}, {{zh|某|rm=mǒu}}, {{zh|本|rm=běn}}, {{zh|s=该|t=該|rm=gāi}}, {{zh|我|rm=wǒ}}, and {{zh|你|rm=nǐ}}
* For locational postpositions, add a space between the noun and the postposition unless it is part of a phrase.

====''Chengyu''====
* Spaces should not be used within ''{{w|chengyu}}'' (idioms):
** For four-character ''chengyu'' that can be split into two two-character words, add a hyphen in between.
*** Example: {{zh|平分秋色|rm=píngfēn-qiūsè}}
** For four-character ''chengyu'' that cannot be split into two, romanize the entire ''chengyu'' without any breaks.
*** Example: {{zh|总而言之|rm=zǒng'éryánzhī}}, {{zh|不亦乐乎|rm=bùyìlèhū}}

====Duplicated words====
* '''AA:''' Duplicated characters (AA) are written together: {{zh|人人|rm=rénrén|tl=everybody}}, {{zh|看看|rm=kànkan|tl=to have a look}}, {{zh|年年|rm=niánnián|tl=every year}}
* '''ABAB:''' Two characters duplicated (ABAB) are written separated: {{zh|研究研究|rm=yánjiū yánjiū|tl=to study, to research}}, {{zh|雪白雪白|rm=xuěbái xuěbái|tl=white as snow}}
* '''AABB:''' Characters in the AABB schema are written together: {{zh|来来往往|rm=láiláiwǎngwǎng|tl=come and go}}, {{zh|千千万万|rm=qiānqiānwànwàn|tl=numerous}}

===Capitalization===
* Capitalization of romanizations and translations shall follow the capitalization of the English localization. In general:
** Character names, place names, item names, quest titles, etc. should be in title case. (This Is Title Case)
** Voice-over lines, quest dialogue, quotes, etc. should be in sentence case. (This is sentence case.)
* Do not capitalize possessive particles or conjunctions such as {{zh|的|rm=de}}, {{zh|之|rm=zhī}}, and {{zh|s=与|t=與|rm=yǔ}} when using title case.
* Do not capitalize letters immediately following a hyphen.

===Apostrophes===
* Add apostrophes between non-spaced characters when:
** The previous character ends with a vowel, ''n'', or ''ng'' and the next character begins with a vowel.
*** Examples: {{zh|西安|rm=Xī'ān}}, {{zh|建瓯|rm=Jiàn'ōu}}, {{zh|长安|rm=Cháng'ān}}
** The previous character ends with ''n'' and the next character begins with a ''g''.
*** Example: {{zh|尴尬|rm=gān'gà}}

===Punctuation===
* Convert punctuation in the romanization as follows:
