This is a manual that dictates how things should be formatted to create a cohesive look for the wiki. The most important thing about the style is that <div style="text-align:center;">'''NOTHING IS PERMANENT''' </div> This wiki is meant to be modified by the community. That's the entire point of a wiki! So if there is a consensus on what the wiki should look like. It will be so This initial Manual of Style is a complete arbitrary decision by the admin == General Wiki Information == ===Article Titles=== Article titles should be concise, straightforward, consistent, and precise. Articles should start with an uppercase letter, then all lowercase. ====Characters==== Character articles should be referred to by their first and last name. For example: 'William Clarke' for 'William Joseph Clarke'. Though the characters full name should be in their infobox<br> ====Episodes==== Part/Episode articles should follow the format of 'Chapter_one_part_two'. Where 'one' and 'two' are replaced by their respective numbers. ====Special Episodes==== Special episodes should be named as 'Special_episode_name_of_episode'. For example 'Special episode: Summons' The article is 'Special_episode_summons' Or if they have parts, 'Special_episode_summons_part_one' ===Dates=== Dates within an article, or an article title should always be the fully written out word. <i> {{tick}} August 6, 2025<br> {{cross}} 2025-08-06 </i> When using dates in an article, any order of Date-Month-Year is acceptable, as long as it is written out. Do not use a leading zero for numbers in the single digits. <i> {{tick}} August 6, 2025(M-D-Y)<br> {{tick}} 6 Aug, 2025(D-m-Y)<br> {{tick}} 2025, Aug 6(Y-m-D)<br> {{cross}} August 06, 2025<br> </i> The month can be either long, '<i>August</i>', or short, <i>'Aug'</i>. For Date published, and Date completed in infoboxes, only use M-D-Y If you're using numbers outside of an article context, and wish to use a number only format, Only use Y-M-D. And always include leading zeros. ===Categories=== Categories are used by putting <nowiki>[[Category:Name_of_category_here]]</nowiki> at the top of the article. Categories are useful in making sure that locations, characters, and other articles can be located, and arent stranded in wiki abyss. With no links. If a category doesn't exist, but you think it should. Feel free to do so! The most common categories that should be used for most articles that will be created will be * [[:Category:Locations|[[Category:Locations]]]] * [[:Category:Characters|[[Category:Characters]]]] * [[:Category:Chapters|[[Category:Chapters]]]] * [[:Category:Episodes|[[Category:Episodes]]]] ==Specific Page Templates/Examples== <div style="font-size:large"> * [[Soft_Touch_Wiki:Manual_of_style/Character_example|Character example article]] * [[Soft_Touch_Wiki:Manual_of_style/Chapter_example|Chapter example article]] * [[Soft_Touch_Wiki:Manual_of_style/Episode_example|Episode example article]] </div>
