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

NOTHING IS PERMANENT


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

edit source

Article Titles

edit source

Article titles should be concise, straightforward, consistent, and precise.

Articles should start with an uppercase letter, then all lowercase.


Characters

edit source

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


Part/Episode articles should follow the format of 'Chapter_one_part_two'. Where 'one' and 'two' are replaced by their respective numbers.


Special Episodes

edit source

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 within an article, or an article title should always be the fully written out word.

Green tickY August 6, 2025
Red XN 2025-08-06

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.

Green tickY August 6, 2025(M-D-Y)
Green tickY 6 Aug, 2025(D-m-Y)
Green tickY 2025, Aug 6(Y-m-D)
Red XN August 06, 2025

The month can be either long, 'August', or short, 'Aug'.

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

edit source

Categories are used by putting [[Category:Name_of_category_here]] 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
