Soft touch wiki:Manual of style

Revision as of 23:24, 5 August 2025 by Sysop (talk | contribs)

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 me, 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.

Character articles should be referred to by their full name with middle initial, if known. For example: 'William J. Clarke' for William Joseph Clarke
Episode articles should follow the format of 'Episode_XXX'. Where 'XXX' is the number of the episode

Dates

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

 Y August 6, 2025
 N 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.

 Y August 6, 2025(M-D-Y)
 Y 6 Aug, 2025(D-m-Y)
 Y 2025, Aug 6(Y-m-D)
 N August 06, 2025

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

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.
