Zeldapedia:Manual of Style
from Zeldapedia, the Legend of Zelda wiki
We here at Zeldapedia like things to be uniform and everything, so this Manual of Style is here to set things straight. For information on the most basic writing techniques and styles, which are used here, see Wikipedia's Manual of Style.
Below are some basic Zeldapedia formatting "do's" and "don't's."
Contents |
Characters, items, and places
Characters, Items, and Places of the Zelda series should have their own page unless it is not big enough (stub). In that case, it should be merged into an article with all the minor characters and pages.
Images
Images should be presented in most articles; images that don't belong to the article will be removed. Upload an image to add it to an article. When uploading new images, try to find categories for them and do not forget to add the image's copyright information.
Dungeons
Dungeon pages must have:
- An infobox
- Section on role in the story
- Info on the dungeon itself. Location, architecture and themes.
- Enemy info
- Boss and mini-boss info
- Item info
Point of view
All articles should have an in-universe, third-person point of view. For example,
- "Link defeated Ganondorf on Hyrule Field."
is better than...
- "The player defeated Ganondorf on Hyrule Field,"
and it should never say
- "You defeated Ganondorf on Hyrule Field."
Verb tense
Unless referring to a historical event of the Legend of Zelda series, articles should also be in present tense. For example,
- "Link travels through the Forest Temple."
is better then...
- "Link traveled through the Forest Temple."
