Megami Tensei Wiki:Manual of Style

This page is the Manual of Style for the MegaTenWiki. This page will give an idea of how to write articles so they are consistent with many of the similar articles.

General

 * New articles should be named according to the subject's official name.
 * The first line in the intro should be about the subject of the article, and the subject has to be written in bold. This is only for the first sentence about the subject. Please note that the first line should be written with the definite article and the topic is regarded as a singular entity, except for certain cases.
 * The definite article (the) and indefinite articles (a/an) should be avoided in article titles except if they are used in an official title/name.
 * Avoid using the second person pronoun (you) in articles except for strategies and quotes.
 * Articles created should be limited to the Megami Tensei sphere. Real world references such as voice actors and game developers should be linked to its page in Wikipedia.
 * The language of the wiki is English; spelling and grammar must be concise and clear. We have no definite preference on spelling between British English or American English, but if a word is spelled one way, e.g. "color", leave it as it is. The editor who writes the entry decides the spelling.
 * All game titles should be italicized, except for the article title (there's no coding for that anyway).
 * No abbreviations.
 * Use numbering as according to official sources.
 * Wikilinking is limited to the first occurrence of the word or phrase.

Games

 * Use only official names for the title. The title must also be complete.
 * E.g. The game "Persona 3" should be named "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3".


 * General sections:
 * Story - plot of the story, make it as spoilerific as possible
 * Gameplay - any suggestions?
 * Characters - Include as much information as possible, such as appearances, age, weapons, initial Persona, historical information, biographies, images, and skill lists. (Where applicable)
 * Locations - any suggestions?
 * External links - priority to official websites.
 * Place relevant navigational templates at the bottom of the article.
 * Games must be categorized under Category:Games

Artwork

 * All box art should be placed at the bottom of the games article, above the navigation template.
 * See Devil Children: Black Book/Red Book/White Book for an example.
