Feralite World Wiki:Editing Guidelines

When editing on the Feralite World Wiki, you should follow these guidelines in order to improve the quality of your contributions and help keep the wiki consistent. Failure to follow these guidelines is not a punishable offense, but if you consistently break these guidelines, then staff may speak to you about the issue.

Article Text

 * Avoid repetitive vocabulary and sentence lengths in paragraphs to improve the flow of the text and make it easier to read.
 * Use a third-person perspective. Do not use words like "you", "your", "me", "I" and other first or second-person words. When referring to something done in the game, use "the player" or "they".
 * Use American English spelling (defense not defence, color not colour).
 * Always use the Oxford comma ("peppers, onions, and cucumbers" not "peppers, onions and cucumbers").

Wikitext and Styling

 * The first mention of the title of the article should be in bold. In the source editor, this done with the following wikitext:  Article Title
 * Images in a table should be centred.
 * Add message to the top of sections or articles containing any events vital to the plot.
 * In most cases, the message should be.
 * Use  instead if there is a critical revelation or plot twist. All character articles will require this warning on top of the pages. This will also necessitate hiding the whole section with the following wikitext at the start: , and the following wikitext at the end:.
 * Use  to create internal links for connecting to other pages on this wiki. Only link the first mention of another article, unless the page is very long or contains a large table, in which case you should link the first mention in each section.
 * All dialogue is required to be in italics with quotation marks. In the source editor, this is done with the following wikitext:  "Hi! I'm Gerald."
 * The quote template should be used for any quotes.

Trivia

 * Trivia must always pertain to the subject of the article.
 * Trivia should only contain trivial yet interesting facts.
 * Trivia facts should not be useless, such as "The city has music," but should instead be interesting, such as "The music from the city is from another game."
 * Trivia facts should not be copied word-for-word from another website.
 * Images are permitted in the trivia section if they better illustrate a trivia fact, but should be used infrequently.
 * Trivia should only contain canon facts, or facts that have been stated in Feralite World.
 * Trivia should not be made-up or fake.
