Doc:Style guide

This style guide applies to all articles on this wiki. A page is considered an article if its intention is to be informative and factual about its topic; in other words, a wiki article. Examples of articles include character, location, event, and mechanic pages. Journals, transcripts, works of fiction, and sandbox pages are not considered articles, and therefore do not need to follow this guide. However, all pages on this wiki must follow the content policy, regardless of article status.

Basic Guidelines

 * Articles should follow basic writing conventions, with proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
 * Complete sentences should be used in all cases except for in infoboxes and in quotations.
 * Articles should be written entirely in the third person and use proper pronouns when applicable.
 * Articles should be written from a neutral perspective, or give equal prevalence to all relevant viewpoints.
 * Articles should be written using consistent tense rules, based on the following criteria:
 * The present tense should be used when describing the topic as it currently exists, such as a character's personality or a location's architecture.
 * The past tense should be used when describing the topic's past, such as a character's backstory, or most information about an event that is not ongoing.
 * The future tense not be used outside of very specific circumstances, such as an event being scheduled at a later date. (For example, if a character wants to do something but has not yet, you should say something similar to "Character plans on doing action." rather than "Character will do action.")
