The following '''manual of style''' aims to provide a set of standards and guidelines regarding the ''style and formatting'' of articles on this wiki. For guidelines regarding the ''structure'' of articles, refer to the [[Emmy The Robot Fan Wiki:Layout guide|layout guide]].
Line 63:
== Notes and references ==
Use references to cite sources and leave footnotes and on a page.
===
Strive to comprehensively cite sources for both in-universe and real-world information.
References should go immediately after punctuation and outside of quotation marks, with no space between the end of a sentence and a reference tag:▼
* This is correct.<sup style="color: #3366CC">[x]</sup>▼
* This is not<sup style="color: #3366CC">[y]</sup>.▼
Use the standard <code><nowiki><ref>[Link Text]</ref></nowiki></code> syntax to make a citation, and make sure to include a References section at the end of the page in accordance with the [[Emmy The Robot Fan Wiki:Layout guide|layout guide]]. When adding a new citation, make sure that the same link is not already in use. If you need to refer to the same source more than once, the first instance of a citation should be given a unique name (for example, <code><nowiki><ref name="first">[Link Text]</ref></nowiki></code>), with subsequent instances referring to the same name with a simpler syntax (<code><nowiki><ref name="first" /></nowiki></code>).
Generally avoid using citations in introductory parts ([[Emmy The Robot Fan Wiki:Layout guide#Lead|leads]]) of articles, and instead save them for the main body of the article, where, ideally, the same information should be presented in greater detail. Of course, this guideline doesn't apply to very short articles where there is no difference between the introductory part and main body.
==== Citation formatting ====
The text on citation links should be written in one of the formats outlined below.
===== Social media posts =====
<code>[Poster name or handle] on [Site], [Date]. Retrieved [Date].</code>
: [https://instagram.com/p/B_A3446DAKM Dominic Cellini on Instagram, 2020/04/15. Retrieved 2022/09/01.]
===== 4chan posts =====
<code>[Poster name or handle] on [Board], [Post #], [Date]. Retrieved [Date].</code>
: [https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/109588165/#109601487 Anonymous on /co/, post #109601487, 2019/08/26. Retrieved 2022/09/01.]
Make sure to link to an archival site such as [https://desuarchive.org/co/ desuarchive] rather than 4chan itself, since threads are normally deleted a few days after being archived.
===== Literature =====
<code>[Author] - [Story title] [Chapter #] on [Site]. Retrieved [Date].</code>
:[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/education/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=17 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 5 on Webtoon. Retrieved 2022/09/01.]

=== Footnotes ===
Leave footnotes to provide additional information. This is especially useful for clarifying details in tables and infoboxes, where space may be limited. For example, you may want to leave a footnote on a character's age field in their infobox to explain how the age was calculated.
Use the <code><nowiki><ref group="note">Text</ref></nowiki></code> syntax to create a footnote. As with citations, if a page contains footnotes, make sure to include a Notes section above the References one at the end of the page in accordance with the [[Emmy The Robot Fan Wiki:Layout guide|layout guide]].
=== Reference formatting ===
▲References should go immediately after punctuation and outside of quotation marks, with no space between the end of a sentence and a reference tag, and with no spaces between multiple tags:
* This is correct.<sup style="color: #3366CC">[3][4]</sup>
* This is not.<sup style="color: #3366CC">[5] [6]</sup>
