Line 7:
Please take care to use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. You are not expected to be a professional writer with knowledge of all the intricacies of the English language, but you are still expected to write in a formal, clean, objective and coherent manner to the best of your ability.
Prefer to use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English American English], as it is the language of this wiki's [[Emmy the Robot (webcomic)|main canon source material]] as well as the primary language of its fan community. The use of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma Oxford comma] is encouraged, but not mandated.
=== Capitalization ===
Line 18:
:'''Emmy''', officially designated '''787-E881''', is a [[Nandroid]] owned by the [[Delaire family]].
Story titles should be put in ''italics'', for example: ''[[Emmy the Robot (webcomic)|Emmy the Robot]]'', ''[[Three Nines Fine]]''. In combination with the above guideline, the first usage of the title of a story on its page should be put in both bold and italics:
:'''''Emmy the Robot''''' is a webcomic created by Dominic Cellini.
Line 26:
== Perspective ==
Do not mix '''in-universe''' and '''out-of-universe''' perspectives.
* "[[Emmy]] is a [[Nandroid]] owned by the [[Hawthorn Grove families#The Delaire family|Delaire family]]" is an example of a sentence written from an in-universe perspective.
* "[[Emmy]] is the main character of Dominic Cellini's webcomic ''[[Emmy the Robot (webcomic)|Emmy the Robot]]''" is an example of a sentence written from an out-of-universe perspective.
=== In-universe perspective ===
Line 35:
However, limited breaking of the in-universe perspective is acceptable in situations where it is necessary to specify which piece of information comes from where, in particular:
* When the page contains information from both [[:Category:Canon|canon]] and [[:Category:Fanon|fanon]] sources, for example: "In canon, all Nandroids have blue optics, whereas in fanon, some Nandroids have green and other colors of optics."
* When the page contains information from multiple conflicting sources, for example: "In ''[[Stress Test Anon]]'', [[Lulu]] and [[Anonymous Leeroy Doe|Anon]] live in a small house, whereas in ''[[Lulu the Nandroid]]'', they live in an apartment."
Line 123:
== Images ==
Images should be used to provide a visual reference for the topic of the article or to illustrate information discussed within that article. Images should be used sparingly throughout an article, with a section near the end specifically for a gallery if there are many to share.
