The following '''layout guide''' aims to provide a set of general guidelines regarding the ''structure'' of articles on this wiki. For standards and guidelines regarding the ''style and formatting'' of articles, refer to the [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Manual of style|manual of style]].
 
== Introduction ==
Line 7:
The code of the page should begin with the inclusion of appropriate header templates, each on a new line, in this order:
* [[:Category:Warning templates|Warning templates]]:
** <code><nowiki>{{Warning/Discretion advised}}</nowiki></code> if the page contains or links to questionable content as defined by our [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Content policy|content policy]].
** <code><nowiki>{{Warning/Needs rework}}</nowiki></code> if the page requires work to be brought up to the standards set by this guide and/or our [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Manual of style|manual of style]].
** <code><nowiki>{{Warning/Needs citations}}</nowiki></code> if the page lacks cited sources and may be in need of further research.
** <code><nowiki>{{Warning/Spoilers}}</nowiki></code> if the page contains spoilers.
Line 25:
Article text should begin with an introductory part, also known as a lead, which should provide a short summary of the article's subject. For fictional subjects, this usually means a brief description or a quick summary of their history.
 
As stated in the [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Manual of style#Formatting|manual of style]], the name of the article, as well as any known significant alternate names its subject has, should be put in '''bold''' in their first usage on the page, and displayed as early in the article's lead as possible, ideally in the first sentence. For example:
:'''Emmy''', officially designated '''787-E881''', is a [[Nandroid]] owned by the [[Hawthorn Grove families#The Delaire family|Delaire family]].
 
Line 39:
 
Articles on certain types of subjects, such as characters, have established layouts, which can be found on their respective subpages:
* [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Layout guide/Character|Layout guide/Character]]
* [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Layout guide/Location|Layout guide/Location]]
* [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Layout guide/Organization|Layout guide/Organization]]
* [[Emmy The Robot FanFandom Wiki:Layout guide/Story|Layout guide/Story]]
 
Typically, articles about fictional elements will have sections describing the subject and its history first, followed by sections like Behind the Scenes and Trivia providing additional real-world context.
