The following '''manual of style''' aims to provide a set of standards and guidelines relatingfor to the stylewriting and formatting of articles on this wiki.
 
== General ==
Line 15:
 
=== Formatting ===
The name of the subject of the article, as well as any significant alternate names itits subject has, should be put in '''bold''' in their first usage on the page, and displayed as early in the article as possible, ideally in the first sentence. For example:
:'''Emmy''', officially designated '''787-E881''', is a [[Nandroid]] owned by the [[Delaire family]].
 
Line 66:
 
=== Tense ===
Always use past tense when recapping events or biographies from an in-universe perspective. Use present tense to provide descriptions or factoids for fictional elements such as characters, locations and objects, unless theythe areuse past tense if it would be preferable in the context (for example, when the subject is deceased or destroyed in their primary ongoing storiesstory, or when the description applies to the character's past).
 
The use of either tense is acceptable when recapping a story plot from an out-of-universe perspective, but should be consistent within the same page.

* in the infobox
* in the article itself
* in individual notes and referencesfootnotes
 
Additionally, it is recommended that you link to the subject again upon repeated mentions at your own discretion. Use your judgement to determine if it has been long enough since the subject was last linked to warrant a new link.
