General

• The preferred spelling is in American English.
• When possible, use the serial (Oxford) comma.
• Game information, including names, descriptions, categories, and other related terms should reflect what is visible in the game, even if there may be inconsistencies.
• Content should remain objective and focused on conveying information in a clear and concise manner. There should be little-to-no room to interject personal assumptions, beliefs, or speculation as an article writer.
  • This is especially true for the Trivia section. Please be mindful of contributions that fall more so under "tidbits" rather than "down-the-rabbit-hole."

Quotations

• Use neutral quotation marks (" " and ' ', not “ ” , ‘ ’, or `).
• For quotations, use double marks. When nesting quotes, one should use single quotations.
  • Example: "Hey, but Nai'o said 'yes' when I asked if I could skip dinner tonight!"
• Commas and periods are placed within quotations.

Article Contents

Characters

• Information on character pages should be written present tense, unless the character is deceased.
• Information should reflect the most recent events of the story available in the game.
• There is a format to use for information that varies due to branching dialogue. (to be updated)

Items

• The description label for the {{ItemInfobox}} template should be for the tooltip of the item in-game, not a user-submitted one.
• The category label for the {{ItemInfobox}} template should be for the Category of the item in-game (found in the tooltip).
  • This means there is only one entry. It may not always align as a wiki category.
