Manual of Style

== Manual of Style ==
If you are looking to contribute to the CHAIN wiki, this page will guide you on how to contribute to the wiki without running into any trouble, note that some things in here are not included due to it being common sense, this guide only includes things that people might not be able to figure out for themselves, if the section title is Bold, you MUST follow everything on that said section.
(Note: This page is still under development, meaning that information in this page can change at any time, it's recommended to check on this page every once in a while in case anything changed.)
__TOC__
== Language ==
We strictly prohibit from using any other language other than English, this is to prevent a language barrier and confusing people, however, different types of English styles are allowed, like British English, Australian English, or other English styles.
== Capitalization ==
Whenever you’re referring to something specific in Chain, its preferred to capitalize the letter at the beginning, like "Survival" instead of "survival", or "Machete" instead of "machete".
== Capitalization on "CHAIN" ==
When it comes to capitalizing, its preferred to capitalize "CHAIN" when its used in a sentence for the first time, however, if you’re planning to use it multiple times in a single sentence/paragraph, you can instead say "Chain" instead of capitalizing it every single time after using it once, though its allowed to be capitalized every time you use it, its also important to capitalize it like "CHAIN" or "Chain" and not "chain", you can also refer to CHAIN as "IT", since CHAIN is called "IT" in the lore.
== Topic ==
When you’re writing a specific page about something, its important to stay on topic, meaning to not talk about anything else other than what's on the page or section, however, if you want to give more information about something that's unrelated in the page, please insert the link to the specific topic your talking about, for example:
"[Example] can also be found in [Example]."
You insert a link in a word by highlighting a specific word, and pressing Ctrl + K, then you can either insert a page that's in the CHAIN wiki, or you can insert a link that's from another website, do note that long URL's are not allowed to be inserted, and shortening them is prohibited, due to people possibly disguising them as forms of malicious links.
== Perspective ==
It's really important to write ALL pages in third-person, so instead of writing "I recommend…", you should write "It's recommended…".
== Specifications ==
It's important to specify what you're talking about, so instead of saying "This item cannot stun CHAIN", instead say "The Machete cannot stun CHAIN", its also important to specify who you're talking about, so instead of saying "He's completely immortal", instead say "CHAIN is completely immortal", even if people already know what your referring to, it is always good to reassure the readers that you're talking about that specific thing.
== Media ==
Media is a big thing in wikis, whether it be images or videos or gifs even. Please, with your best ability, upload it in the highest quality possible. We will appreciate your efforts.
== Creating pages ==
When creating a page, please double check that the spelling is correct, once you create a page, you CANNOT change the name back, it's also important to keep in mind if the topic that you’re writing a whole page about is important to the game itself or the lore, please do not write a page about an irrelevant feature or character, we have seen this happen multiple times, it is also important to not create test pages, as it can increase the amount of pages we have, if you wish to test something out, please go to your own user page.
== Opinions ==
Everyone has opinions, whether you disagree with it or not, but DO NOT put your opinions in pages, it does not matter if you think it's good or bad, do not decide to insert your opinions in pages, this wiki is about giving information, not trying to change people's perspective's.
== Jokes ==
Please do not make constant jokes in pages, however, clever and/or seamless jokes here and there are acceptable.
== Grammar ==
Please make sure to check your own grammar before saving the edits that you made! A very very common grammar mistake that we have seen is “Your” and “You’re”. 
“Your” is used when you are talking about something the reader owns/has and “You’re” is a simplified version of “You are”.
Using the wrong form of words can possibly lead to the reader having misconceptions.
(It’s just better that way to have correct spelling and grammar in all situations! :] )
== Slang ==
Please refrain from using slang in pages, since it can lead to confusion to people who don't understand it, it might seem stupid, but you would be surprised.
== Closing message ==
We hope this guide/manual has helped you to get a better understanding of how to contribute to this wiki.
Keep on wiki-ing!
