Role-Play: Heroes and Villains Wiki:Manual of Style

## General

Read these rules. If there is anything even *remotely* confusing ask me, @TabbyCallie#4608/User:TabbyCallie.

I highly suggest becoming more comfortable with wikia before attempting to complete pages. If you're starting out, I will be critiquing.

If you need a space to fiddle around please go here: Community Test Wikia

## Layout

How the information should be presented.

KEY:

* This bullet point means that header should be: Heading 2 (surrounded by "==" if you use source editor) Heading 2 has the underline.
	+ This bullet point means that header should be: Heading 3 (surrounded by "===" if you use source editor)

### Character Pages

* **Infobox** - Use the Character infobox ONLY. Any others will either not work or are outdated.
* **Personality** - Personality/Mentality section.
* **Backstory** - Backstory AKA History section.
* **Resources** - Resources section.
	+ **Equipment/Weaponry** - Guns/Swords/Armor that kind of stuff.
	+ **Specializations** - Combat, other training, hacking...
* **Quirk** - The power.
	+ **Versatility** - The explanation of the quirk, and how flexible it is.
	+ **Example** - Only to be used for an actual example. If it's an explanation of the quirk, do NOT put it under example (even if the person did)

### Guild Pages

* **Infobox** - Use Guild infobox ONLY. Don't use the character infobox.
* **NAME** - The name of the guild, and what the guild is.
	+ **Purpose** - Purpose section
* **Wages** - Percentage cut of wages
* **Resources**- Resouces/Property section.
* **Headquarters** - HQ
* **Strength**- Average ranking

### Places

* **Location** - Where is it located?

Then feel free to take some artistic liberties. As long as it is legible, holds all the information and is comfortably spaced out.

## Page Creation

### Categories

Each character page requires categories. If you do not know how to add a category, click this link: Community Help on Categories

Below are the categories for character pages:

* Category:All Characters (every Character page MUST have this. If it doesn't, assume it still needs to be reformatted)
* Category:OC/Category:NPC
* Category:Villains/Category:Rogues/Category:Heroes
* Category:OC Villains/Category:OC Rogues/Category:OC Heroes/Category:NPC Villains/Category:NPC Rogues/Category:NPC Heroes
* (If applicable) Category:1st Year Student/Category:2nd Year Student/Category:3rd Year Student/Category:4th Year Student

Guilds should have the category Category:Guilds

And places should be in Category:World, which is further categorized into Category:Providence and Category:WayHaven

### Images

Community Help on Images

**Naming conventions:**

* The name should always, ALWAYS start with the person's character.
* **Don't** use spaces, or special characters like ['] or [-]
* Add a descriptor like Suit or Sword, Civilian, Rogue/Hero/Villain.
* Examples: AlexandriaBusiness.png, AlexandriaCasual.png, AlexandriaQuirkOff.png, AlexandriaQuirkOn.png
* If there is no way to describe it as different, use numbers (Alexandria2.png) use this as a LAST RESORT.

### Guilds

For each guild, a new character guild template should be made.

This is what makes the infoboxes of people in guilds colored.

This also means, for every person added/removed from the guild you must change their status by **both removing them from the guild page and changing their character template**

Current character guild templates: Category:Character\_Templates

## Updating Information

### Character Pages

* Make sure to put a blue check mark in #wiki-requests once you have fulfilled it.

* The most recent pin should always be the last wiki request unfulfilled.

### Marking a person as deceased

* Type this at the top: `{{Deceased}}`

* It will look give an infobox as well as automatically put it in Category:Deceased

Literally all you have to do is add the Deceased template. That's it. Nice and simple!
**Replacing images?**

**Adding more than one image in the infobox can be done using this code in the infobox for image:**

```
<gallery>AlexandriaBusiness.png|Business

 AlexandriaCasual.png|Casual

 AlexandriaQuirkOff.png|Quirk Off

 AlexandriaQuirkOn.png|Quirk On A

 AlexandriaQuirkOn2.jpg|Quirk On B</gallery>
```

Will produce:

## Alexandria

* Business
* Casual
* Quirk Off
* Quirk On A
* Quirk On B
