**Manual Of Style**

The Manual of Style is the style manual for all Tower Blitz Wiki articles and pages. This article is to be used when in doubt or disagreement over how an article should be structured and written.

## General

Tower Wars Wiki style aims to resolve editorial conflicts based on grammar, vocabulary and spelling. Editors should keep in mind that you should use American English language, make sure sentences are written smoothly and are able to be read. All articles should use language that is simple and unambiguous.

## Uploading Files

* When uploading images of icons, it is recommended to have the image size at 512x512 pixels. This does not apply to other images if it degrades the image quality in some way.
* Image, video, and audio files should be high quality, There is a preference for images to be PNG rather than JPEG but both are acceptable. Images should be transparent as well to allow for other usage such as using them in templates.

## Article Structure

This section describes how articles should be structured and section titles formatted. This is highly specific depending on the page. If a header is not listed under general headers, it should be removed. It is recommended to use source editor whenever editing a page.

### Tower Gallery

This template is for Towers only, it should be on top of everything.

#### Tower Page

```
{{Tab|Gallery=[[TOWERNAME/Gallery|Gallery]]}}

```

#### Gallery Page

```
{{GalleryTab|TOWERNAME|Article=[[TOWERNAME|Article]]}}

```

### Infobox

The type of infobox depends on the page you are editing. All values should correspond to a value in the infobox. Additionally, an infobox can use <tabber> or <gallery> if there are multiple images that can be applied for an infobox. For example:

#### If Tabbers

```
{{Tower Template
</tabber>
}}

```

#### If Gallery

```
{{Tower Template
</tabber>
}}

```

The title in the infobox must be generally the same as the title of the page, except pages with brackets.

### Quotes

This must succeed the infobox. They must be a direct quote with no grammatical or stylistic corrections. As a result quotes do not need to follow stylistic rules laid out here. If there is a grammatical error in a quote it may be denoted with "[Towr]". Additionally, make sure there is no gap between the infobox and the quotebox. For example:

```
{{Infobox
}}
{{QuoteBox|Text|Name}}

```

Not:

```
{{Infobox
}}

{{QuoteBox|Text|Name}}

```

### Description

The Description is important for making an article. It describes small information for the page and it does not need to be excessively long. Almost all articles need to have a sufficient description.

### Appearance

This only applies to Towers, Maps and Enemies pages. This is where the description of the aesthetic appearance of the object is described.

### Upgrades & Skins

This only applies to towers. This is where the relevant information for the respective headers go. Follow the precedent already laid out.

### Navbox

The relevant navbox should be placed at the bottom of the page. There must be three spaces between the main content of the article and the navbox.

### Notice/Reminder Boxes

These should be used when something important in the article that is misunderstood, but is not fitting to put in Trivia. For example, whether or not (insert event tower) is available after the (insert event).

### Disambig

The box can be used when 2 or more articles have similar names, or the article has changed names in game, or has been removed.

## Links

* There should not be multiple links to a single page or source. There are two exceptions to this rule
* There must not be links in a section heading.

## Magic Words

Magic words are phrases used by Fandom which triggers the software to do something. When using magic words, they should be used in source editing instead of visual editing. See Community Central Article Here.
