Manual of Style

The Manual of Style, or 'MoS', describes how an article should look like to help create a uniform style throughout the wiki. If you're not sure about how to style the content, then simply do the best you can. Others can always edit your work to improve the article so it can be the best it can be!

Currently there's not much information here as standards of style is still being developed and are subjected to change.

## Capitalization of race names

When referring to a race or species use lower case.

## Page styles

### Page titles

Article titles should be in sentence casing, unless it's referring to a specific thing in the game. Use sentence casing if its about a topic or quest, or anything else that doesn't refer to a specific thing in the game. This means use title casing for all items, status effects, events, characters, and so fourth. If in doubt, use title casing.

### Linking

Main article: **Manual of Style**
Try to avoid linking section headers. Instead use the {{Main|articlename}} under the section header instead. There's an example shown in this section.

### Title casing

If the name refers to an item, location, character, enemy, or an event -- proper nouns, use title casing. For example Curse of Lust is a event and should be capitalized. This page refers to a proper noun as there is only 1 Manual of Style page. Lizardman's Head is an item and should be capitalized.

If you're referring about a general entity then use sentence casing. For example Lizardman Warrior means the enemy named Lizardman Warrior. Lizardman warrior means a warrior who is a lizardman. Curse of Lust means the event. Curse of lust means a curse that causes an affliction of lust.

This might seem confusing so here are some additional examples on how you would write it in a page: Once you head into the Ruin you'll fight two Lizardman Warriors. The ruins have an area for lizardman warriors to spar with each other. Choosing to offer relief to the lizardman warriors will increase your lewd fame for use in Curse of Lust, further condemning the lizardfolk to their curse of lust.

### Sentence casing

Summary: Sentence casing is the default casing on the wiki.
If the name refers to a topic or a wiki page such as *List of things* use sentence casing, while still capitalizing proper nouns, names, places, locations, and so fourth. For example: ~~*"Ask About The Settlement."*~~ *-->* "Ask about the settlement." ~~Head back home.~~ --> Head back to Home. --> Head back to the player's home.

Article section titles should be in sentence casing. For example Chase away the Murcads is a quest and should be in sentence casing, and note that Murcad is capitalized as it refers to a group. Anything in brackets to disambiguate should also be in lower case, for example: ~~Health Potion (Strong)~~ --> Health Potion (strong).

### Spelling

The wiki will use American spelling as an extremely large amount of readers are from the United States. Examples: ~~colour~~ --> color, ~~rationalise~~ --> rationalize, ~~centre~~ --> center.

### Leading paragraph

There should be a leading sentence in the article that summarizes what the page is about. You don't need to be very detailed here, and it can be a few words long. If you do want to add more details, make it its own section in the article. Look at Othra, Berry, or Berry (red) for examples of varying complexity.

## Templates

When using infobox templates such as {{event}}, {{item}}, or {{NPC}}, please have the parameters on new lines for ease of editing. For all pages that already have them on single lines, it's okay to have it remain that way for now unless you wish to change it. New pages should follow the new style.

For example:

```
{{Location
}}

```

## Images

Image names should start with a capital letter, and then the remaining words must be in lower case, proper nouns included, and be in singular form. Do not add puncutation such as brackets. For example File: Lake of purification.png or Health potion strong

Images should be using the PNG format as the game assets uses PNG, and changing file extensions on the wiki can be a bit of a hassle when uploading direct assets.

Do not upload duplicate images, the wiki will warn you if you attempt to do so. Simply use the image already on the wiki, or if you wanna update it, update the original instead, unless you intend to change the file extension. If you wish to change the name, you can request staff to do so here.

## Characters

1. Each character page must have an {{NPC}} template at the beginning, and a {{Navbox characters}} template at the end.
2. There should be a leading sentence in the article that summarises what the page is about. You don't need to be very detailed here, and it can be a few words long. If you do want to add more details, make it its own section in the article.

Examples: Othra

## Items and equipment

If an item can be crafted, it must have an {{Item/crafted}} template. Example: Health Potion.

If not, then use the {{Item}} template. Example: Lizard's Scale.

If an item has an effect, the effect field should have the number at the beginning, and a sign if it was positive or negative, and then the parameter, or description if possible. Example: Nameless Piercing.

## Events

1. Each page should include an {{Event}} template at the beginning
2. There should be a leading sentence in the article that summarises what the page is about. You don't need to be very detailed here, and it can be a few words long. If you do want to add more details, make it its own section in the article.
3. Add a small section about prerequisites
4. Follow with a collapsible article-fandom table containing each step of the event. Each step should be numbered
5. The plot of the event should follow, taking the form of a small narrative description of the event
6. Finally, end each page with "Outcomes", meaning everything that will change upon completing the event.

Example : Bandit's Camp

## Quests

1. Each page should include a {{Quest}} template at the beginning
2. Followed by steps in the form of a numbered list. You can be as succinct or as detailed as you like, as long as they form logical steps.

Example : Proof of a warrior

## Master pages

Master pages are pages that are considered to be the most complete page, that all other pages should follow. Here are my suggested master pages:

* Berry (red) is the master page for Item.
* Othra is the master page for NPC.
* Bareshade is the master page for Location.

There are other categories that should have master pages such as event and quest but the standard style still needs to be cooked here. Of course this is all subject to change. We just need to offer the best way to give information to our readers.
