Style Guide (Internal)

# This Is An Internal Document. Do Not Link To This Page.

## Welcome

Hello! Thank you for your interest in helping contribute to the Street Fighter Duel Community wiki. I only ask a few things of you:

1. That you remain logged in while you interact with this wiki.
2. That you read this style guide.
3. That you follow the rules for contribution to this wiki.

That's it. Nothing too crazy, you really are free to contribute and make touch ups to this wiki as you see fit.

## Rules

Short and simple:

* **The Golden Rule:** Zero vandalism. Not even for the memes. Zero sense of humor about this, this is fundamentally the only rule.

* This is a Street Fighter Duel wiki as it pertains to the global release in NA / EU / OCE etc markets. Content related to, or "leaks" derived from, other versions (i.e. TW) should not be linked to.
* This is an English wiki. Pages that are not in English must contain \_(LANGUAGE) at the end of their file name.
* Self promotion should not be linked to.
* No "back and forth" edit wars. Discuss hot edits in the discussion topics or on the discord. In case of tie, "leave it out" wins.

That's basically it, guys. You notice, you don't "have to" follow the style guide. You can make non-English pages. You can even discuss TW server or whatever. The rule is that \*you cannot link to this stuff\*. It can't show up in the main wiki, you can't just stumble on it. If you're using the wiki to host some interesting data or whatever, that's cool.

Oh right, one last rule. "Why are the rules in the style guide?"

* You have to read the style guide. It's not that long either.

## Style Guide

### Consistency

Adhere to the language conventions of the existing wiki. Full names or game-appropriate abbreviations (i.e. EXP) are used as much as possible, avoid the use of popular shorthand. When you make a page, compare it to other pages that are similar, and try and bring the styling and names of headers more in line with other pages you see.

tl;dr - Don't say "spoison" and "bgief", say Street Poison and Beast Zangief. Break your pages and content up into sections.

### File Names

Yes, I know how nuts it is that every single icon in the game has the word "icon" in the file name. This is done so that it's easily searchable, you can easily find all of the "bust" icons for example because they all contain the word "bust" in their name. Avatar frames all contain the word "frame" in their file name. Every picture that has the character Cammy in it, has the name Cammy in the file name. You get the picture.

tl;dr - If you're not sure what to name a file or page, ask.

### Just... Try

I'm not gonna expect every contributor to be an English major. Just put the effort into proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Web browsers have built-in spellcheck, there are grammar checking extensions if you really struggle. Worse comes to worst, if you don't feel like a strong writer or you're not a native English speaker, just reach out to another contributor and collaborate with them on the content you want to see on the wiki.

We're here to help, and your voice is valued, please don't be discouraged.

tl;dr - Type good and stuff.

## Conclusion

I can't wait to see what you've got to add to the rest of the wiki. I tried to keep it as short and sweet as I could, because at the end of the day, really, the only thing I'm going to ask is that you respect the absolutely herculean efforts that went into everything that came before you.

Thanks for reading. -Bouk

## The Harder Stuff ("how do I?")

### "Emojis"

There are loads of assets uploaded to make it easier for you, for example the "Shock" debuff can be written as "Shock" by inserting the appropriate asset. Any asset that is intended to be used for bodies of text must contain the "emoji" flag within the file name. **If an asset isn't flagged as an emoji, it shouldn't appear in bodies of text. For example,** say "combo 1" or "first skill" rather than trying to insert a tiny little skill icon:. See how silly that looks?

To use these images, search "emoji" (or if you already know what you need, "<term> emoji" like "shock emoji") to find the asset you need. Before inserting, click to the "advanced" tab and set it as type "frameless". Select a "custom" size and set their size to 18px by 18px. For consistency, do not put any spaces between the image and the word that specifies it - it is that way in the game.

### Auto-Format Buffs/Debuffs

For consistency, I've created templates for all buffs and debuffs (i.e. Dotorinken and Shock). Using them is very simple, just wrap the buff/debuff with double curly brackets {{ and }}.

`Example: {{Flame Vulnerability}} becomes Flame Vulnerability`
