Style Guide

Welcome to the Villain to Kill Style Guide! Here, you will find the general standard of formatting, spelling and use of pages, images and text. This is still a work in progress, so please have a look at the example page in the navigation, and/or visit the Discord for some more guidance if you are unsure.

One handy dandy Tool Page now exists.

## Pages

We are looking for pages for each individual character - you can find a list in our Characters page - as well as pages for locations. We are slowly making pages for each episode as they come out. If you do not find a page that you are looking for, you are welcome to create it.

When making a page, we are okay with stubs or really short content (especially in the early stages), but please ensure that there is at least one link before you go! That will help keep the wiki connected, and pages easily findable.

## Spoilers

This wiki considers the *free* episodes of Villain to Kill available on Webtoon as the current canon. As some people may be unwilling or unable to access the paid content, we have decided to exclude it from the wiki. Any unofficial translations or machine translated works will not be applicable.

## Text

This wiki uses both British English and American English. However, for each page, please be as consistent as possible. Avoid slang or jargon, as well as informal language. Rail :eyes: If you are unsure about a word or its general use (including hyphenated words, etc.) just do a quick Google search to see.

Please use present tense for all events that have happened in the current timeline. For events in the far past, such as the War of Myth, past tense is fine. For characters that have died, use past tense.

It is fine to link to a page that is not created (it will simply show up as a red broken link when published). We do have a lot of catching up to do, so feel free to create a few pages for each person, place, episode, ability you reference. However, please do not link to pages that are unlikely to be written, or do not need an extra page.

### Terminology

When referring to some terms, they may or may not need capitalisation. When describing someone as a pskyer or villain, you can use lower case, but when referring to an individual who is a pskyer or villain, of which is their designation or title, then capitalise it. For instance, "Villain Cassian" or "Pskyer Kim Uchan".

When writing out ranks, for consistency, "[letter] rank" would be preferable. For example, "B rank" or "S rank" instead of "A Rank" or "F-Rank".

## Images

Similarly to spoilers, we only consider the Webtoon manhwa as the genuine work. If taking images, please ensure that there is no text (if showing a speech/thought bubble) and that it is from the original.

When adding pictures to the wiki, you will need to go to **Upload file** (usually on the right of the page), and then upload. Write an easily rememberable name (preferably along with the source episode or place) and you're good to go. When putting said images into a page, just quote the easily rememberable name (.jpg or .png or .gif) and it should appear as intended.

The use of images in this wiki (from the Webtoon) fall under "fair use" (please see this community page for more information). This means that we can use screen-captures and otherwise to small degrees. When doing so, please refer back to the source.

However, if you have created an original work, we would love to see it! Visit us on our Discord!

## Formatting

When using bullet points, please use the asterisk (\*), especially in infoboxes. Infoboxes for characters may vary on whether they identify as a civilian, psyker or villain. Please have a look at Yuri Gwon, Uchan Kim and Black Hand respectively.

**Infoboxes** can be a little tricky, so feel free to ask one of the wiki admins via our Discord, and we will try to help as much as possible. Generally, from the visual editor, you can go to **Insert** and pick the first option, **Infobox**, and it will come up with a template for you to fill in. You will just need to fill in the boxes. Ask Rail, as she is our resident expert!

## References

You might take notice when linking back to Webtoon episodes, but everything is exactly one number off because having a prologue means the first episode is actually 0. For example:

https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/villain-to-kill/episode-29/viewer?title\_no=2857&episode\_no=30

This is Episode 29. The number at the end of the hyperlink is the wrong number!

That's all for now! If you have any questions, please ask at our Discord! We'd love to see you there :)
