Style Guide

To maintain consistent, organized, and reliable information, this is a **Style Guide** for the wiki. This guide outlines what contributors should and should not do when editing an article. Please consult this guide before making any changes to an article.

Please note that policies are subject to change.

## **Main Content**

The content of the wiki is derived exclusively from the series or official statements. Therefore, any information added to the articles must adhere to the following guidelines:

* **Canon**: This is not a fanon wiki. Please refrain from adding your original characters, fan-fiction, far-fetched head canons, or personal opinions to the articles. All information must be consistent with the series or official statements.
	+ Furthermore, we are not allowing to have characters that were only created in the canon continuation of the Pink Corruption Series which is the comic, such as Challenge, Teroblast, Sibnite, and Hedrilateral.
* **Verifiable**: Information on this wiki must be derived from verifiable sources, and these sources must be cited. Any rumors should be treated with skepticism to avoid the dissemination of false information.

## **Writing**

Writing should be comprehensible and easy to understand.

* Proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation are mandatory.
* Small numbers ranging from one to ten should generally be spelled out. Numbers above ten should be written as numerals.

### **Text Styles**

#### **Bold**

**Bold** should be used in an article's introduction, where the first instance of a subject's name, or its equivalent, is given.

#### **Italic**

***Italics*** should be used when naming TV shows, films, books, games, and albums. Emphasized words in character quotes (spoken ones) should be italicized.

## **Article Contents**

### **Transcripts**

Transcripts are composed for TPC (Non-Canon) media. They should include the following:

* **What's happening on the screen**: Descriptions and notes about the events on screen should be italicized. These descriptions should be concise and limited to the most pertinent details.
* **Character dialog**: Dialog should be presented in bullet-point format. The character's name should be written in bold, with the exception of the colon, and their dialog should be enclosed in quotation marks. If the character's name has not been previously mentioned in the article, please include their full name (similar to links).
* **Character actions**: Notable actions should be italicized and placed in-between character dialogs. Notable tones should be placed in-between brackets.

When dealing with dialog that may be incoherent, please replay the source material to ensure the accuracy of the transcription before submitting it.

**Example**:

*As the level battle ended, Commando Circumsphere turned from pink to white, and showed a rainbow after he was cured. Pentellow helped Commando Circumsphere up by letting a hand.*

* **Tsavorite**: "Yes! I have saved the Iris Clone!"
* **Pentellow**: "That was wonderful Tsavorite!"
* **Commando** **Circumsphere**: "Yes. Thank you."
* **Cintagram**: "Hahahahahaha!"

### **Trivia**

Trivia sections are intended for interesting and noteworthy facts about the subject. These facts may be derived from the series or a reliable source. Reiterating a fact that has already been mentioned in the article's main section is discouraged. Redundant facts should be avoided.

References are essential for verifying facts that require confirmation and are not explicitly stated in the series. An example of a fact with actual conformation from Brittany Robinson herself is (**e.g.** Iris's zodiac sign is Gemini). Facts without references may be removed to prevent the dissemination of false information. This is particularly important for upcoming content.

Theories may be included in the Trivia section if they are plausible and supported by evidence. However, personal beliefs should not be included unless they are widely accepted or theorized within the community. For example (**e.g.** It is plausible that Cube's parents suffered the same fate as Cintagon, as seen in Season 1, Episode 10's flashback sequence. Cube also appears to have no memory of his family, and it is possible that he is homeless with no adoptive family).

### **Character Stats**

Character stats are an assessment of the character's strength and combat abilities. To determine a character's stats, one may need to go back to the series to analyze the individual's physical attributes and overall combat capabilities. You can check out the Stats page here.

**Example**:

### **Templates**

#### **Characters**

Please use the **TPC Character Infobox V.2** for the character's articles. It provides info about the character's episode appearance, Biographical overview, Physical description, Alignment & Character traits, Relationships, and Powers and Abilities. **Sections** **below**:

* **Area of Residence** - The **Area of Residence** is for where that character lives in Paradise. If it's in the wild, a village, etc.

## **Other**

### **Images & Media**

Images used in articles and galleries must be sourced from reliable sources. Fan-art is not permitted.

It is recommended to include a clear description of the image's source if it is not immediately evident.

If you wish to replace an image with a better or corrected version, please use the "**Upload a new version of this file**" option on the image's page. Uploading a new file entirely will create clutter and should be avoided.

### **Minor Subjects**

Certain subjects, particularly characters or locations in TPC (Non-Canon) media, may not possess sufficient information or relevance to the story to warrant their own page. As a result, these subjects are included in either the Minor Locations, Minor Characters section, or incorporated into a relevant article.

However, upcoming subjects may be exempt from this rule if they are expected to play a significant role in the storyline.
