Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Wiki: Layout Guide

This Layout Guide is an official guide as to how an in-universe article should be structured. Generally this guide is to be used for character articles, but can be adapted to almost any in-universe article by leaving out sections that are impertinent. By adhering to this layout guide we will add more uniformity across all the pages. This will create a more professional look for the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Wiki. In addition, if you are unsure of how to start an article use this guide to provide a starting point. If you have any questions or comments feel free to discuss the Layout Guide on the talk page. This layout guide was adapted from Wookieepedia's Layout Guide.

## Title tag

```
Example:

{{Title|''{{PAGENAME}}''}}

```

* Used to alter the appearance of the article's title at the top of a page.

## Youmay tags

```
Example:

{{Youmay|Jane Bennet from the novels|[[Jane Bennet]], a character from the book series}}

```

* Generally used when it is possible that a user has found one article when they were actually looking for another of a similar or same name.

## Infobox

```
Example (for an article about Damon):

{{Character
*  [[Mr. Bennet]] (Father)
* [[Mrs. Bennet]] (Mother)
* [[Jane Bennet]] (Sister)
* [[Mary Bennet]] (Sister)
* [[Catherine "Kitty" Bennet]] (Sister)
<span>* [[Lydia Bennet]] (Sister)</span>
<span>* [[Mr. Darcy]] (Husband)</span>
<span>* [[Mr. Collins]] (Cousin)</span>
* Human
* (if any)
* Alive
* (if any)
* [[Lily James]]

</nowiki>
```

* The image may not be larger than 250px
* For the first occurance of each information make it a link, e.g. link the year for the birthday/deathday and link all family members, jobs, etc.
* Wherever there is more than one "answer," seperate them by a line break (<br />)
	+ Do not put a line break after the last entry in that field
* Leave unknown fields blank

## Opening quote

```
Example:

{{Character Quote|<span>...a woman is either highly trained or highly refined. One cannot afford the luxary of both in such times</span>.|Elizabegg to [[Mr. Darcy]] }}

```

* An opening quote is welcome for almost any type of article.
* Quotes can be said by the article's subject, or said by someone else about the article's subject.
* Do not use links within a quote, unless it is the only mention in the article of a certain subject.
* If the speaker is another subject please include a link

## Article body

```
Example (for an article about a Character):

'''Elizabeth Bennet''' is... (insert introductory sentence or paragraph)

==Early History==
...

==Relationships==
...
==Physical Appearance==
...
==Personality==
...
==Powers and Abilities==
...
==Weaknesses==
...
==Appearances==
...
==Novels==
..
==Trivia==
..

{{DEFAULTSORT:Bennet, Elizabeth}}
{{PP Characters}}

```

* Start headings at the second level (==)
* Headings and subheadings are usually not required for very small articles.

### Images

```
Example:

[[File:Elizabeth_and_darcy.jpg|thumb|200px| Elizabeth and Darcy]]

```

* Images should be placed where they are most relevent and should not interrupt the flow or the aesthetics of the article.
* Images should have some sort of description.
* Images should be placed before or after paragraphs or sections of text, not right in the middle of them.
* Placing them immediately underneath a heading or subheading usually works quite well.

## Notes and references

* List of sources for information in the "Trivia" section is highly recomended.
* Items are added to the list by placing <ref>Source goes here</ref> after the information tidbit in question.
* These citations also need to be made outside of the punctuation (ie after the period and outside any quotation marks).
* To get the references to show up in this section, insert the following code:

```
==References==
{{Reflist}}

```

## External links

```
Example:

==External links==
...

```

* It's called "External links" even if there is currently only one link
* Links to other unofficial sources, e.g. fan sites, Wikipedia articles

### Stub

```
Example:

{{stub}}

```

* Used at the bottom of the article body when the article is too vague or brief, **AND** when there is clearly more information that can be added

## Category

Main Article: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Wiki:Category Policy

## Translations

```
Example:
[[de:Elizabeth Bennet]]

```

* If there is a translation of an article available please place the proper code here
