Manual of Style

This is the Eleceed Wiki's **Manual of Style**. Below are some of the guidelines that we use for keeping articles organized and in a similar fashion. Please take your time to read and follow the guidelines as closely as possible as you edit any and all pages. We are currently trying to update all our pages to match this manual of style.

Policies listed here are for usage in articles. Unless stated, they must be followed across the wiki, without exceptions.

## General writing style

* The content of this wiki is expressed in **English**. This is an English language wiki and all edits are expected to be carried out in English (with exception to the Korean content required via names determined by the content of the series).
* The official English translations are to be used for names of organizations, terminology, names of characters
* Avoid the use of obscenities, slang terms, and euphemisms in articles. They can be used only in the context of quotes from characters.
* Avoid adding ship pages to this wiki (i.e. a page dedicated to Jiwoo and Wooin being romantically involved) and only add information about romantic ships if they have been clearly defined in the original source material.
* Keep the tenses of articles/sections consistent.
	+ History sections of character articles should be written in **past tense**. All other sections of an article, including chapter summaries, should be written in **present tense**.
	+ If the content of a section of a chapter or episode is a flashback to a previous story point or the article of a deceased character, it should also be written in past tense.

## Speculations and Assumptions

This wiki only deals with **clearly defined facts**. Any dubious info should reference a certain episode or manhwa panel so to limit confusion. Any mentions of references to material outside of the series must be clear and direct homages to those other works. There should be no guesswork involved when recounting events that actually happen in the story or relationships among different characters.

Speculations and other unknowns can be added to talk pages, discussion posts, or blog posts. Some theories are interesting and sometimes even plausible, but they cannot be displayed alongside things that are factual, as it can become difficult for readers to determine which is which if it is all mixed together on the same page.

## Preview Service/Fast Pass/Unoffical Fan Translations

In early 2019, Line Webtoon introduced a payment system for reading the next 3 chapters early for the English release of Eleceed. Same as the Korean previews, content from fast pass shall not be published. Additionally any info from unofficial fan translations using the Korean website should also not be published here. Any info not from the current free chapters will be deleted.

**To support the authors and following their wishes, Eleceed Wiki shall not publish any content or media not yet included in the free version of the series.**

## Images and other media

Images uploaded onto the wiki should have absolutely no text. Contributors can make sure of this by editing their images. This includes speech bubbles and text outside the speech bubbles. It does not include text that are supposed to be part of the background for example a sign in the background. All images uploaded should have the Fair use licensing.
Please refer to the main article **Image Policy** for detailed info.

## Layout Guide

## Spoiler Alerts

Sometimes information, especially relatively new information, should be given a spoiler tag so that the experience for readers will not be ruined. Of course they don’t have to be tagged as spoilers but any shocking information should be given a tag. In order to add a spoiler tag, add this piece of code into the source editor with your info where it says *info.*

```
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%">
'''Spoiler'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">Info</div>
```
