Frontierpedia:Manual of Style
This is the manual of style for Frontierpedia, which is expected to be used on every page.
Basics
- Please use very precise and correct grammar for articles, this includes capitalizing the first letter of each sentence (You also have to capitalize words like nationalities and companies.), not use shortening words such as "info" or "pics" (Please use the full word.), and please refrain from using "I", "me", and "he/she" (they are allowed if you refer to a person in the sentence before use of the word. Such example of which is this: "[Name] is known for creating content. He predominately..."). This rule also includes correct punctuation and usage of commas.
- Enemies and anyone affiliated with them are prohibited from editing this wiki, and will result in a block until December 31st, 9999.
- For things such as software and community pages, please be very professional in terms of writing.
- Be sure to use the correct template for articles, a violation of this would be using a "Wikipedia" template over a user article that isn't affiliated with Wikipedia. So use templates as intended, such as the "Incomplete" template on a stub article.
- Be sure to use correct categories for articles, a violation of this would be putting "Enemies" over an Ally article.
- Articles must at least have the Trivia and About heading, with the Trivia heading using the "bullet list" for displaying information to the viewer.
- Articles only users, software, and other entities have an infobox.
- Articles must use American English and American date/time system, but also have the Imperial and Metric systems if required.
Page Templates
You must use the appropriate page template for a page. Here is a list of templates and quick descriptions.
The incomplete template is the stub template and indicates an article is incomplete or needs more information.
The protected template is used to state whether a page is protected. This template cannot be present if the defended template is also present.
The defend template is identical to the protected one but is usually only temporary and can be removed by an admin whenever vandalism on that particular page comes to a halt. This template cannot be present if the protected template is also present.
The outdated template is used if content on a page is severely out of date and needs to be updated.
The historical template is used on pages of users that are no longer relevant to the community.
The Wikipedia template is used when an article contains 50% or more information from Wikipedia.
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. |
The stub section template is used for when a specific section of a page needs to be expanded with more information. This does include galleries.
Bias
Frontierpedia has a slight ally/TMAFE bias that is recommended to be kept on all pages. Extreme biases of either side will be reverted or edited to fit the tilt-ally bias. You may contact an admin or edit the page yourself if you believe information in it is too biased.
