Style Guide
The purpose of this section is to establish a standardized format for articles and files.
Articles
Pages on in-game subjects like blocks and items should start with a small description of the subject. The first instance of the subject name should be bold.
Capitalization
Subject or article pages should not be capitalized unless the subject is a proper noun. This guideline should also be followed when linking to other articles. For example, Poké Ball is capitalized, while apricorn tree is not.
Point of View
Articles should be written in an encyclopedic manner, therefore the point of view should be in third person. When referring to the player, use "the player" or "players" instead of "you".
Files
File names should be all lowercase. The Wiki will automatically capitalize it on the file's page. If the file name contains spaces, replace them with underscores.
If there are multiple files with the same name, suffix the additional files with a descriptor. For existing cases of similar file names, like block and item sprites, item sprite files should take precedence and should have the original file name.
For example, as red_apricorn.png
denotes the item sprite image, the file name for the block render image should be red_apricorn_block.png
.
For blocks or other subjects that may have multiple variations like crop stages, add the variation label at the end of the file name. For block renders, this will come after block
. For example, apricorn_block_stage_1
or healing_machine_block_charge_2
.
If an item has any additional models, such as Poké Balls when held in the main or off-hand, suffix the file name with model
.
Moving
If moving or renaming files, do not allow the old file name to redirect to the new one.
