The purpose of this page is to set the general guideline users should follow when creating or editing articles in order to standardize the Wiki's writing. Editors should abide by these guidelines when editing articles directly related to the wiki (Blog/Discussion posts, Fan Ideas, and miscellaneous pages excluded).
General
- Use proper grammar and spelling.
- It is advised to use American English for your text. Don't use other language. However, if you are not good in English, you can use a Translator, which is easy to find.
- Seek to write in an objective, passive voice when writing articles (No biased wording or personal opinions).
- Create new pages as new content is added to Anime Fighters.
- Update pages as relevant to any updates to Anime Fighters.
- Remove and replace opinionated and immature writing from wiki articles.
- Assist our staff in correcting vandalism.
- Help replace incorrect information.
- When adding pictures of fighters to pages, it is recommended to use a screenshot of the fighter instead of the icon. Only use the icon if you can't get a picture of the fighter.
Wording and Grammar
To deliver a consistent experience throughout the wiki, these set of guidelines have been created as a reference to write articles. Again, editors should strive to write in an objective, passive voice.
- It is recommended that editors refer to readers in the third-person, often as "players" or "users". They should rarely write in a first or second-person perspective when providing information unless necessary.
- First-person is a subjective way to write an article, and second-person is an informal way to write an article.
- Editors should remain impersonal in their writing.
- Avoid adding your own experiences with the topic and write down factual information instead.
- Editors are to familiarize themselves with the use of "its" and "it's".
- "Its" is used as a possessive ("Its rarity is the rarest among the Fighters in the Super Star.")
- "It's" is a contraction ("It's a really strong fighter." ["It is a really strong Fighter."])
- Editors should never use subjective statements, such as calling Fighters trash/terrible.
- While some aspects of the game (Fighters, Enemies, etc.) have comparable features, with some objectively lower than others (e.g., Future Trunks to Gojo, Force 1 to Suguma), present the feature's statistics to let readers draw their own conclusion of it.
- Editors should limit their use of pronouns, and should use gender-neutral and third-person pronouns within their article. (They, them, their)
- Editors should not add jokes to the pages, and also not include things such as, "The ability cooldown is as high as heck."
- Editors should avoid using abbreviations, as readers may not be well-versed in terminology as an editor (Eg: Use "you" instead of "u".)
Fighters Page
- When you try to create a fighter page, only type the fighter's name in the game. Do not use it's Anime name as the title.
