Welocme To the Manual of Style! Please read here before editing or creating a new page. This page may need to be updated as the wiki expands.
Writing
- It is fine to use either International or American English, as long as the words are spelt correctly. Be aware that other users may change things to their preferred spellings out of habit.
- This wiki treats the roles "Crewmate" and "Impostor" as proper nouns, so please capitalize them when you write them.
- GameToons, GameTunes, and NewscapePro are treated as single words in camelcase (capitalizing letters other than the first letter in the word.)
- According to GameToons, the proper way to spell his name is Novisor. However, spelling it in camelcase as NoVisor or hyphenating it as No-Visor is also accepted on this wiki.
- Be professional. Write clearly, avoid addressing the reader as "you," do not add personal opinions, and do not use crass language.
- Do not add fanon to wiki pages -- put that in comments or discussion forum posts. Reasonable speculation is allowed.
- Titles of games (Among Us, The Henry Stickmin Series, etc.) should be italicized. Song titles should be in quotation marks.
- When speaking about people of unknown or indeterminate gender, or hypothetical people, please use "they/them" pronouns. It is simpler than phrases like "he or she" or "(s)he."
- Make sure your information is accurate and sourced from GameToons or one of their associated channels. Beware of impostor channels posting false information.
- Link to other pages within articles. This makes traveling between pages (wiki walking) easier. That being said, do not overuse links. For example, if you are mentioning Player in an article about Veteran, you only need to link to Player's page once in that article. Minimize external links.
- If you include images, use high-quality pictures from official GameToons source. Please do not use fan art as page images.
Sample Article -- Character
(Use the top line to insert an infobox. Usually, only characters and episodes need infoboxes. We have added Angel's infobox as a sample.) (Please note that in the article proper, headers are one size larger than they are here. We have made them smaller on this page to make jumping from section to section easier.)
"A quote by the character."
