The Manual of Style is a set of guidelines when editing the Monkie Kid Wiki.
At some point, it's best to refer to the Manual of Style regardless if you're a new user or an experienced one because most questions can be answered if you look at the Manual of Style. If you need help with editing an article, please go to Community Central.
The template on the right refers to the types of articles this wiki has. Those pages will go into depth on the expectations for each of the articles.
Templates
Templates better the look of the wiki overall. Use the following procedures when creating articles.
- Every single page on the Monkie Kid wiki should have a proper template. There are specific infobox templates for Character, Location, Event, and Set. These should be filled out appropriately, every section either containing correct information.
Writing style
There are a few guidelines to keep in mind in terms of writing style on the wiki:
- Formal language should be used.
- Spellings will be used from American English unless a primary source (quotes from books, etc.) use alternate spellings.
- Whether events are described in past tense or future tense depends on the context. Generally, pages for characters/objects/etc. should be written in past tense, while pages for episodes/books/etc. should be written in present tense.
In-universe perspective
Pages for in-universe subjects (characters, locations, etc.) should be written from an in-universe perspective with the exception of certain sections such as Trivia. This means that, for example, characters' introductions should treat them as real people rather than characters in a series, and the names of seasons or episodes should never be mentioned in introductions.
Most History/Biography sections should use installment names as the headings. This allows easier navigation for readers looking for events from a specific season. The main exception to this is when the events take place before the series.
Copying information from other sites
Copying and pasting information from other wikis or websites will lead to a one-day ban. Continuing to do so will lead to a one week ban then later a permanent ban if it goes on. Plagiarism is taken very seriously, and will not be accepted.
