Professor Layton Wiki:General Manual of Style

Talk0
1,248pages on
this wiki

This is the general manual of style that counts for all pages on the wiki except templates and puzzles.

Contents

General notesEdit

  • Names of games (including short versions) should be italic. eg:
''[[Professor Layton and the Unwound Future]]''
''Diabolical Box''
  • If you can add a link to another page, do so only the first time. (eg: if on the Dropstone page the word Folsense appears multiple times, make the first one a link to the Folsense page with [[ ]] and leave the other ones alone.)

Page contentsEdit

Following things should be put on the page in order (not everything has to be added, but if you add it do it in this order).

InfoboxEdit

The very first thing to be added to a page is always the infobox:

{{...infobox}} (replace with whatever infobox is applicable)

All parameters should be added to the box, but if they are unknown, they can be left blank.

If no infobox is suited for the page, use a thumbnail image instead:

[[File:....|thumb]]

The thumbnail has to placed on the right (=default), and should not have a width specified.

Introduction textEdit

Write a short introduction text about the subject of the page. The introduction has to be very general, without any spoilers.

The first mention of the page title should be made bold. For example, if the page is called Folsense, you would start the introduction with:

'''Folsense''' is a town .... 

Specific sectionsEdit

After the introduction, the other sections should follow. These sections are different for each type of page, so check the other Manual of Style pages for more information.

ImagesEdit

Relevant images should be placed in the images section, which is placed below the specific sections. They have to be placed in a gallery:

<gallery>
image1.png|optional text
image2.jpg
...
</gallery>

Note that you are also free to place thumbnail images (left or right) in other sections to make the page look a little better.

If there are too many images, and they clog up the page, move the entire gallery to the associated Media page and put a link on the page itself.

TriviaEdit

The trivia section comes after the images section. In this section, you list all other stuff about the subject that are not very important to the storyline (like name derivations, cameos, ...). This section should be as short as possible. Any facts that can be placed elsewhere on the page must be placed there.

External linksEdit

Here you can add link to sites with information related to the subject.

NavboxesEdit

Relevant Navigation boxes, like {{Characters1}} etc, have to be placed here.

CategoriesEdit

Categories can be placed under the Trivia section. This only applies if the Wikia Category selector isn't available.

Language LinksEdit

Language links are the very last thing to appear on the page. Please place them in alphabetical order.
