Manual of style

This is a manual addressing issues and teaching people on how articles should be written to be to standard for Offspring Wiki.

Article titles
Article titles are to have all proper nouns capitalised. All peoples names are to be given in western order (Nina Proudman, not Proudman, Nina). If a character has a title such as Dr,Mrs and Mr are not to be put in the title of an article. Nina Proudman not Dr Proudman.

Opening line
The name of the subject of which the article is written on should be in the first few words. Nicknames and such are not allowed to be in the opening but are allowed to be talked about later. If there is a dispute about an article name it should be taken up in the talk page until a decision has been reached and the article name should not be changed constantly.

Style of writing
When writing a article use an informative tone such as one found in an encyclopaedia. Do not under any circumstances use/show bias in your writing.

Colouring
Please refrain from using any colour other than default, using other colours without a valid reason is vandalism.

Hyperlinking
The first time a specific topic is mentioned in an article (Such as a person's name or a significant place, event or thing) it should be linked to the appropriate article. The further times they are mentioned they do not have to be linked.

Images
When adding an image to a page use thumbnails. Unless an image is square and is small enough that it doesn't ruin the look of an article a thumbnail should be used. Descriptions of images should be short and just describe a) The specific people in the image or

b) What the image is portraying

Remember if a whole specific group is shows such as the whole Proudman family just write the group name such as the Proudman family, don't write each specific persons name if it is only the group and the whole group.

Legitimacy
All information on Offspring Wiki must be from official sources, if you make anything up or publish rumours or lies you will be banned and you account will be reported.

Vandalism
This is one of the biggest rules of the wiki.

DO NOT VANDALISE, EVEN IF IT'S A JOKE DO NOT DO IT

Vandalism is the destruction and disturbance of anything on this wiki. If you don't know how do do something ask. As with legitimacy if you vandalise you will be banned no questions asked and further conjunctions will be given if you vandalise.
