Manual of Style

This page is a guide for the use of templates in pages throughout the wiki. Other useful pages can be found here:

Stubs

Stubs are used when a page is incomplete. If the page is complete, they are not needed. They let potential editors know where their help is needed.

They go at the very top of a page, if needed.
HC articles will use the Stub Template.
TWC articles will use the StubT Template.
MRSIS articles will use the StubM Template.
For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the Stub template.
Pages with this template should also be put in the Stub Category.

Notes

Notes as to what is needed to complete the article are helpful in pages marked as stubs, especially those that already have signifigant progress made on them. A note would go after trigger and spoil markers (more on them later in the page). They would be written like so:

*Note: [Information the article is lacking]

Tabs

Tabs are used when a page has subpages. If the page has no subpages, this template will not be used.

This template goes only below a stub template, should a stub template be present.
HC articles will use the Tabs Template.
TWC articles will use the TabsT Template.
MRSIS articles will use the TabsM Template.
For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the Tabs template.
For information on what subpages are needed for what type of article, see one of the following:

Spoils

The spoil template is used when a page contain spoilers. Not to be mistaken for the spoiler template, which will described later in the page.

This template would go after any existing tabs.
As of now, there is only one existing template for spoil notices, so it would apply to pages of all types (despite being HC-themed).

Triggers

This is a notice containing the possible triggers an article may contain.

Triggers are added for the saftey of those who may be viewing the pages, and they should be added in any pages where common triggers are present.
This template would go after any existing spoil notice.
HC articles will use the Trigger Template.
TWC articles will use the TriggerT Template.
MRSIS articles will use the TriggerM Template.
For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the Trigger template.

Here is a list of common triggers to consider when adding this template:

Gore/blood
Body horror
Eyestrain
Flashing images or loud noises
Excessive amounts of eyes
Disembowlment/disembodiment/decapitation
Torture
Assault
Heavy religious themes
Human experimentation/unethical experimentation
Animal/pet death
Animal cruelty
Maggots
Sexual assault/harassment
Bullying
Dysmorphia/dysphoria
Obessions and compulsions/OCD
Intrusive thoughts
Dissociation/unstable perception of reality
Cults
Suicide/self-harm
Addiction/substance abuse

Please note that this list is not comprehensive. Others can be added as you see fit.

WIPs

WIPs are similar to stubs, but they are to be placed under a specific section of an article, rather than being used as a way to mark that the article is generally icomplete.

WIPs should be put after any existing information in the section.
HC articles will use the WIP Template.
TWC articles will use the WIPT Template.
MRSIS articles will use the WIPM Template.
For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the WIP template.

Spoilers

Spoilers are similar to the spoil template, but they are placed under sections rather than indicating that the whole article has spoilers.

HC articles will use the Spoiler Template.
TWC articles will use the SpoilerT Template.
MRSIS articles will use the SpoilerM Template.
For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the spoiler template.
