The '''Manual of Style''' is a page written to help you, the reader, put together an article that is as consistent as possible with other articles.

__TOC__

==The MediaTabs Templates==
On every article ''except'' for the Stories articles, there ''must'' be a single '''"MediaTabs" template''' at the first line.

However, you must place the appropriate MediaTabs template on the page.

There are multiple, such as:
* {{t|MediaTabs}}, which should only be used in the case of the article having both '''Gallery''' and '''Audio''' subpages;
* {{t|MediaTabs2}}, which should only be used in the case of the article having only a '''Gallery''' subpage;
* {{t|MediaTabs3}}, which should only be used in the case of the article having only an '''Audio''' subpage;
* and finally, {{t|MediaTabs4}}, which should only be used in the case of the article having no subpages.

For documentation on how to create subpages, [[#Subpages|click here]].

==Headers==
If appropriate, the page should have a header or multiple.

Here is a complete list of headers and their usage:
* {{t|Update}}, placed on an article page if some, most, or all of the information is outdated.
* {{t|Stub}}, placed on an article page if it is too short or lacks detail.
* {{t|Speculation}}, placed on an article page if it contains speculative information.
* {{t|Cleanup}}, placed on a page if it is messy past the point of readability.
* {{t|Conjecture}}, placed on an article page if the article's name is conjectural.
* {{t|Delete}}, placed on a page if it is unnecessary.
* {{t|Needcontent}}, placed on a page if the article or subpage is missing needed content (such as information on certain things, photos, or sounds).
* {{t|Needs Protection}}, placed on a page if it satisfies one, two, or all of the following reasons:
*# Prevention of vandalism
*# High traffic (frequent visitors)
*# No more info needs to be added to the page
* {{t|Move}}, placed on a page if it should be renamed.
* {{t|Picture}}, placed on a page if it requires an image.
* {{t|Upcoming Content}}, placed on a page if it details a future concept with not all details revealed.

==Quotes==
When possible, there should always be a quote at the beginning of the article, after the MediaTabs template.

This quote can be a describing quote from one of the [[:Category:Stories|stories]], or perhaps a quote said by the character themselves.

This would be done in the following format using the {{t|Cquote}} template:
<pre>
{{Cquote|quote would go here|source, with citation if possible}}
</pre>

==Infoboxes==
'''Infoboxes''' are templates that should only be used for articles about characters and locations.

Infoboxes are to be created by an admin but can be placed on the page by anyone.
* Each infobox should have a simple, short name, usually an abbreviation followed by "Infobox". For example, the [[Donald Duck]] infobox is titled simply "DD Infobox", which stands for "Donald Duck Infobox".
* Each infobox should be consistent in design and a picture should be supplied if available.
** Should no image be available, the simple alternative would be to use instead [[:File:Unknown.png]].

==Descriptions==
===Describing a character===
When '''describing a character''', it should be done with the initial paragraph giving a short background of the character before moving on to specifics.

The basic structure would simply be:
<pre>
(opening paragraph)
==Description==
===Appearance===
(paragraph describing appearance)

===Behavior===
(paragraph describing general in-game behavior)

===Locations===
(paragraph describing locations passed in gameplay)

==Bugs==
(bulleted list of in-game glitches or modeling errors)

==Trivia==
(bulleted list of relevant uncommon knowledge)
</pre>

One such example would be [[Photo-Negative Mickey]].

===Describing a location===
When '''describing a location''', there should be 1-2 opening paragraphs giving a general description of the location and a bugs and/or trivia section.

The basic structure would be:
<pre>
(opening 1-2 paragraphs)
==Suits==
(the suits that go through this location)

==Bugs==
(bulleted list of in-game glitches or modeling errors)

==Trivia==
(bulleted list of relevant uncommon knowledge)
</pre>

==Images==
People like to see a visual representation of an article. As such, there should be '''1 picture ''maximum''''' per article.

All other relevant images, if available, should go into the Gallery subpage.

==Footer==
At the very end of the article, there should be a navigation template for the general category the article falls into. This would apply to all other articles in the same category.
* For '''Characters''' articles, there would be the {{t|Characters}} template.
* For '''Locations''' articles, there would be the {{t|Locations}} template.
* For '''Stories''' and '''Games''', there would be the {{t|Franchise}} template.
* For '''Mechanics''', there would be the {{t|Mechanics}} template.

==Subpages==
Many pages have a '''Gallery''' and/or '''Audio''' subpage.
* If photos exist for the character, location, or mechanic, the photos would go into the Gallery subpage;
* If sounds exist for the character, location, or mechanic, the sounds would go into the Audio subpage.

Subpages are created very simply; just go to [[Special:CreatePage]] and type the <u>'''exact'''</u> page name, followed by "/Gallery" or "/Audio" appropriately. For example, the [[Goofy]] page has a [[Goofy/Gallery]] subpage and a [[Goofy/Audio]] subpage.

The subpages created should keep consistent with [[#The MediaTabs Templates|the MediaTabs template]] placed on the article.

==Categories==
Each page should be categorized.

===Article Categories===
The first category must be [[:Category:Five Nights at Treasure Island|Five Nights at Treasure Island]].
* If the article is about a character, the second category should be [[:Category:Characters|Characters]].
