Style Guideline

This page is to help give a general guideline for organizing pages.

General Layout[]

Try to begin an article with the title subject in bold with the Japanese equivalent in a parenthesis - e.g. Felt Blanchimont (フェルト・ブランシモン, Fureto Buranshimon)
Write in third person - e.g. use "the player" instead of "you"
Do not add personal opinions to the page. (ex: I think this character is annoying). Wikia is an information based site, not opinion based.

Writing the Article[]

Here in the Wiki, all the articles are written in English. That means, we also expect the editors to be at least able to write English properly. Please use proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation, and avoid writing a text wall, which means a very long paragraph.
