This page will give an idea of how to write articles so they are consistent with many of the similar articles.

General Article Guide[]

  • Article title must follow the subject's official English name.
  • Always include at least a sentence about the subject when starting an article.
  • The first sentence should be about the article's subject, and the subject has to be written in bold. It should also state what game the subject of the page is from.
  • Include Infoboxes where appropriate.
  • When writing the article content, game titles should be written in italics, e.g. Final Fantasy IX and song titles should be with "quotation marks", e.g. "Prelude".
  • Follow the official game title and use roman numerals, it's Final Fantasy III, NOT Final Fantasy 3.
  • Wikilinking is limited to the first occurrence of the word or phrase.
  • Never wikilink headers. Ever.
