Forum:Manual of style

This wiki should have a manual of style to make sure articles are written consistently. As a start:

Q* (talk) 03:56, November 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * The first sentence of each article should give a brief definition of the subject, with the name of the subject written in bold.
 * Game names should be italicised. After the first mention of a game in an article, it is okay to use shorthand titles, e.g. Armageddon, Forts, Reloaded. Initials should be avoided as there are too many games with similar initials.
 * Album titles should be italicised and song titles in "quotations".
 * As these games are developed in the UK, it is encouraged to write articles with the UK English spelling, e.g. "colour" instead of "color".
 * Common nouns such as worm, sheep, crate, health, etc. should be written in lower-case.
 * Team17 is inconsistent about capitalising "worm", but following English rules of capitalisation, and in order to make a clearer distinction between the worms characters and the Worms games, we will write it in lower-case.
 * Weapons articles should be written in the third person, e.g. "the player" rather than "you".
 * The trivia section should only include notable information that doesn't fit elsewhere in the article, not speculation or opinion. If something in trivia would better fit another section, it should be moved.


 * Hey, this isn't bad actually. As usual, I'm no good at suggesting pointers, so I have nothing to add. I do think this should be included as an actual Worms Wiki page though (Worms Wiki:Manual of Style, for example), so I'll probably do that once everyone has given their suggestions and opinions. --Orangitu | Talk 13:42, November 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think you are onto something, but I'm not really sure about "spelling". TTTE is a british children show, but I have not seen them using UK spelling in their articles since there are more American users and international users using US spelling. But of course, this can be debated.
