Worms Wiki:Manual of Style

''Please note: This Manual of Style is currently not in effect. It should be completed first. Please use the talk page of this article to suggest changes.''

The Worms Wiki's Manual of Style will guide editors on creating, editing and maintaining articles. It should always be used as a reference while editing.

Starting an article
The first sentence(s) of each article should give a brief definition of the subject, with the name of the subject written in bold.

Titles and game names
Game names should be italicised. Shorthand titles should be avoided if possible, initials should be avoided at all times as there are too many games with similar initials.

Album titles should be italicised and song titles in "quotations".

Spelling and grammar
Users are free to use either UK or US English. In case of an editing dispute, UK English will be the preferred kind of English, since the Worms games are developed in the UK. User pages, talk pages and blog posts are excluded from this preference. The writer can choose any kind of English on those pages.

"Worm" must be capitalized at all times as it is in most Worms games, along with every weapon/utility name (e.g "Bazooka", not "bazooka") and other common nouns such as "Sheep" and "Crate".

Articles should be written in the third person, e.g. "the player" rather than "you".

Trivia
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.

Wikilinking
Wikilinking should only be used on the first mention of a title, phrase or word in an article.

Signing posts
Normal edits should not be signed, while talk-page edits should always be signed. Signing can easily be done by writing ~ at the end of your post.

Page specific
The following information will guide editors on how specific articles should be made-up.
