Square Enix Wiki:Manual of Style

This is the Manual of Style page. It is a basic guide on how to correctly style pages on the Square Enix Wiki. Please discuss any discrepancies or mistakes on the talk page

General

• All articles should be titled by the full official name, except for companies, which should be by its common name.

E.g.: An article on the first game in the Chrono series should be titled Chrono Trigger

E.g.: An article on Square Enix should be titled Square Enix, not Square Enix Holdings, LTD.

• Topics of similar title should be titled the same, following with an identifier in parentheses, lowercased. The original topic should be an disambiguation page.

E.g.: Articles the game and series titled Kingdom Hearts should be created and titled as Kingdom Hearts (game) and Kingdom Hearts (series). Kingdom Hearts should be an disambiguation page.

• Introductory paragraphs should quickly define the subject. The subject should be in bold in the first sentence of the article. In the case of companies, the official company name may be used in parentheses. Identifiers in parentheses in the page title should not be used as part of the subject name.

E.g.: Square Enix (Officially: Square Enix Holdings, LTD.) is a Japanese video game publisher and developer.

E.g.: Kingdom Hearts is a video game series developed by Square Enix and Disney Interactive Studios.

NOT: Kingdom Hearts (series) is a video game series developed by Square Enix and Disney Interactive Studios

• Articles should follow the Coverage policy. Articles that violate this policy will be deleted, and the user will be punished in accordance to the User Account policy
• Do not use abbreviations

E.g.: Square Enix NOT SE; Dragon Quest NOT DQ

• All articles should link to their appropriate pages on Wikipedia in the Additional Links section.
• All game-related articles should have links to appropriate affiliate wikis, if they exist, in the infobox.
• The wiki's official language is American English. Please follow appropriate grammar and spelling, as per American English. This includes using an "'s" (apostrophe-s) for singular possessive nouns, using a comma before the final "and" in a list, and using appropriate ending marks inside quotation marks, unless otherwise appropriate.

E.g.: Xemnas's NOT Xemnas'; Sora, Kairi, and Riku NOT Sora, Kairi and Riku; Did he say "Come here"? NOT Did he say "Come here?"

• Game titles must be italicized. Series titles must be italicized as well.
