Adventure Time Wiki:Manual of Style

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 name, e.g. "Finn" instead of "Main Character". It must also be written in Singular instead of Plural, e.g. "Book" instead of "Books" - exceptions are only when the article is a List, e.g. "List of Books".
 * 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.
 * When writing the article content, episode titles should be written in bold italics, e.g. Evicted and song titles should be with "quotation marks", e.g. "Jake Time".
 * The definite article (the) and indefinite articles (a/an) should be avoided in article titles except if they are used as the official title.
 * Please write in third person: use "the reader" instead of "you".
 * Linking is limited to the first occurrence of the word or phrase.

What should an article have?
This depends on the page. Some things are meant for some pages.

For Characters
Each character gets an article, as long as they are important enough. If not, they should be grouped into pages that show all of it's inhabitant's traits. Each page of a character should have: (If there is not enough information for all of the following, leave the sections not filled in off of the page and add a Stub template. Place the navigation template related to the character. Also categorize the article accordingly.
 * the Infobox designed for the game in which the character appears (see Category:Infobox templates for boxes)
 * the Appearance and Personality sections to describe their characteristics,
 * A Trivia section, describing any popular culture references or other trivia worth noting,
 * Any External Links relevant to the character; official, informative resources, shrines, etc.

For Locations
Each major location gets an article. Depending on the information, sublocations may be given their own page or assimilated onto the main location page. Examples of the latter include the provinces of Candy Kingdom.

Locations are usually given the fullest title used in their respective game. For example, the Ice Kingdom is usually referred to as such, and not as an individual city. Thus, the location page is titled Ice Kingdom. A Location article should include: Place the navigation template related to the location, and don't forget to categorize them according to the relevant categories. If sections cannot be used, use the Stub template.
 * The Appearance section, detailing what the place is like or what is found there,
 * The Story section, detailing where the location was featured and what effect it had on the plot,
 * You may want to put in behind the scenes Trivia as well, if possible.

When adding a Quote
It's encouraged to have at least a quote in every article. Use the Template:Quote for one-liners. It's best to write the quotations in a "Quote" section, and if there are more than eight quotes available, one is to make a subpage containing quotes. An example is the Quotes of Finn page.

Spelling
There have in the past been edit wars over the territorial spelling of a word (i.e. words spelled differently in between Europe and the United States). We're not arrogant and we have no intention on starting a territorial war over something stupid like spelling. If you come across a word spelled the way it is in another country (for example if you see "color" spelled as "colour" or vice versa), leave it as it is. I.e. the person who inserted the word initially will decide how it's spelled.

Point of view
On most Wikis, there is a policy to give a "Neutral Point of View" (NPOV). More on this can be found on the Neutral Point of View page.
