Tone of the Wiki Options

[Twilight Wandere...]

It's been voted that from now on the wiki should be written in a more formal tone, such as Anissa's page

Obviously not all of the pages are like that, I believe Charmy said that about half aren't. So, if possible, if we could focus on fixing the pages that are already there before starting new pages, that would be preferred.

Please try to follow the example of Anissa's page if you are going to work on a page/create a new one.

Just wondering, could one copy and paste Anissa's page on the pages that are faulty and then fill in the details with the information from the old pages?

If that's possible, I could probably help with that clean up then. I don't know how easy or difficult it is to edit Wiki pages. Can you believe I've never done it ever?

I'M....confused, what?
But once you get the hang of things, the wiki is really easy to edit. Tables can be a little bit of a hassle though.

Here's the pattern of what most character pages follow (from memory):

-> Cluster (I want to talk about clusters too! You know how some only have bachelorettes/bachelors/villagers? How about access to all characters instead? I played around with this and left some pages messy. What do you guys think?)
-> Box -> Rival/no rival (Rune Factory is listed under Harvest Moon. Can we have a look at these boxes and see if we should add/change anything to them? This one: Only diff - rival/no rival before we go through and fix all the pages)

-> Description
Follows something like:

Residence. Family/who lives with. Rival.

Personality/manner/behaviour/story.

First meet/unlock.

-> Anything important about that character that doesn't belong in it's own page. An example would be Alicia from Rune Factory 2's fortune telling. Probably too small to need it's own page (If necessary)
-> Marriage (If marriageable)
-> Events and Requirements (Table - unless not necessary)
-> Schedule (Table - unless not necessary)
-> Gifts (Table - Unless not necessary)
-> Dialogue and scripts (Table) -> Dialogue: Normal -> Scripts: Scenes, etc.
-> Trivia: Facts
-> Gallery: Additional official images/high quality images of character. Maybe links to videos on Ranch Story channel (Or other if not on Ranch Story Youtube channel)

Reference, etc.

-> Harvest Moon or Rune Factory index

Then, of course, changes can take place depending on what's necessary/unecessary/depending on what's in the game.
Don't forget redirects/disambiguation pages for when searching only the characters name in the search box on the left side! I've added most of them already, mostly applies to new pages.

All the other pages so far.....depends.

Avoid using the second person, speak in third...first? No, third person. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) "The player", "The character", "The protagonist", etc.



Gear, so long as your not posting anything ridiculous, it's okay. There's always someone available to go through and edit any informalities. So long as accurate information is there. Give it your best shot though. ^^

Same with the images. For the boxes, has to be the official art (Unless it's not available for some reason). Other images can be temporary until a better quality can be found. Someone might come by it and be like, "Oh! I have a better image for that." And might try to post it, so keep it up for other odds and ends I'd say.

EDIT: SHOULD I make tables into a template, if I can, and make them a lot easier to edit? Seeing as we're going to be going through all the pages now, we can fix them up as we go maybe.......
Just want to get things which will be on all pages sorted before we go through a cleanup and all.
