To Your Eternity Wiki:Manual of Style

This is the To Your Eternity Wiki's Manual of Style. Below are some of the guidelines that we use for keeping articles organized and in a similar fashion. Please take your time to read and follow the guidelines as closely as possible as you edit any and all pages.

Policies listed here are for usage in articles. Unless stated, they must be followed across the wiki, without exceptions.

Perspective

 * Articles should be written with In-Universe wording. With the exception of the Trivia section, phrases like "in Chapter 23" or "in the Spirit Bear arc" should be kept out of sentences.

General writing style

 * The content of this wiki is expressed in English. This is an English language wiki and all edits are expected to be carried out in English (with exception to the Japanese content required via technique, powers or skill names determined by the content of the series).
 * The official Kodansha translations are to be used for names of chapters and names.
 * Avoid the use of obscenities, slang terms, and euphemisms in articles. They can be used only in the context of quotes from characters.
 * Keep the tenses of articles/sections consistent.
 * Background sections of character articles should be written in past tense. All other sections of an article, including chapter summaries, should be written in present tense.
 * If the content of a section of a chapter or episode is a flashback to a previous story point or the article of a deceased character, it should also be written in past tense.


 * All information that has a page should be linked.
 * (For example, Fushi went to the Takunaha with Pioran) - in this case all important info is linked whether it is a character, location etc.
 * However, you don't need to link every time it appears, you just need to link the first version of the word

Images and other media
For specific, detailed guidelines regarding the upload and use of images for this wiki, please see the image policy.

Wiki Markup

 * The same wiki markup should be used on the text's first appearance and should not be repeated in the same section.

 * We also don't use URLs for the characters like: . We can only use it if you are linking external sites, like anime websites, news, etc.
 * File link parameters should be formatted as such:

 * The wiki's information should only come from manga, anime, official websites, official material.
 * Although it will be acceptable to cite only the chapter as a reference, it is preferable to cite both chapter and page when referencing.

Source Code Formatting
For maximum source editing efficiency, source code must be formatted according to these rules:

Infoboxes

 * Infoboxes should be formatted cleanly by aligning all entries.
 * Example of correct formatting:


 * Example 1 of incorrect formatting:


 * Example 2 of incorrect formatting:


 * Although all three formats achieve the same result, the first is the easiest to read and edit.


 * If line breaks are needed, the  tag should be used instead of a new line in the source code.
 * Example of correct formatting:


 * relatives = Booze Man (Lover) † Unnamed Children Unnamed Grandchildren
 * Example 1 of incorrect formatting:

Unnamed Children Unnamed Grandchildren
 * relatives = Booze Man (Lover) †
 * Example 2 of incorrect formatting:

Unnamed Children Unnamed Grandchildren
 * relatives = Booze Man (Lover) †

Headings and Sections

 * One empty line (only one) is required between every section and sub-section:

Section 2
