The manual of style will dictate how we write pages on this wiki. This page is still under construction.
Articles
- Always use proper spelling and grammar. This is just common sense.
- You can only write about known facts. No unproven speculation is allowed on articles; instead use the forums for that.
- Every article will begin with a short intro paragraph, with the article title in bold.
- The Boondocks should always be italicized. One can refer to either the comic strip or the TV series.
- The titles of "episodes" and "songs" should always be in "quotes".
- Remember to place images (and maybe videos) in an article if you can. Far too many articles are not illustrated.
- Remember to neatly organize everything into sections and paragraphs. Don't create huge walls of run-on sentences and paragraphs.
- Preferably keep articles neatly summarized yet informative. Excessive and irrelevant details might be off-putting.
- Please put information under one of the relevant sections, rather than just randomly sticking it in a Trivia section.
- All articles belong in a sub-category of Category:Content.
- All articles should have a format that looks something more or less like this:
[Templates, for example {{Rewrite}} or {{an infobox}}.] [If there is no infobox, then add [[File:Image_name.type|thumb|right|200px (usually)]].] '''{{subst:PAGENAME}}''' [Short introduction paragraph, a few sentences long.] ==Section(s)== [Information, all separated into paragraphs and sub-sections. DO NOT create long and continuous walls of text.] [Insert categories ([[Category:Insert name here]]) at the end of the page, obviously.]
In-universe articles
Real world articles
Categories
- Categories must always contain at least a few pages to sustain it.
- Categories themselves must be included in other categories.
Files
- Obviously, make sure that photos and videos do not directly violate any intellectual property laws.
- Similarly, always give IP credit for a file to whoever it belongs to.
- Files should always be uploaded in high definition.
- Images must be placed in Category:Images and also in the appropriate sub-categories.
- Videos go in Category:Videos of course.
Templates
- At the end of every template page, remember to type this:
<noinclude>{{Documentation}}[[Category:Templates]]</noinclude>
