Sket Dance Wiki talk:Manual of Style

Manga Chapter Articles
I think we should add a character section for each manga chapter. Plus, it's helpful to me since I worked at Anime Vice to work on their Sket Dance wiki articles. I need something to help double check.

I just add it to the Manual section if you don't mind, Lyxnian.

Verb Tense in Character Articles
Lynxian, I want to clarify the character articles. I noticed some wiki editors and myself are confused. In the other wikia communities, I'm used to writing in present tense for every article. I noticed the back story is written in past tense while the story arcs, trivia, personality, appearances, and others are in present tense. I don't want to give other wiki editors the wrong answers about their verb tense because I've been correcting Utipintar's verb tense from past to present in the trivia and personality sections of other characters this week.

 * I'll add something in the manual of style about it if it's not there already... anyway, everything on the wikia is written in present tense except for the backstory section of the character articles, which is in past tense - basically, if something has already happened prior the series' start, it's written in past tense to reflect that. Events that occur during the series are in present tense because traditionally, when writing about literature, the story is considered to always take place in the "present". ...I hope that makes sense. @_@ --  Lynxian  (Talk) 21:34, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Volume Articles with Ref sections
I'm proposing that we have ref sections for the volume articles because if we link the volume pages to the Amazon.co.jp's pages for the volumes, wiki editors will know where to find the page number and ISBN. Also, this will promote the mangaka and his staff's manga. I want to show people that they can buy the manga legally after they have read the scanlations. Though, these are in Japanese for the moment. Hopefully, Sket Dance will be licensed for North America, Latin/Central/South America, Europe, and other places in their home languages.

If no one speaks, I will change the wiki manual.

I'm also looking for any proposed changes to the volume pages. The list of chapters and individual chapter pages cover everything that the volume wiki pages. I'm looking to make the volume pages distinguished and provide more information besides summaries.

Proposal: Trivia Rules
This is a proposal. I put this up because I see new editors struggling with trivia sections.
 * No speculations based on character similarities to other franchises. If the similaries are significant, these trivia are more suitable for Sket Dance References.
 * No speculations based on romantic relationships between characters. These details belong to the relationship sections and must be back up with substantial evidence.
 * Trivia must have not have any information repeated from other sections.
 * Example: Mimori's bust size is in the trivia, so it's not necessary to repeat in her appearance section.


 * Trivia should not have manga and anime differences unless it's significant. Significant details include relationships between characters, meanings in names (Kanji, Romaji, etc.), or author's original character designs.
 * Example
 * Manga Only: She confesses to Bossun that she had a little crush on Ryosuke, but she gave up because she knew that Haru loved Ryosuke the most.

For examples of excellent trivia details, please see Bossun.

I just need someone or two to read this and suggest any improvements. Then, I put it up if everyone agrees with it. 16:50, July 26, 2013 (UTC)
