Style Guide

General Guidelines

 * Avoid excessive use of future tense, e.g. "When thrown, these objects will ignite in a bright blue flash.". Use present tense for general description and instead write "When thrown, these objects ignite in a bright blue flash.".
 * Avoid unnecessary prefacing language, e.g. "Note that it is also possible to.." or "Interestingly it is also possible to..". Avoid padding sentences out and instead write "It is also possible to...".
 * Use American English orthography, e.g. "color" over "colour", "center" over "centre", and "defense" over "defence".
 * Use double quotation marks only when quoting or otherwise referring to in-game dialogue or text, e.g. "I think I know what you are looking for." over 'I think I know what you are looking for.', and They are edible when 'popped'... over They are edible when "popped"
 * Treat all creatures, places, and objects (basically everything with a wiki page unless specified otherwise) as proper nouns, e.g. "Slugcats are both the primary protagonists..." over "The slugcat is both the primary protagonist..."

Writing
When adding content to the wiki, consider these questions:


 * Is your addition speculative?
 * Is this your own interpretation?
 * Is there enough information to be certain about this? Is this information confirmed by a source?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions then the content does not belong on the wiki. Speculation and non-canon interpretations can very easily be taken as fact when published on a wiki article, even with disclaimers.

Some pages cover lore which is inherently open to interpretation. For these pages, make sure that fan theories and speculative ideas are confined to an Interpretations subheader.

Formatting
This wiki is formatted using Wikitext, a guide to which can be found here. A cheatsheet can be found here.

Categories can be inserted at the end of a page, in source edit mode, like soː

Every gameplay page should belong to its relevant category.
