Sankarea Wiki:Manual of Style

This is the Manual of Style for the that explains the aspects that must be taken into account at the time of writing articles. These guidelines serve as a guide (duh) and while you can ignore them, it is highly recommended to follow these guidelines to keep consistency and quality in our articles.

We hope this guide will help you make valuable edits in the easiest way possible. If you have doubts, do not hesitate to contact one of our Administrators.

This page is a WIP.

American English or British English
Official translations of the manga and anime by Kodansha USA and FUNimation respectively are provided in American English. Therefore, all articles on the wiki should use American English.

Wikitext
That is only allowed for templates (other tags like are allowed to avoid squeezing in articles and only if they are strictly necessary).
 * Use only simple wikitext in articles, avoid complex and unnecessary stuff like   Jogoro Furuya is the grandfather of Chihiro. 
 * Headers should be in the form == Header ==, not the form ==Header==. Also, lists and indentations should be in the form:
 * * Item
 * # Item
 * : item
 * And not in the form:
 * *Item
 * #Item
 * :item
 * Direct links are preferred over redirect links (eg. List of Volumes over Manga ).

Naming

 * 1) The official series name is Sankarea. Kodansha Comics USA released the series in North America under the title Sankarea: Undying Love. Both can be used interchangeably.
 * 2) Official names are in  bold . These should be used over other alternatives (eg. Furuya, not Fooruya).
 * 3) Unofficial names are  italicized . These may include alternative spellings (eg. Saoji, Saōji, Bub, Babu, etc.) and can be swapped with each other until an official name is given through sources such as the author's social media, or officially translated materials.
 * 4) * If no official spelling is given, the most popular spelling form should be used to keep our contents consistent.
 * 5) All characters should follow the Given name - Family name format (eg. It should be Chihiro Furuya, not Furuya Chihiro).
 * 6) * The exceptions are characters whose full name is not revealed (eg. Mogi and Yasutaka), or unnamed characters (eg. Danichiro's first wife).
 * 7) * This should also apply to their voice actors.
 * 8) If you believe some of the naming conventions listed below are incorrect, you may correct the mistake yourself or contact an admin.
