Regretevator Wiki:Manual Of Style

View source

The Manual of Style is the style manual that will be used for all mainspace pages that are within the Regretevator Wiki. These guidelines are made to make sure that the pages can be read without confusion, and to improve the quality of the wiki's pages.

It can also be used when there is a disagreement about which style to use on articles. Also, most of this page uses the Source Editor for examples, and not the Visual Editor.

Gathering information from reliable sources

When editing, it is absolutely necessary to link official and trusted sources if there is any that you might know of.

To get trustable sources, you need to go the official AxoSun Discord server (which you can go to here), or a developer's social media page (e.g Twitter and/or Tumblr). If a vital piece of information (e.g floor/NPC trivia) does not have any reliable sources linked towards it, it must be removed immediately.

When you are also putting in game artwork, be sure to credit them.

General rules and statements

This section will cover a few important statements regarding editing.

  • Users are required to follow FANDOM's Terms of Use and the wiki policy at all times while editing.
  • The Manual of Style is not necessary for userpages or blogs, only for mainspace pages.
  • This wiki prioritizes British English, however American English can also be used as well.
  • Do not add notes to a page.
    • Examples: "Page creator: Tricolorpaulista6331, "pls add more info", "thanks to regretevatorbigfan1 for editing".
  • Vandalism can be reverted by clicking on the three dots right next to the Edit button, then click on View History > Previous revision before vandalization > Edit > Save.
  • Article's names can be changed by clicking on the three dots and clicking Move.
  • If a modification to a template is done and you do not see an update to the page said template is used on, use the Purge function. This will reset all server caches on the page, and update it to its current version.
  • If you wish to replace a file, instead of uploading a whole new file with the "Upload File" tab, simply click the image you wish to replace and click "Upload a new version of this file."
  • Please use a third-person perspective when editing pages on the wiki. (Examples: Replace "you can.." with "the player can..")

Image quality

When placing in screenshots from the main game (or any other Regretevator-related game made by The Axolotl Sun), please have said image's quality at the highest, if possible. Low-quality screenshots are to be removed immediately, and to be replaced with a better-quality image.

Grammar

  • Use correct punctuation:
    • What you shouldn't do: It's color is blue.
    • What you should do: Its color is blue.
      • The word "its" is often used in reference to something owned by a person or thing previously mentioned in the sentence.
      • "It’s" is a contraction meaning it is or it has.
  • Capitalize sentences properly:
    • What you shouldn't do: this floor is very huge.
    • What you should do: This floor is very huge.

Structures

Floors

Pages regarding Floors must contain the following structures.

  • Appearance
    • This section must describe the floor's appearance.
      • Example: The floor appears as a furniture store, with fog covering up the walls and the roof. The furniture store is divided by a white-colored pathway into many sections, examples being a living room plot, a children's plot, or a weapons plot. Several advertisement posters are hung with what seems to be metal.
  • Gameplay
    • This section must contain the general concept of the floor.
      • Example: The floor is heavily based on a game with the same name, that being 3008 by uglyburger0, which is also based off of SCP-3008. The song played in the floor is directly from the game's soundtrack. Unlike the original game, there are no pillars or employees. This floor cannot kill players and has one NPC named Lampert.

    • Only if the floor has dialogue or extra audio.
  • Gallery
    • Additional images of the floor.

  • Description

  • Interaction
    • This section must describe the item's function.
      • Example: Sold at the GUI Shop for 2 coins, when used, it would regenerate 5% of said player's HP. This item has two different dialogues, one for when it is held, and one for when it is eaten. Afterwards, if the item had only been bought once, the item will be removed from the inventory list.
  • Audio
    • Only if the item has dialogue or extra audio.
  • Gallery
