LEGO Minifigures Online Wiki:Manual of Style

This is LEGO Minifigures Online Wiki's Manual of Style. All articles should conform to the standards listed below.

General

 * All articles should contain correct spelling, punctuation, capital letters and language structure.
 * LEGO should be spelled in all capitals.
 * Generally, minifigure should not be abbreviated to "minifig".
 * For all British/American spelling cases, American will be used (i.e. "color", not "colour").
 * Inappropriate language is not allowed anywhere on the wiki, any edits with inappropriate language will be undone, and editor will be warned. If inappropriate language is still used after 2 warnings, editor will be blocked for one month.
 * Tips, speculation, and opinions should not be on pages, even if they are stated as such.
 * All articles should have an appropriate infobox template, filled out and with a good image of the subject. Additional images of the subject should be included in a page gallery or in the rest of the article, if appropriate.

Remain in Third Person
It is important to remain in a third person point of view when editing. A common mistake while editing is to use phrases like the below:


 * I think Chicken Suit Guy is the best builder in-game.

Although this is completely valid due to the grammar rules above, notice that it is expressing the idea in first person. This can cause a great deal of confusion for the reader. Who is the "I" speaking?

In general, attempt to stick as close to third-person as possible. Try this phrase:


 * Chicken Suit Guy is considered to be the best builder in-game.

Character Articles
Character articles should contain:
 * A Character infobox.
 * A description and biography.
 * At least one image of the character, where there is one available.
 * A Minifigures infobox.
 * A list of achievements for this minifigure.
 * A Upgrade infobox.

Recommended Order of sections and section headings

 * 1) Lead Section (no heading): Short paragraph that describes the basic information of the character including the series where the minifigure belongs to.
 * 2) Biography: A biography about the minifigure. This can be found on the minifigure LEGO Website.

 * 6) Trivia: Little bits of information that can be interesting but are of little importance (If any).
 * 7) Gallery: A collection of extra pictures if there are a lot of pictures for the page.
 * 8) See Also: A short, bulleted list of pages closely relating to the subject of the article, or pages that may help the reader understand the subject more.
 * 9) External Links: A short, bulleted list of external links to official sites with info or news regarding the subject of the article.
