Attack on Titan Wiki:Manual of Style

Perspective

 * In-Universe
 * Articles describing fictional events, characters and other stuff taking place into the universe of Attack on Titan should be written using an In-Universe wording; i.e., as taking place in true life. This means that phrases like "in Episode 7" or "in the Female Titan arc" should be left out of sentences. Occasionally, it may be necessary to mention the manga or anime though. This will be allowed, but only on a case-to-case basis. Articles referring to matters outside that fictional universe are excluded from this rule.


 * Neutrality
 * Use a neutral point of view when writing. Any opinion or bias should be expressed in the forum or in the respective talk page, not in the article itself.


 * English (UK) or English (US)
 * Both are fine, just use one consistently within an article. If one was already chosen, do not change it.


 * Level of detail
 * Quantity does not mean quality, and not every detail is important. Articles should be written focused on the topic in question, extracting the relevant facts and avoiding unnecessary and unrelated information.


 * Articles about media (chapters, episodes, movies, etc) should cover all main events but in a summarized way, not literally descriptive. Not "he opens the door, he enters the room, he finds a person, first person says this, second person says this...", but "he found some person and they talked about something".
 * In general for any page, transcribing literal conversations in the style of "this character says, that character reponds" should be avoided, since just mentioning the topic is relevant in most cases. Only when what a character says is really important or it can not be found a way to write the summary without using this style, this could be allowed; but this shoud be the exception and not the rule.
 * Articles about characters should focus on the actions of that character. Actions of third characters should be mentioned only when they directly involve the one of the topic and are relevant to the subject; but preferably should be told just quickly.


 * Presentation
 * Paragraphs should be short and to the point, preferably no more than 8 lines and ideally with at least a reference at the end and an illustrative image every few paragraphs.
