Line 1:

The '''Manual of Style''' is a resource specifying the guidelines or standards expected of certain pages on the wiki. It will also be a resource for how to use templates and the editor.

== External Resources ==

When looking for resources to help style templates or wiki pages, it's more effective to refer to documentation labeled for '''[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki]''' as opposed to labeled for '''Fandom'''. While both Fandom and {{SITENAME}} are both built on MediaWiki, they do not share the exact same extensions or capabilities as one another.

* See [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates this page] for help on creating templates.

* If you are familiar with [https://www.w3schools.com/Css/ CSS], [https://www.w3schools.com/js/DEFAULT.asp Javascript], and understand what functions are and aren't available between {{SITENAME}} and Fandom, you can use Fandom-related style guides, like [https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Contents here].

== Citations ==

Citations should primarily be used for surprising trivia or one-off jokes that need links to Discord messages. They can also be used to clarify certain choices made in wiki styling or organization.

== Templates ==

To make a template, go to the URL and after the ".xyz/", type Template:[Template Name]. This will bring you to an entirely new page that you can then create a template on. See [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates this page] on MediaWiki for more general information on templates.
