Wiki Guidelines

Guidelines to follow when contributing to the wiki are as follows. This includes notes on language to use and consistency.

1. Always categorize new or uncategorized pages. If you cannot decide on a category, add it to the Soul Knight Wiki category.
   • The Soul Knight category should hold all other content pages/categories/media under it.
     • This excludes user pages, unless they are part of a Wiki group (e.g., Admin Team, Content Moderators).
2. Always bold the first use of the page name, in the introductory sentence on a page.
3. Clearly and simply document changes in the summary box whenever you edit pages.
4. Add an appropriate title to images/videos when uploading them.
   • Sprite images should be named "Sprite_[Name]".
5. Make sure all self-made videos are:
   • Simple with no added music or graphics.
   • Under 10 minutes long.
   • Demonstrating the subject clearly.
   • Not self-promotional.
   • Showing at least one room cleared if it demonstrates in-game entities.
6. Always capitalize names of Characters, Weapons, Enemies, Bosses and Skills.
7. If you would like to add an infobox, use the "Soul Knight _______ Infobox" presets.
   • Always use infoboxes for Weapons, Characters, Enemies, Bosses, and Mounts.
     • For these infoboxes, please use in-game sprites with a transparent background or no borders.
8. Follow the weapon, enemy, character and boss templates when making new pages for this content.
   • Please ensure you add a link to the corresponding pages when mentioning "weapon," "enemy," "character" or "boss" in the introductory sentences.
9. Attempt to use correct terms consistently throughout the wiki.
   • Use the term "Living Room" instead of "Base."
   • Use the term "Skill" instead of "Ability" when referring to the character-specific specials.
   • Use the term "Armor" instead of "Shield," unless actually referring to Shield.
   • Use the term "Cellar" instead of "Basement."
   • Use the term "Energy" instead of "Mana."
   • Use the term "Character" instead of "Hero."
   • Use the term "Enemy" instead of "Monster."
10. Use singular names for titles of enemy pages (e. g., Dire Boar instead of Dire Boars).
    • Enemies that go by a plural name, such as the Baby Dragon Bros, are an exception.
11. Use a reasonable number of links when the same word/phrase is mentioned multiple times on a page.
    • This is usually a single link on the first mention of a word/phrase (that is not in a header) for the whole page.
12. Make sure you include the entire word when linking to a page.
    • For example, linking "Paladin's" to the page Paladin should look like: Paladin's
      Instead of: Paladin’s
13. Do not link the text in a heading.
    • For example, do not link "Buff" in "Notable Buff Effects" but rather the first occurrence of the word "buff" under the header.
14. Write in third person.
    • Do not use personal pronouns, such as "I," "me," "our," "we," etc.
    • Use "the player" and "the player's" rather than "you" and "your."
15. Do not recommend characters in weapon pages.
16. Do not add information about Soul Knight Prequel.
    • This wiki is dedicated exclusively to the roguelike game, Soul Knight.
    • Although Soul Knight Prequel may cover the same content as Soul Knight, the connections between the two games are not well-defined.
