KHWiki talk:Manual of Style

Important Discussion!
I'm opening this discussion to all editors!! THe Manual of Style needs your input, good sirs and madams.

A question by NeloAngelo: Should we separate enemy pages or should the battle strategy be put in the same page. I've answered this questions before but he still asks so I'm opening this discussion. The MoS needs more input anyway.

Suggestions? Blue. 10:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Like I said on his talkpage yes. A page for strategies (I hope I spelled that right) would look really clutterd since there are many ways in defeating a boss. -Azul 10:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Should the enemies’ journal entries be italicized? —Shidou 02:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, to symbolize it being an in-game description. Blue. 02:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Because journal entries for characters change over the course of the game, is there a specification for which point in the game the entries should come from? —Shidou 16:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All of them (if possible). --Hecko X 17:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * How should one distinguish between the multiple journal entries? Sora’s article has a numerical pattern, but would it be confusing after each entry update from the entire game is written down? —Shidou 18:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Should the subject of enemy articles be singular or plural? If singular, should they start with a definite or indefinite article? —Shidou 18:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hard to say without trying out a layout, since I have absolutely no idea of how much information it would be. So I suggest making a sandbox, experiment, and when you/we find a setup that works, go with it. As for your second question, I'm sad to say I don't quite follow your train of thought. Could you possibly use an example to clarify? --Hecko X 18:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Stick to singular. And omit the "the" or "a/an". I already said something about that in the style page? Blue. 19:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but you specified it for article titles, not the body. Example of plural, indefinite articles and definite articles. —Shidou 19:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Use the definite article for the intro sentence. e.g "The Neo Shadow is a Heartless". The rest then is up to the writer, use as according to the sentence structure and the message to convey. Blue. 19:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Overlinking
Rather than limiting a wikilink to its first occurrence in the article, how about a maximum of one per section? Pages can link to a particular section and clicking on the table contents may skip sections, so the extra links could still be the first that the reader comes across. —Shidou 03:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * We could adopt the Wikipedia approach to internal linking, and say as long as it doesn't occur too many times. I know that is vague, but I think as long as common sense can accept then it's fine. Blue. 08:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
