Fear the Walking Dead Wiki:Style Guide

This document is a starting point, a discussion document. I've deliberately been very conservatve with the draft version so I'm sure there will be items people want to debate. Please use the talk page to discuss individual points. One of us can make the agreed change in the document when we have an agreement.

Names of TV Series, Films etc.

Use italics to show that the word or phrase is the title of a TV programme, film or book; like this. Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead. Fear the Walking Dead can be abbreviated to Fear.

In WikiText (source code mode) that looks like this: ''The Walking Dead''

Episode Names

Episode names should be in double quotes (speech marks), like this: "Days Gone Bye".

Where it's a Fear episode that's been mentioned, the name should be in double quotes as well as linked to the article for that episode, like this "The Good Man".

In WikiText (source code mode) that looks like this: "[[The Good Man]]"

Character Names

The name of a character is the one given in the credits of Fear. Where the character has a name like "Second Protester" it should be in double quotes.

Linking Character Names, Episodes, Locations, Weapons etc.

The first use of a character's name, such as Travis in that section should always be linked back to the article for that character. After that, uses of Travis' name needn't be linked unless there's a particular reason. For instance, in a long section it might be useful to link a character's name or a location more than once is the first use is some distance away in the article.

Language

American Spelling vs British

Always use American spellings of a word when quoting a character's lines from an American work. Please be tolerant and polite, people from all over the world edit here and are probably writing in a foreign language.

Bad Language & Profanity

No Language or Profanity, none.

Racism & Sexism

No Racism or Sexism, none.

Complaints

If you have a complaint about a user here or a copyright issue, please contact one of the administrators on this page ListAdmins, Ser Patrek is the senior active admin.

If your complaint is that someone changed an article and you disagree with the change, please discuss the issue with that user. Be polite, don't involve admins in editing discussions. An admin's opinion on an editing issue (whether a character is Alive or Unknown for instance) carries no more weight than a non admin with similar editing experience here. Please ask a person you both agree on to decide for you, if you really can't agree between yourselves. Please be polite.
