This is a SmashWiki style guide, giving pointers of making an article look good even if it is very short. | |||
== Lists == | |||
Lists can be created by having an asterisk be the first character in a line: | |||
* Just | |||
* like | |||
* this. | |||
Numbered ones can also be done with the number sign: | |||
# Which | |||
# is very | |||
# similar. | |||
Lists shall never be done with line breakers, as it looks better with dots.<br /> | |||
== Images == | |||
=== Banners === | |||
Wide banners should be compressed, but still viewable; copy this code to top of page: | |||
[<i></i>[Image:BannerName.jpg|right|450px|{<i></i>{SUBST:PAGENAME}}'s banner]] | |||
Replacing BannerName.jpg with the actual name of the uploaded banner. Size can vary depending of length. | |||
== Wording == | |||
Use a lot of pronouns. Who doesn't like them? | |||
* Bad example: ''Smiddle is a smasher who mains Luigi. Smiddle is crewless.'' | |||
* Better example: ''Smiddle is a smasher who mains Luigi. <u>He</u> is crewless.'' | |||
== Self references == | |||
Self references should be avoided.<br> | |||
Bad examples: | |||
* ''...then he wrote this page at SmashWiki.'' | |||
* Using ''page'' in the title of an article. | |||
