Guidelines

As an encyclopedia, the TimeSplitters Wiki must be written in a certain way. Throughout the wiki the following guidelines should be met to insure a formal and universal sense:

• A formal tone

This ensures a professional wiki is made. If you see an article with this banner at the top, then the article does not have a formal tone!

• Correct spelling

Spelling is rather obvious, as well as grammar.

• Avoid using first person

Since multiple people usually contribute to every page avoid using words like "I", "me" and other words that denote one person when describing something.

• Use of Infoboxes

The Infobox system is a good way of displaying information. The main article itself will expand on this information.

• Proof where appropriate

Don't make stuff up, unless you specifically say "it is probable" or "he was likely to", etc. Back up any opinion with solid facts."

• Linkage

Make sure to link the words in articles whenever possible. For example, mentioning Cortez in an article, there should be a link to his page.
