Guidelines
As an encyclopedia, the Top Trumps Wiki must be written in a certain way. Through-out the wiki the following guidelines should be met to insure a formal and universal sence:
- 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.
- Use of Infoboxs
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."
- Linkage
Make sure to link the words in articles whenever possible. For example, mentioning Marvel Comic Heroes in an article, there should be a link to his page.
