Potential Manual of Style to ensure that all pages on the wiki are consistent.

Articles
Articles have a particular layout in order for them to remain consistent across the wiki. These layouts can be found below.

Journals
For journal pages, the following headers should be used in order. The page always begins with a brief overview of the contents of the journal:
 * Transcript
 * the transcript should be word-for-word with the journal entries. use of subtitles in-game is encouraged when one is writing any transcripts for the wiki. variations to the subtitles are accepted when the journals do not follow standard english grammar


 * Location
 * 'location' being where it is located in the house. This should be written in-universe: compare "the player finds this entry when they" to "this journal is found [in this location]"


 * Chronology
 * Uses the template to display the order of the entries

People
For people pages, the following headers should be used in order. if not enough information is known, a section should not be added. The page always begins with a brief overview of the character:
 * Early history
 * the history of the character prior to august 1994 (if known)


 * Moving to Arbor Hill
 * the history of the character post-august 1994 (if known)


 * Personality
 * the personality of the character. this section must use references


 * Relationships
 * the relationships this character has with other characters. other subheadings may be used (family, friends, romantic interests)


 * Implications
 * TBD but something to do with allowing unconfirmed information provided there is evidence to back it up

Documents
Documents refer to any kind of written content in the game, such as a letter, postcard, or other work. these pages should have a general overview of the item
 * Background
 * any pertinent background about the text, including the person or people who wrote it (if known), and its relationship to other texts in the game (for example, the series of letters between Janice and Carol).


 * Location
 * the location the text is found in game.


 * Text
 * The written text should be transcribed exactly as it appears in the game. should the handwriting be impossible to decipher, then the overlay text option should be activated and the text written out verbatim from that.

Files
Files should be uploaded in a lossless format: .png is generally accepted to be the best as it is both lossless and is accepted by all major web browsers.

Files must have certain information when uploaded. Use the Imagebox template to define characteristics of the image, including its copyright.
