Databrawl Wiki:Manual of Style

(WORK IN PROGRESS, infomation on page may change over time)

Welcome to the Databrawl Wiki. This is the Manual of Style, a general guideline to follow when creating or editing articles, whether they be weapons or characters, made in order to standardize the place's writing.

If you want to read the rules of the wiki, go here.

In general, we expect our editors to abide by these guidelines:


 * Use proper grammar and spelling in any articles being worked on.
 * Create new pages and update old pages as official content is added to Databrawl.
 * Remove and replace opinionated and immature writing from the wiki articles.
 * Help correct potential vandalism and incorrect information.
 * Seek to write in an objective, passive voice when writing articles.

What qualifies as content that can be covered as a full page

 * Content that is in-game.
 * Content that is confirmed canon to Databrawl's lore by DuncanDunclub.
 * Content that was formerly canon to Databrawl's lore, but was scrapped.

Tabber Organization
Tabber pages for characters generally follow this style of subpage naming:

(Page Name)/Main [For subpages that cover the main, regular variant of a character that does not have regular classes]

(Page Name)/Standard [For subpages that cover the standard variant of a character with regular classes]

(Page name)/Brawler [For subpages that cover the brawler variant of a character with regular classes]

(Page name)/Byte [For subpages that cover the byte variant of a character with regular classes]

(Page name)/Nybble [For subpages that cover the nybble variant of a character with regular classes]

(Page name)/Titan [For subpages that cover the titan variant of a character with regular classes]

(Page name)/Bodier [For subpages that cover the bodier variant of a character with regular classes]

(Page name)/Summoner [For subpages that cover the summoner variant of a character with regular classes]

(Page name)/(Class name) [For subpages that cover a unique variant of a character that is not a regular class]

Pages that contain tabber subpages should list the Main or Standard variant of a character first, i.e. like this:

Standard=


 * -|Brawler=

Tabber subpages (i.e. Shy Virus/Standard) do not receive categories. The main pages (i.e. Shy Virus) receive categories.
