| − | Best practices and tips for writing articles on the Ashes of Community Wiki. This guide is based on [[wikipedia:en:WP:SMOS|Wikipedia's Simplified Manual of style]].
| + | {{Stub}} |
| | | | |
| − | ==Capital letters==
| + | [[Social organizations]] are ways for players to interact with the world around them in a different manner. Social organizations function a little bit like factions. They are about creating micro communities within the game.<ref name="livestream-17-May-2017-7:27">[https://youtu.be/_fPIP8uu6Pc?t=7m27s Livestream, 17 May 2017 (7:27).]</ref> |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:CAP|SMOS:CAP]]
| |
| − | * Use [[wikipedia:en:sentence case|sentence case]] for article titles and section headings – '''Tips and pointers''', not '''Tips and Pointers'''.
| |
| − | * Capitalize the significant words of [[wikipedia:en:proper noun|proper nouns]], such as '''Intrepid Studios''' and '''Ashes of Creation'''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Citations (References)== | + | == Types == |
| − | [[metawikimedia:Help:Footnotes]]
| |
| − | * All significant claims must be supported by a citation to source material.
| |
| − | * A citation should immediately follow the text to which it applies, including any punctuation.
| |
| − | * We recommend using <code><ref></code> (''ref tags'') to create footnote citations, which appear in the notes section of the article.
| |
| − | * The markup <code><ref></code> ''Citation text'' <code></ref></code> produces a footnote linking to the citation text, providing the tag <code><references/></code> is present on the page.
| |
| − | * We recommend that <code><references/></code> is placed in a <code><nowiki>== Notes ==</nowiki></code> section at the end of the article.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Abbreviations==
| + | Different types of [[Social organizations]] have different objectives relating to their specific types of game play.<ref name="livestream-17-May-2017-7:27"/> |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:ABB|SMOS:ABB]] | |
| − | * In general, try to avoid using abbreviations unless they are commonplace.
| |
| − | * To indicate ''approximately'', the non-italicized abbreviation '''c.''' (followed by a space) is preferred over '''circa''', '''ca.''', or '''approx.'''
| |
| − | * Write '''US''' or '''U.S.''', but not '''USA'''.
| |
| − | * Use "and" instead of the "&" sign, except in tables, infoboxes, and official names like '''AT&T'''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Punctuation==
| + | * [[Thieve's guild]] |
| − | ===Apostrophes and quotation marks===
| + | * [[Scholar's academy]] |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:A&Q|SMOS:A&Q]] | + | * [[Trader's company]] |
| − | * Use straight quote marks <code><nowiki>"</nowiki></code> and apostrophes <code><nowiki>'</nowiki></code> as available from the keyboard, and not alternatives such as '''“ ”''' and '''‘ ’'''. | |
| − | * Italicize names of books, films, TV series, music albums, paintings, and ships—but not short works like songs or poems, which should be in quotation marks. | |
| − | * Both '''James' house''' and '''James's house''' are correct.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Periods and commas=== | + | == Joining == |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:P&C|SMOS:P&C]]
| |
| − | * Place a [[wikipedia:en:full stop|full stop]] (a period) or a comma [[wikipedia:en:Quotation Mark#punctuation|''before'']] a closing quotation mark if it belongs as part of the quoted material; otherwise put it after.
| |
| − | * An [[wikipedia:en:ellipsis|ellipsis]] should be written as three separate dots ('''...'''): not spaced ('''. . .'''), and not using the single-character option ('''…''').
| |
| − | * The [[wikipedia:en:serial comma|serial comma]] (for example the comma before ''and'' in "ham, chips, and eggs") is optional; be sensitive to possible ambiguity from thoughtless use or thoughtless avoidance.
| |
| − | * Avoid [[wikipedia:en:comma splice|comma splice]]s.
| |
| − | * Picture captions should not end in a full stop (a period) unless they are complete sentences.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Dashes and hyphens===
| + | Players may only pledge loyalty to one social organisation.<ref name="livestream-17-May-2017-7:27"/> |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:D&H|SMOS:D&H]]
| |
| − | * Avoid using a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb ('''a newly available home''').
| |
| − | * A hyphen is not a [[wikipedia:en:dash|dash]]. Hyphens are used within words or to join words, but not in punctuating the parts of a sentence. Use an en dash (–) with <code>&nbsp;</code> before and a space after; or use an em dash (—) without spaces. See [[wikipedia:en:How to make dashes|How to make dashes]]. Avoid using two hyphens <code><nowiki>--</nowiki></code> to make a dash; and avoid using a hyphen for a minus sign.
| |
| − | * Use an en dash, not a hyphen, between numbers: '''pp. 14–21'''; '''1953–2008'''. An en dash is also to connect parallel terms: '''red–green colorblind'''; '''a New York–London flight'''. Use spaces around the en dash only if the connected terms are multi-unit dates: '''January 1999 – December 2000'''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Dates and numbers ==
| + | * Social organizations are system generated. They are not owned by players.<ref name="livestream-17-May-2017-11:27">[https://youtu.be/_fPIP8uu6Pc?t=11m27s Livestream, 17 May 2017 (11:27).]</ref> |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:D&N|SMOS:D&N]]
| |
| − | * Write '''number 1''' or '''No. 1''', but not '''#1'''. Comic books are an exception. | |
| − | * Write '''12,000''' for twelve thousand, not '''12.000'''.
| |
| − | * Both '''10 June 1921''' and '''June 10, 1921,''' are correct, but be consistent within an article. A comma is not used if only the month is given, such as '''June 1921'''.
| |
| − | * '''400 AD''' and '''400 BC''' are correct; but so are '''400 CE''' and '''400 BCE'''. As always, use one style consistently in an article.
| |
| − | * Use '''one, two, three, ..., eight, nine''' in normal article text, not '''1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9''' (although there are many exceptional circumstances; and some other numbers may be written as words also).
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Markup== | + | == Leaving == |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:MKP|SMOS:MKP]]
| |
| − | * Instead of an ordinary space, use <code>&nbsp;</code> (a ''hard space'' or ''non-breaking space'') to prevent a line from ending in the middle of expressions.
| |
| − | * It does not matter how many spaces come after a period, because extra spaces will not show, although blank lines will create one extra line.
| |
| − | * Use [[wikipedia:en:wikilinks|wikilinks]], but only for words and phrases that are most likely to be helpful if clicked. Make sure each link goes to an article on the intended subject, and not to a disambiguation page or incorrect destination.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Usage==
| + | A player can switch organizations, but will lose progress in their previous organization.<ref name="livestream-17-May-2017-7:27"/> |
| − | [[wikipedia:en:SMOS:USG|SMOS:USG]]
| |
| − | * Ashes of Community Wiki prefers no major national variety of the language over any other. These varieties (e.g. [[wikipedia:en:U.S. English|U.S. English]], [[wikipedia:en:British English|British English]]) differ in vocabulary (''soccer'' vs. ''football''), spelling (''center'' vs. ''centre''), and occasionally grammar.
| |
| − | * Avoid words like ''I'', ''we'', and ''you'', except in quotations and names of works.
| |
| − | * Avoid phrases like '''note that''' and '''remember that''' (which assume "you" for the reader); and avoid such expressions as '''of course''' and '''obviously'''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Internationalization and localization == | + | == Benefits == |
| − | * All pages on Ashes of Community Wiki are candidates for translation into multiple languages | + | |
| − | * If a page has been translated, then click 'Edit source' to edit the entire page. The translation tag markers around section headings confuse section editing.
| + | These organizations may relate to which bosses might need to be killed first and may affect building progression of a [[Nodes|node]].<ref name="livestream-17-May-2017-7:27"/> |
| − | * You can copy and paste existing idioms, but if in doubt leave out all translation machinery and just write English.
| + | |
| | + | == Progression == |
| | + | |
| | + | A player progresses through the organisation by accomplishing [[Quests|tasks or quests]].<ref name="livestream-17-May-2017-7:27"/> |
| | + | |
| | + | * There are hierarchical paths pertaining to specific questlines for the organization's thematic. |
| | + | <blockquote>For example, a [[Thieve's guild]] may have objectives and quests toward securing a particular item to level up within the organization.</blockquote> |
