Pandora's Tale Wiki:Manual of Style

There is no Manual of Style. Currently, there is only one active editor on Pandora's Tale Wiki. This page documents some of the style practices I am following and their justifications.

Should any new editors join the wiki, they do not necessarily need to adhere to any of the practices on this page (these style practices are not rules). If new editors do join, then they should discuss what the actual Manual of Style should say, and none of the practices here should be given precedent just because I did them first.

While I remain the only active editor, I might change anything on this page at any time for any reason or no reason at all.

Article Names

I usually try to use "official" names given in the comic itself or in Xan's commentary. Sometimes, unnamed characters are given short descriptions in the comic script (which is available as alt-text to the comic on Mastodon). These short descriptions are not always suitable for use as article titles, and Xan explained why on the talk page for The Courier. Hence, I will not automatically consider these descriptions "official names" even though they do come from Xan.

Articles About Real People

I have no plans to make articles about real people. There is an article about Adrian, but I didn't make it: Adrian did. "Xan" currently redirects to Xan's user page (which she made). I have no plans to write articles for other real people, even those who appear in TTMTTP.
