General
- Refer occasionaly to Wikipedia for examples of articles and try to model it.
- If you are making an article similar to another one, try to copy it's style.
- Try and maintain a neutral viewpoint on articles, articles are not made to voice opinion.
- Do not write in the first-person or second-person.
- Try and make page titles singular, unless the article is about unless the article is about a group of things or people.
- All words in page titles and headings should have a capital letter, unless it is a small work such as 'and' or 'the',
Lists V.S. Articles
- Here at Wii Sports Wiki we prefer that each Mii, sport, location, object, ect, ect have it's own article instead of being grouped into a list.
- If you feel it is neccesary, then you can create a list that link to a more specific article. Please refrain from using long explainitory paragraphs in lists.
Mii Articles
- Mii articles should be kept brief, make sure you include, it's name, it's stats, which game it's in, and (if possible) a picture. Please refer to the Lucia article for an example.
Sport Articles
- Sport articles should be the most extensive articles, containing, name of sport, game it's in, variations, an explaination of gameplay. Please refer to the Air Sports and Baseball articles for an example.
