I like Bunnycombs! --FeralKitty 00:37, 13 November 2006 (EST)

They're ok. --Spartan 00:41, 13 November 2006 (EST)

But... Galagoogoos are best! --Spartan 00:44, 13 November 2006 (EST)

Please capitalize species names. All other names (plants, trees, items, colors, etc.) should be lowercase:

Your Moozipan is eating my daisies.

Your [[Moozipan]] is eating my [[Daisy|daisies]].

Please use the following wording for variant information -- Feeding it a item changes its color to color. Example:

Feeding it a turnip changes its color to purple.
Feeding it a water lily seed changes its color to red.
Feeding it a watercress changes its color to green.

• Please use line breaks (<br />) instead of separate table rows for the variant table.

Feeding it a [[turnip]] changes its color to purple.<br />
Feeding it a [[Water Lily|water lily seed]] changes its color to red.<br />
Feeding it a [[watercress]] changes its color to green.

Please link related items (e.g. apples, apple seeds, and apple trees) to their common article:

Buy 4 apples, 2 apple seeds, and 1 apple tree.

Turn 1 apple into a toffee apple.

• Tinkered items should be linked to the transformation article so a visitor can easily determine what item to transform.

Buy 4 [[Apple Tree|apples]], 2 [[Apple Tree|apple seeds]], and 1 [[apple tree]].

Turn 1 [[Apple Tree|apple]] into a [[Transformation|toffee apple]].

Please link the first occurrence of a term in a section. Other nearby occurrences should not be linked:

My Buzzlegums killed my Raisant. Are Buzzlegums and Raisants enemies?

My [[Buzzlegum]]s killed my [[Raisant]].  Are Buzzlegums and Raisants enemies?
