PinataIsland.info:Style guide
This is a starting draft of a Style guide for the PinataIsland.info wiki. It contains conventions about formatting and layout for the articles.
At some point, it will probably have a bit more content up top, but for now, we'll use examples to address the various topics.
Examples
What it looks like | What you type |

Please sign and date any comments you add to a Talk (discussion) page: Viva Pinata is great! --FeralKitty 02:09, 13 November 2006 (EST)
|
Viva Pinata is great! --~~~~ |
Please separate your Talk page comments from another user's comments with two blank lines. This makes it easier to read separate people's comments: I like Bunnycombs! --FeralKitty 00:37, 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: |

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 [[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 page: Buy 4 apples, 2 apple seeds, and 1 apple tree. Turn 1 apple into a toffee apple.
|
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? |
