In-universe writing
[edit]- all character pages and story summaries are written in-universe, so we don't say things like "In (story) (character) did (something). Instead, we use storylinks: (character) did (something). {{storylink|Primal Fear!}, which looks like this (character) did (something). {{storylink|Primal Fear!}. If the info comes from a profile book, tech spec, catalog, interview or similar, we do something like this: <ref>Weaknesses from Jhiaxus' ''Universe'' profile for his ''Robots in Disguise'' toy, printed in [[Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine, issue 1]].</ref> and put
===References=== <references/>
at the end of the article: this gives
info [1]

- Thanks. I tried searching the Help pages, but I couldn't figure out what "out-universe" meant. (Did I miss it?) --GrantB 03:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Huh. So it isn't. I'd add it, if I wasn't so lazy after adding all of those DreamMix TV articles. —Interrobang 03:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- This wiki is sorely lacking in updated documentation to help newer editors. The problem is we keep thinking up new ways to do things without updating our help pages. --FFN 06:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
