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)
