The S-Ranks That I Raised Wiki:Manual of Style

This page is a guide to the general editing policies of. It is recommended that all users read this prior to editing or creating articles on the Wiki, as having users write articles in a standardized manner would save editors a lot of correction work.

For a specific guide to the organization of various types of articles, see the article organization guidelines.

The content of this page is constantly undergoing review and editing as the Wiki grows and develops. Anything here is subject to change.

This documentation format is derived from the Undertale Wiki's own documentation.

Article content

 * As stated in the regulations, all content in articles must be factual i.e. canonical. Any speculation, conjecture, or theorizing may only be added if there is  strong evidence  to support it in canon. Said evidence must be sourced.
 * Article content should be appropriately sourced, so that its accuracy may be verified. See the References and citations section for a guide on how to format and add sources.
 * As far as possible, articles must remain focused and accurate to their subject. If another article's content is relevant to the main article, summarize or explain the relevant content in a concise manner, rather than elaborating excessively.
 * Use Plain English as far as possible, and avoid unnecessarily complex language. However, do not use slang or colloquial terms. Keep a balance between formality and accessibility. If in doubt about how to do this, feel free to ask the Staff.
 * For living characters, always write articles in present tense. This includes the Synopsis section on pages, which describes the subject's involvement in the series. The History section, however, should always be in past tense; this is the section which describes the subject's history prior to the start of the series.
 * Dead characters' articles should be in past tense throughout. In the case that a character is active even after their death (due to being undead, having resurrected, or due to the regression), however, the article should be in present tense.

Terminology and naming

 * On this Wiki, we aim to adhere as far as possible to recognizable names and terminology. We will generally use spellings as established by dreamstl. Official romanizations for character names will be listed on the characters' pages themselves.
 * Use "rank" for Awakened people, monsters, dungeons, and items. Do not use "class" or "grade".
 * When in doubt about which version of a name/term is being used, check for the article about the relevant topic, or search for prior mentions of the topic on other articles.

Files
Non-animated images should be PNG files. Animated images should be either a GIF file or video link. You may upload files to the Wiki for in comments, blog posts, message threads etc., although these must be placed in Category:User files. Images that are used in mainspace articles should be placed in Category:Gallery files.

Although there are no strict standards for mainspace file naming, users are advised to name files in the format. Use spaces instead of underscores.


 * Example 1: An image of Han Yoojin from his character profile in S-Ranks E-Books volume 1 has the subject Han Yoojin and the image is sourced from the Volume 1 [Character] Profile. Therefore, the appropriate filename would be.


 * Example 2: The portrait for Han Yoojin from the original S-Ranks cover has the general subject "Han Yoojin", and is from the original S-Ranks cover of the webnovel, rather than the E-Books. Therefore, the appropriate filename would be.


 * Example 3: The webnovel cover of S-Ranks, with its name written in Korean, has the general subject "S-Ranks", the specfici subject "webnovel cover", and is the Korean language version. Therefore, the appropriate filename would be.

Headings and sub-headings

 * Article headings should be written in Sentence case—that is to say, only the first word of the heading should be capitalized. Do not use Title Case, where every word outside of prepositions and short conjunctions is capitalized.
 * Article headings should not contain italicization, bolding, or any other kind of formatting.
 * If dividing a section into pre- and post-regression sections, list them as "Original timeline, pre-regression" and "New timeline, post-regression" in full, for clarity.

Tables

 * Tables use the  class.
 * Tables with the first column as headings use the  class.

Links

 * 1) There should only be one link to a page in an article that mentions said page several times. For instance, though Han Yoojin's article mentions his little brother many times, the page Han Yoohyun should only be linked the first time his name is mentioned. Some exceptions to this rule exist:
 * 2) * When there are links leading to different subsections of the same article
 * 3) * When one link is in the infobox and the other is in the main body of the article
 * 4) * On Character articles, where characters must be linked in at most three places:
 * 5) *# Within the infobox Character itself
 * 6) *# When they appear in the main body of the article
 * 7) *# Their names if used as headings in the "Relationships" section
 * 8) * On Chapter, Arc, and Volume articles, where characters must be linked in three places:
 * 9) *# The "New Character(s)" section in the infobox
 * 10) *# When they appear in the "Summary" section
 * 11) *# The "Characters" section under the "Features" heading
 * 12) Section headers must not include links! Place all links in the body of the article.
 * 13) The only exception to this is the "Relationships" section of Character articles, where each heading should be a link to the character in question.
 * 14) Wherever possible, create internal links or interwiki links, as applicable. This rule is particularly applicable when referencing S-Ranks chapters—you must link to the chapter article on the Wiki, not to the chapter itself on Ridibooks/Munpia etc., or the translations on Tumblr.

Code standards and spacing
Spacing in the source code, although not generally visible to most users, is enforced for readability purposes.

{| class="wikiatable" style="text-align: left" ! Bad ! Good
 * Bullet
 * Point
 * List
 * Point

 * 1) Numbered

Leave a blank line between all elements, except in two cases: Space must be left between a heading and subheadings.
 * between, before, and after magic words
 * for paragraph content directly under its immediate heading/subheading.

__MAGICWORD1HERE__ __MAGICWORD2HERE__

This is an introduction to an article.

Pre-regression
Appearance goes here.

Post-regression
Appearance goes here.

References and citations
As far as possible, all content on this Wiki should have a citation to a reliable source for verification and reference purposes. Reliable sources include the official Korean S-Ranks chapters, the unofficial translations, Geunseo's posts on Munpia or Ridibooks, or newspaper articles/other official publications.

Visual Editor
Use of the Visual Editor is recommended when adding references to an article.

To add references in Visual Editor:
 * 1) Select the   option on the top menu.
 * 2) Select the   option from the   menu.
 * 3) In the window that appears, you can either:
 * 4) * create a new reference, following the formatting rules listed below
 * 5) * link to a pre-existing reference. To do this, select the  button on the bottom left, then select the reference you want from the window that pops up
 * 6) At the end of the article, check to see if a references section has already been added. If not, insert the References heading  and   tag directly above any category links.

Source editor
To add references in source editor, use the following code:

This is text with a citation.

For items sharing a reference, you can assign the reference a name, and later use that name to refer back to the applicable reference.

This is text with a citation.

The nametag from the first reference will automatically call that same reference for multiple inline citations.

Later, you can reuse this reference.

The above code will produce the following. Note the reference error!


 * This is text with a citation.
 * The nametag from the first reference will automatically call that same reference for multiple inline citations.
 * Later, you can reuse this reference.

,, and so on. However, this should be changed:
 * For references to S-Ranks chapters, change the name to the pattern, where   is the chapter number. For instance, a reference to chapter 73 would be  , while one to chapter 672 might be.
 * Other references may use any other names, so long as they follow Fandom's reference naming rules: they muse be at least one character long, and not entirely made up of numbers.

At the end of an article, before any categorization, insert the heading "References" followed by the  tag. If there are 10 or more unique references in an article, place the  tag inside a Scrollbox template to make it more easily navigable.

Placement
Inline citations are placed immediately after the text they apply to. If the content drawn from the source is an entire paragraph, the citation should be placed at the end of the paragraph, and not at the end of the first sentence. Any punctuation, excluding dashes and brackets, should be placed immediately before the reference.

If there are 3 or more citations in quick succession within a single sentence, place all the citations at the end of the sentence instead.

Formatting
Wherever possible, links to external sites should be archived, and the archived version linked as well. For pages not in English, attempt to locate translated versions and link/archive those as well. At the end of the main reference, place links to the archived and translated pages in brackets, as below. Omit any links you do not have or cannot find.

Main reference here (archived version, translated version, archived translation)
 * Example
 * "유료화 공지입니다.", Geunseo, 19 August 2018 (archived version)

Novel chapters and webtoon episodes
Link the Wiki article for the relevant chapter or episode. Don't link to the Tumblr/Ridibooks/Munpia pages for chapters, or the LINE Webtoon/Naver Series/Kakao pages for episodes; these will be linked on the article for the relevant chapter or episode itself.

The S-Ranks That I Raised Novel: Chapter
 * Example: The S-Ranks That I Raised Novel: Chapter 89

The S-Ranks That I Raised Webtoon: Episode
 * Example: The S-Ranks That I Raised Webtoon: Episode 10

References to both chapters and webtoon episodes can be combined as follows:

The S-Ranks That I Raised Novel and Webtoon: Chapter and Episode
 * Example: The S-Ranks That I Raised Novel and Webtoon: Chapter 89 and Episode 10

Chapter comments
Write the citation as "Comments on Chapter ##", followed by the username of the user who posted the comment. End the line with a colon and include the comment itself on the next line, indented and italicized. Place an internal link on the chapter number. If the comment is added in a reblog or in tags, place a link to the reblogged post on the username. If the comment is in a reply, place an external link to the user's profile on their username.


 * The main body of the comment must be included in the reference. The comment will thus be archived, in case it is later deleted. In addition, comments in replies cannot be directly linked, and there is no way to access them otherwise.

Note: if the chapter has already been linked to earlier in the page or in an earlier reference, do not link it in the chapter comment reference.

Comments on Chapter, user UserName:
 * Comment goes here.


 * Example
 * Comments on Chapter 21, user peemple:
 * Man's really said "F the system"

Posts by the author
Write the name of the Munpia blog post with a link attached. Follow it with Geunseo's name, as well as the date of the original post.

"Post name", Geunseo, DD MMMM YYYY
 * Example
 * "유료화 공지입니다.", Geunseo, 19 August 2018

Novel Updates Forum posts
Link NUF, then follow it with the phrase "post by user UserName" linked to the relevant post. If including the post content, end the line with a colon and include the relevant post content on the next line, indented and italicized. Else, end the reference at "post by user UserName". As a rule, include the post content.


 * With post content

Novel Updates Forum, post by user UserName:
 * Post content goes here.


 * Without post content

Novel Updates Forum, post by user UserName


 * Example : With post content
 * Novel Updates Forum, post by user moneng85:
 * Welp, seeing how there is no spoiler thread yet…


 * Example : Without post content
 * Novel Updates Forum, post by user moneng85

News articles
List the title in quotes, followed by the name of the author (if available) and the italicized name of the news source. End the citation with the date. Place the link only on the title of the article.

Article name, Writername for News-source, DD MMMM YYYY


 * Example
 * "‘신과함께’ 제작사 ‘전지적 독자 시점’ 영화화 “글로벌 프로젝트될 것”", Park Areum for Newsen, 18 September 2019

Tumblr posts, Tweets, and other social media
Though social media is generally not a reliable source, if Twitter/Tumblr etc. posts have helpful information, one may link them. However, users should be aware that information drawn from such sources is subject to immediate removal if it is found to be false/unreliable.

When linking social media posts, write the post type, then attribute it to the bolded username of the author. Place a link to the post on the whole statement. Ideally, follow this up with a link to the archived post on Wayback Machine.

Post by user UserName Post by user UserName, archived version here


 * Example
 * Tweet by user wovenstarlight

If including the content of posts in the reference, one may use the same structure as for NUF posts including content. That is to say, end the line with a colon and include the relevant post content on the next line, indented and italicized.

Citation needed
In the case that you come across content without a citation, attempt to verify it yourself. If you cannot verify it, place the template Citation needed in front of the relevant content, as you would place a normal citation. This will add the article to Category:Articles lacking sources, from where community members can then help fill out proper citations.

If Citation needed is added to your edit, attempt to find a citation. Do not add this template to an edit that is obviously spam, shitposting, or other content. Additionally, do not add this template in an attempt to cast doubt onto another editor's work, or for other malicious reasons.
