Revision as of 22:33, 14 July 2022

This style guide is a work in progress and subject to change.

Formatting

  • The name or topic of the article should be in bold the first time it appears.

Titles of works

  • The show itself and its individual seasons should all be italicized.
    • E.g., Friends at the Table, PARTIZAN, and Autumn in Hieron.
  • Other podcasts, as well as television shows, books, and other major works should also be italicized. See Wikipedia's style guide for further details.
    • E.g., A More Civilized Age is a Star Wars: The Clone Wars rewatch podcast.
  • Episode titles should be enclosed in double quotation marks.
    • E.g., "Four Conversations", "An Animal Out of Context", and "godspeed, glory Pt. 1". (Note that adjacent punctuation is placed outside any quotation marks when the punctuation is not part of the title itself.)

For further clarification, see Wikipedia's style guide.

Pages

Episodes

  • All episode pages should use Template:Infobox episode. See the documentation on the template page for an example/instructions of how to fill one out.
  • Episode pages should contain the following headers:
    • Episode description: copy the episode description from the podcast feed. You may have to fix some of the spacing and formatting in the process. No need to use blockquotes.
      • Opening: A transcription of the episode's opening. Use Template:Quote to format it.
    • Plot: A user contributed plot summary. If there is no summary, use Template:No plot.
    • Cast: A list of the cast members who are on the episode. Use parentheses to indicate the name of the character(s) they are playing, if applicable.
    • Notes: If there is any additional information about the episode not in the Infobox, it can go here.
