	The '''Manual of Style''' is a guide that applies to all articles, standardizing specific spelling, capitalization, and grammar. Some of these have two or more choices that may vary usage within the wiki. These should not be changed without proper reasoning unless the usage varies within one article itself, in which case it should be changed to fit.

	It should be noted that some of the style practices may occasionally contradict the usage from that of ''Everybody Edits'' or ~~one of~~ its ~~official~~ staff members. This is because style choices are made consistent within the wiki, where as the game has some inconsistency regarding terminology, spelling, and capitalization. If the game gains an official consistent style regarding any of these consistencies, the wiki will accordingly be modified to fit these standards.
