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.

== Capitalization ==
== Current sandbox articles ==


=== Game content ===
* [[User:N1KF/Sandbox/Gold_Membership|Gold Membership]]
 
* [[User:N1KF/Sandbox/Manual_of_Style|Manual of Style]]
When used in an article, '''general terms''' referring to a variety of objects (such as smiley, block, world, or package) are not capitalized unless used at the beginning of a sentence or in an article title. '''Specific titles''', such as "Red Ninja" or "Beta" are capitalized, along with the things they represent if used after the name ("Worker Smiley" or "Massive World"). The "of" in "Helen of Sparta" should not be capitalized.
 
Features, such as "gems" and "magic," are generally not capitalized, to match with the preferred spelling within ''Everybody Edits''. "Energy Shop" is always capitalized, regardless of usage.
 
* '''Correct''': A Massive World may be filled with lots of blocks, such as the Factory Package or Pastel Backgrounds.
* '''Incorrect''': The Bully smiley costs ten Energy.
 
=== Article and section titles ===
 
Article titles should be spelled in '''title case''', meaning that all words but unimportant ones ("a," "an," "the," etc.) in the title are capitalized.
 
* '''Correct''': Minigame Levels
* '''Incorrect''': Minigame levels
 
Section heading titles should be in '''sentence case''', meaning that the section is spelled the same as the beginning of a grammatically correct sentence.
 
* '''Correct''': External links
* '''Incorrect''': External Links
 
== Spelling ==
 
=== Spelling of "smilies" ===
 
'''Smileys''', while incorrect spelling outside this wiki, is used in the game more commonly. '''Smilies''', while correct, is less often used in the game. A writer may choose either "smileys" or "smilies," but this should be consistent within an article. "Smiley" should always be used instead of "smilie," regardless of the used plural form used in the article.
 
=== Inconsistent smiley names ===
 
Several smiley names have been changed, such as "Working Smiley" to "Worker Smiley," and "Christmas Smiley" to "Santa Smiley." The '''most recent name''' should be used. In case there are still inconsistent names, either may be used, but the name seen on profile pages take superiority in page titles (such as "Night Vision" over "Nightvision").
