Adherence to Wikipedia Manual of Style
In general, this wiki adheres to Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Specific exceptions to these styles are given below on a case by case basis. However, it is generally advisable to follow the Wikipedia guidelines in areas which are not specifically addressed.
Dragon Quest Wiki Specific Styles
- The article name, when first mentioned, should be bold.
- Game names and song titles should be italicized.
- In general, abbreviations or other shorthand should be avoided: when referring to Dragon Quest V, spell out the full title of the game, don't abbreviate it as DQV or DQ5. The same goes for role-playing game. Even though most editors will likely understand what you mean, the casual user may not be familiar enough with gaming terminology to make sense of what many of us take for granted.
- Games in the Dragon Quest series are numbered using Roman numerals, not Arabic numerals. In other words, you should refer to Dragon Quest IX, not Dragon Quest 9.
