This article is a style guide for the TotalFreedom Wiki, and is meant to help editors adhere to a consistent standard of style and formatting throughout every article on this wiki.

For a complete Manual of Style, the Wikipedia Manual of Style should be consulted, as this is only meant to be a reference for the TotalFreedom Wiki's specific guidelines. Covering every single situation would take a very long time.

Article titles

Article titles should be straightforward and easy to read. Articles in mainspace[fn 1] should be in title case. If the topic is of an event on TotalFreedom, the year that the event took place should prefix the title. Exceptions are made for articles if the topics name has specific wording.

Some examples include:

  • 2022 Akefu Raids
  • 2017 UYScutix Revolution
  • 2023 Server Shutdown

Introduction (lead section)

The introduction, or the lead section, is an introduction to an article and an overview of its contents. The introduction should be capable of providing an overview of an article and its contents within four paragraphs, while also being written in a clear accessible style.

The article's subject should be included in the lead at the earliest natural point, and should also be in bold text. An example being:

The Akefu Raids were a series of attacks against the server that lasted from early May 2022 to late June 2022.

General writing style

Articles should be written in a third-person perspective with a neutral point of view.

Notes

  1. ex: does not have a prefix of "Community:" or similar
