This style guide shows simple markups, elements, and formatting used in this wiki.
Contents
Language
Only objective language should be used in this wiki. While it is permissible to make notes regarding the success or failure, cult status, and popularity of a video (Such as noting a films poor showing at the box office, yet becoming a beloved cult classic on home video), but such content should be used sparingly, and then only when a reference is provided.
Subjective interpretations of a video should not be included in its entry. It is, however, permissible to make such interpretations in the discussion page for a given entry.
Block formating
To render the code visible start a new line with a blank space before the markup <nowiki>. A template needs to be developed to allow better rendering.
Breadcrumbs
There is no extension for breadcrumbs installed on this wiki, however breadcrumbs can be added manually with the following markup:
:<font size=1>[[Main Page]] > [[Style Guide]]</font>
Which renders as:
- Main Page > Style Guide
It is important to note that certain pages link from multiple categories, such as Music Instruction which links from both Music and Educational & Instructional, and in these cases both possible paths should be included in the bread crumbs, separated by a vertical line with the following markup:
:<font size=1>[[Main Page]] > [[Music]] | [[Educational & Instructional]] > [[Music Instruction]]</font>
Which, when installed on the Music Instruction page, will render as:
- Main Page > Music | Educational & Instructional > Music Instruction
