The '''Manual of Style''' is the guide to how to style and format all When They Cry Wiki articles.
== Summaries ==
Due to this wiki's dedication to a media franchise, summaries are among the most important aspect of any article, especially those pertaining to main-line content story arcs. The following rule should guide any and all summary writing: A summary should not be a thoroughly suitable replacement for consuming the original work. As such, excessively detailed summaries that sacrifice readability for the sake of completeness should be avoided.
== Article titles, headings, and sections ==
=== Page structure ===
==== Character pages ====
Character pages should generally respect the following structure:
<pre>
== Profile ==
=== Background ===
=== Appearance ===
=== Personality ===
== Plot ==
(Any story arcs relevant to the character and summaries of their involvement)
== Trivia == (if applicable)
== See also/References/External links ==
</pre>
If in doubt, use the page for [[Rika Furude]] as a reference. Any character with a sprite should be given their own article. Characters who appear in anime adaptations or manga adaptations but have no existing sprite should be added to a pertinent "Lesser Characters" page unless there is an adequate reason for them to be given their own page (e.g. [[Sayo Yasuda]]).
==== Episode pages ====
Episode pages should generally respect the following structure:
<pre>
== Summary ==
== Characters ==
(list of characters in order of appearance)
== Trivia == (if applicable)
</pre>
If a character appears for the first time '''in the entire anime''' then add (first appearance) to their name under the "Characters" section. By entire anime, this includes previous seasons (e.g. if [[Rika Furude]] first appears in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (anime)|Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', do not add a (first appearance) tag to her first appearance in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei (anime)|Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei]]'', the third season of the ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' anime).
==== Story arc pages ====
Story arc pages should generally respect the following structure:
<pre>
== Plot ==
== Characters ==
=== Villagers ===
=== Outsiders ===
=== Mentioned ===
== Deaths and Disappearances ==
All deaths and disappearances are listed only as they are told in [current arc] and apply only for the individual arc, not the overall series.
== Poem/Endroll == (if applicable)
== Media == (if applicable)
=== Chapters ===
=== Volumes ===
=== Episodes ===
== Trivia == (if applicable)
== See also/References/External links ==
</pre>
If in doubt, use the page for {{matsuribayashi}} as a reference.
=== Section headings ===
Line 13 ⟶ 73:
<ref>{{cite web|title=|url=|archive-url=|archive-date=|}}</ref>
</pre>
== Copyrighted material ==
