User blog:PlasmoidThunder/A Few Common Practices

I see some people are pitching in to help transfer over to the new layout -- thanks.

This is not what this blog is about, however. I'm not naming names or pointing fingers, but most of the time I have to go around fixing up tiny mistakes that the converter should've done if they'd actually read my original blog post. For the sake of currentness, I shall go through the things you may have overlooked.

Capitalisation of certain words
I know, I know. In the past I've probably complained at you for capitalising "Power" when used as a property, or just in general for words like "Special" and "Hyper". Forget everything I said about that. Stats should be capitalised and so should technical words like "Special", "Hyper", "Normal" ("attack" should be capitalised when referring to either of those three, like "Special Attack"), "Super Jump", "Super Armo(u)r", etc. No need to capitalise things like "run", "jump" and "stand", though. Don't capitalise words if they're not in the correct context for capitalisation; if a move was called Super hyper Jump armour Run, do not "fix" the capitalisation.

Move names in italics
Self-explanatory; move names should be written in italics. Hadouken, Sneaky Scythe, Overdrive Pulse Cannon, etc. Move names are automatically written in italics in the CommandList template, so you don't have to do this there.

Table of Contents and spacing
To make sure the gameplay header doesn't overlap with the infobox, please but the following code underneath the infobox:

What this does is generate the Table of Contents in the place it should be while making sure the header goes below the infobox.

Victory quotes
Inserting victory quotes is much easier now. Instead of using, use. For character-specific victory quotes, use.


 * "This is my victory quote!"

Becomes...

"This is my victory quote!"

Or in the case of a character specific victory quote...


 * "This is my victory quote!" [vs. Kung Fu Man]

Becomes...

"This is my victory quote!"

- vs. Kung Fu Man

So much easier, no?

Categories
I haven't seen much trouble with this one, fortunately. Still, please go here for a full list of categories relating to version articles. Always use.

Others
Still pending. Will update sooner or later.
