I read your thoughts section, and I think it's a good start for those who don't know where to begin in writing and organizing articles! The reason why ZW doesn't have a manual of style, and may never have one, honestly, is because wiki editing, organization, and such is up to the user's discretion, especially at a small wiki like this one. Because we are community-based and the information is ever changing, a strict manual of style may restrict a better way of organizing and writing pages - chances are these pages as we see them will not look anything like they do now in the future, in order to provide the best possible organization and content as new information comes along. But I think you're on the right track, at our size and scope! ;) {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 02:22, 11 June 2010 (UTC) | I read your thoughts section, and I think it's a good start for those who don't know where to begin in writing and organizing articles!

:Thanks for the advice, good to see that someone took the proposal in consideration. My intention with the proposal is not necessarily to restrict the editing freedom, but to provide a model that can assist users, a guide of sorts (and it doesn't have to be as severe as the Wikipedia MOS). I mean, when I came to the wiki for the first time, certain pages had sections that could also be useful for other articles. For example, only ''Majora's Mask'' had a Reception section, only ''The Adventure of Link'' had a Legacy section (and it was known in those times as "Pros"), only ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Twilight Princess'' (well, perhaps ''Ocarina of Time'' too) had Timeline Placement sections, etc. Then I thought: "Hmmm . . . and what if each game article had each section like these?" And you already know what happened later =P. But it's OK if there isn't an official MOS; as I said, I simply want to make the articles less convoluted. Same goes for dungeon articles, boss articles, etc. Perhaps the best tool for an editor is to '''use common sense'''. | |||
:P.S.: What do you think about the new scheme of my userpage? Just a question =). --[[User:K2L|K2L]] 02:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
