Forum:How shall we handle the writing style of the wiki?

I had a discussion of how certain wikis take an encyclopedic approach to it; its writing is portrayed in an "in-universe" perspective (characters are written in a last name basis, removal of all meta terms like protagonist or episode from the characters' pages and so forth). Should we take the same, leave it as is, or find a way to re-work certain aspects of it, like renaming the names of events or fixing the descriptions of the fights/arcs?

 * I don't really think there is anything wrong with how we write our articles, as long as the policies are obeyed and the articles form a good narrative I don't see a point in changing it!! There is nothing wrong with using their first names as there are plenty of characters with the same last name so I think it's fine the way it is!! We don't use out-of-universe wording in our articles and when people do it is swiftly reverted!!


 * As Sun rightly says, our pages are already using in-universe style, it is even in the manual of style that they are to be written in such a style. There may be some pages out there that have been neglected etc, but most of them are in-universe. The remaining ones are corrected as they are found. If there are specific pages you had in mind, could you list them please and they'll be looked at. There is no issue with how character names are written here in my view. 11:01, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

We are an english wiki, so we write in the english style, it is as simple as that. -- 11:52, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
