Article Guidelines?

Article Guidelines?

I personally haven't touched this yet because I haven't completed most of the mainstream yet. That said, I think we should discuss article guidelines for future, more qualified editors.

1) Style: Narrative or the more traditional encyclopedia-like? It seems we're leaning toward the latter.

2) Context: In-universe or out-of-universe? i.e. Should we refer to the PC as the Milletian or the player? Either way, "you" should be out.

3) Level of detail: Self-explanatory.

Feel free to add in anything that you feel should be discussed.

Just my answers: 1) At the moment it's leaning to the encyclopedia, but that's mostly because it was taken almost straight out from each of the respective generation walkthroughs. I want to change it to a narrative style, though. Please help? 2)In-universe, to keep it with the narrative style. I'm against referring to the character as the player. I sorta like the second-person, though, because it really is the person reading going through this. 3) This should probably include the little details of the commentary, and probably quotes as well, but obviously the grinding battles against the regular monsters should be summarized, unless a monster is notably powerful (like the Blinker). Bosses, yes, we should describe them, and maybe their weaknesses.

I have to agree with Akira. Most of it is pretty opinionated and pretty messy. Summarizing is pretty important, too.

Take a look at the Doppelganger part within Generation 10. It's descriptive enough to reveal what the Doppelganger does and what is useless and useful in the battle (thank Akira for that).
