Ghibli Wiki:Manual of Style

The Manual of Style is a style guide for all Ghibli wiki articles and official documents.

Article titles and headings
For pages, always make sure the title is accurate and has a source backing up the name. All articles titles on the wiki should be the person, vehicle, or locations official name. You can usually find these names in Ghibli films and Ghibli books.

For characters headings should be laid out as such;


 * Lead
 * Story
 * Appearance
 * Personality
 * Trivia (If needed.)
 * Inspiration (If needed.)

For cameo characters or minor characters it should be;


 * Lead (The lead is used as the story section if the characters inclusion if it is short.)
 * Appearance

For locations it should be laid out as;


 * Lead
 * Appearance
 * Layout (If we see the interior well enough in the film. For example the Bathhouse.)
 * Story (If it is a major enough location.)

For vehicles it should be laid out as;


 * Lead
 * Appearance
 * Equipment (If needed. For an example Marco's Savoia S.21 has two machine guns on the nose.)

For misc things like items or food it should be played out as;


 * Lead (No inbox for items/food.)
 * Characteristics

Past and present tense
Pages should be written as if they are being written as the events are happening to characters in present tense. Events that take place before the films like Chihiro falling into the kohaku river should be written in past tense.
