Here I will be keeping track of my standards and the format I want to have each page be in.
FACT-based information. As few opinions as possible. Concise, easy-to-read. Precise vocabulary, used correctly.
Cutting out the redundant, the inane, streamlining, grammar checking.
Do not reference a source when a citation could be used instead. Cite only manga chapters, Sorachi's Question Corner answers, Ginpachi-sensei segments, and the Yorozuya Be Forever movie, as the last one was written by Sorachi and can be considered canon.
Character page format should follow thus:
- Character name (title)
- About (brief, details their current role in the story, perhaps roles held prior in the story)
- Appearance (list standard outfit + standard outfits of significant backstory portions, such as Gintoki's shiroyasha outfit or Asaemon's old skull mask)
- Personality (DO NOT mention the feelings of others toward the character. Focus on the character.)
- Abilities (Brief general statement followed by list, skills go from general (strength, endurance) to specific (Getsuga Tenshou))
- History (Backstory)
- Involvement (List involvement by plot arc)
- Relationships (List in chronological order, in this case "chronological" meaning chapter order, not Gintama timeline order. Note current status as friends/enemies/neither, KEEP IT BRIEF, list current situation. Under no circumstances list anything that is not backed by canon, such as shipping etc. (for example, Tsukki has a canon crush on Gintoki, but it is just as canonly unrequited, and will be noted as such; Otae has never canonically crushed on Gin, and so no attraction between the two will be noted.)
- Battles (If applicable)
- Trivia
- Quotes (Limit to 7, there are four pages worth of them on Gintoki's page alone, and while I love the guy most out of all the characters, that is simply excessive)
