This is a list of guidelines for writing and formatting pages on this wiki.
Like all style guides, this list is not an end-all-be-all. If a rule makes your article hard to read or confusing, feel free to disregard it.
Layout[edit | edit source]
Item, relic and cosmetic pages should look like this:
<!-- Start a page with {{Item infobox}}, {{Relic infobox}} or {{Cosmetic infobox}} -->
==Obtaining==
<!-- This section can be omitted, see below -->
==Effects==
<!-- Start this section with {{Ingame description}} -->
==History==
Only items with "special" obtaining conditions should have an Obtaining section. This includes:
- Items obtained from goal rewards (e.g. reward #20 always gives 6 Cake Slices)
- Hidden upgraded items (e.g. Rice Cracker)
- Secret items (e.g. Omelette)
- Unobtainable items (e.g. Ethereum)
Only secret relics (e.g. API Key) should have an Obtaining section. If a relic is obtained from quests, the Obtaining section isn't needed.
Terminology[edit | edit source]
Try to match how terms are used in-game. For example, cosmetics are "obtained" because that's the term used in /cosmetics' About menu.
In particular:
- Relics and cosmetics are "obtained", "equipped" and "unequipped"
- Leaders are "set" (or "chosen"[1]) and "removed"[2]
- Profile themes are "unlocked"[3]
If a term is lowercase in-game (e.g. "profile themes"[3]), it should be lowercase on the wiki.
Use the "default" alias of terminal commands (that is, the one that appears in the heading when typing $ help [command]).
OK:
$ repaircmd,$ inventory
Don't use:$ repaircommand,$ inv
Use the word "player" when talking about the person playing, and "game" or "Zoo" when talking about Zoo itself.
Crown only works when the player has at least 100% zoo completion.
In the Zoo Cards minigame, the player collects trading cards of the game's animals.
The reader might not know who Colon is, so refer to him as "the developer", "Colon, the game's developer", or similar.
Formatting[edit | edit source]
Use <code></code> for slash commands, terminal folders and terminal files. Use {{cmd}} for terminal commands.
Auto-rescues can be disabled with <code>/settings</code>. The <code>/etc/calendar</code> folder contains the {{cmd|defer}} command. Usage: {{cmd|give [name or id]/[card]/[amount?]}}
Bolden the subject of an article.
Paintbrush is an item.
Format citations using Template:cite Discord, Template:cite changelog and Template:cite devlog. See also Category:Citation templates.
