Narutopedia:Manual of Style

This is the Narutopedia's Manual of Style, please do not do any reorganization and cleanup of wikitext on the wiki unless you are fixing things to follow this style guideline.

Characters

 * (main) - The beginning section with general intro. This is the one without a section name.
 * Background - Historical and background information on the character.
 * Personality - Information on the character's personality.
 * Appearance - Physical description of the character.
 * Abilities - Information on the characters special abilities and techniques.
 * Jinchūriki Transformations
 * Kekkei Genkai - Specific Kekkei Genkai abilities.
 * Taijutsu
 * Ninjutsu
 * Genjutsu
 * Nature Transformation
 * Other info - Things like Naruto's history with the Demon fox should be placed in this area. Or perhaps made as a subsection of an appropriate section.
 * Part in the Story - Section container, the characters actions within the story would be here.
 * Part I
 * Some arc
 * Part II
 * Some other arc
 * Trivia - Trivia items. Organized in list format using * at the start of the line (Stylistically a space after that * would be nice.)
 * Quotes - Character quotes. The character shouting out a Jutsu name shouldn't be considered a jutsu though. Organized in the same way as Trivia. If there are multiple language forms to a character quote, it should link to an article like Dattebayo and Believe it!.
 * References - ''Just the ==References== section with a and   are pointless, only   should be used.
 * Don't bypass redirects using things like  make use of the redirect properly with.

Common improper style changes

 * Do not change "Pain" to "Pein", "Pain" is the correct name.
 * Do not change "Nine-Tailed Demon Fox" or "Nine Tails" to "Kyūbi."
 * Do not change "Hyuga," "Shippuden," or anything to a 'uu' such as "Hyuuga," or "Shippuuden."
 * Do not go adding last names to links unless you have a valid reason to do so (full character name hasn't been used earlier in the article). Full names should not be abused to bypass redirects.
 * Do not change page numbers in ref tags to have a leading zero. Going around the wiki and changing 3 to 03 despite most pages sticking to 3 doesn't improve the wiki at all and just adds pointless edits, just stick with 3.
 * For the Sage Mode and its techniques, we use "Sage" instead of "Hermit."
