Style Guide for Staff

Introduction

This page contains information for Staff members and Wiki Authors to understand Style Editing. It ensures a quality conforming of all pages to both be functional in design, informative in content, and beautiful in appearance. Every page must strive to have all these qualities. This is only relevant for Staff.

Draft Styling

Pages are offloaded onto Draft:Pagename before they are released for publication. While writing, each section will have an image header to tone-indicate the status of that section.

• means completely ready for publication/review.
• means "please assist in shortening this section by summary".
• means "review later, or unsure about quality of writing".
• means "author refuses to write, someone else must take over".

This is an example of a good gallery. It is good because it has the following traits:

• The images are of a similar design philosophy and feel like they belong together in one set.
• The text under the images has the same "line" height. If one text had more text and skipped over to the next "line", it would be ugly.
• The spacing of the images is across the width of the page. This works with uneven images.
• If the images need to be larger and would naturally skip across to the next row, make sure the gallery is even in number.
• Galleries when used as a category referral like this, should generally have small-ish images to promote readablity, no more than 50% of page lenght.
• Galleries that have larger images are however permitted on category only pages such as on the Religions Page, but avoided on text pages
• The images have a black border on light color, meaning it still works both on light and dark mode template for the wiki
• The images avoid transparency which only works when using complete black borders to separate from the background.
