PROTOTYPE STYLE GUIDE

Mostly for the sake of organizing my own thoughts and reminding myself what the hell I'm doing:

Normal Pages
For example, something like incubus. Generally free text; if you're quoting short passage of book material use "italics for the quoted part" and grey blocks for longer quotes (see below).

What gets a page? In general every "thing in the MGE world" should get a page, but for some of them it's impractical because there's not enough information. For example, the Treasured Child Tree is obviously an important "thing in the MGE world", but since it only gets mentioned in that one passage in World Guide 2, an article about it would just be that WG2 section as a quote and nothing else. Which is stupid and could be better served by just linking to the subsection in WG2. As such, give something its own article if it's mentioned in more than one place. Basically, as soon as "just linking to the subsection of the book page" wouldn't suffice to provide all the information, THEN make a page for it.

Book Pages
Pages for Category:Books should be, as best as possible, verbatim quotes of the original translation (although a brief summary at the top is acceptable). See, for example, Monster Girl Encyclopedia I.

Since the whole page is one big long quote, it should all be in the big grey boxes, e.g.:

Spirit Energy
The section headers need to be actual ===headers===, in order that you can Link to them. Note how the pic is inside the grey box.
