New page

The '''Manual of Style''' is a set of rules that keeps every page on the [[Glue3D Wiki]] looking and feeling consistent. Following these guidelines makes the Wiki more professional and easier to read.
For more explanation, look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simplified_Manual_of_Style

Or for a more detailed explination, I recommend looking at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style

(this covers everything, so stuff might be off-topic for Glue3D)

== Tone and Voice ==
Always write from a neutral, third-person perspective.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! DON'T write !! DO write
|-
| "I think this mod is really cool" || "This mods adds real time multiplayer to Glue3D."
|-
| "You should download this right now" || "The download links are available on the mod's GitHub repository." (although, we usually just add the link in the infobox)
|-
| "My mod is best for optimization" || "This mod focuses on optimizing certain aspects of the engine."
|}
Avoid opinions, commands ("you must"), and first-person pronouns ("I", "we", "my"). Just describe what exists how it works.

== Standard Article Layout ==
Most Glue3D Wiki articles should follow this structure:

<pre><nowiki>
'''Page Name''' is a [definition sentence] that does [stuff explain in a simplified matter, or the main objective of the thing you're talking about].

== Features ==
What does it do? List key capabilities.

== Usage ==
How does someone actually use it? (For mods/tools)

== History ==
When was it created? Major updates?

== See Also ==
* [[Related Page 1]]
* [[Related Page 2]]

[[Category:Modifications]]
</nowiki></pre>
Adjust sections as needed. Some pages might need <nowiki><code>Syntax</code> or <pre>With multiple lines of codes</pre></nowiki>. But always start with the bolded definition and end with categories.

{{Info|Main article: [https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Block%20Plugin Block Plugin]}}
This wiki also supports the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ScratchBlocks ScratchBlocks] extension, so you can "write" Scratch blocks instead of having to screenshot them (and possibly have a low quality image).

'''Example:'''
<scratchblocks>
define dance (speed)
set [dist v] to ((speed) * (distance to (mouse-pointer v)))
if <(distance to [mouse-pointer v]) > (10)> then
repeat until <(timer) > [10]>
move (dist) steps
next costume
play note (pick random (40) to (100)) for (0.5) beats
say [Wow! Scratch scripts on the Wiki!]
end
end
</scratchblocks>

'''Code:'''
<pre>
define dance (speed)
set [dist v] to ((speed) * (distance to (mouse-pointer v)))
if <(distance to [mouse-pointer v]) > (10)> then
repeat until <(timer) > [10]>
move (dist) steps
next costume
play note (pick random (40) to (100)) for (0.5) beats
say [Wow! Scratch scripts on the Wiki!]
end
end
</pre>

== Capitalization & Page Titles ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Type of page !! Rule !! Example
|-
| Mod names || Title Case (capitalize major words) || <nowiki>[[Glue3D Community Edition]], not [[Glue 3d commmunity edition]]</nowiki>
|-
| General concepts || lowercase, except proper nouns || ...<nowiki>[[custom blocks]]</nowiki>
|-
| Tutorials || Sentence case || <nowiki>[[How_to:Export_a_model]]</nowiki>
|}
One more rule: Page titles should be singular not plural. Use <nowiki>[[Shader]]</nowiki>, not <nowiki>[[Shaders]]</nowiki>.

== Images & Media ==
A wiki without images is boring. Here's how to add them:

=== Step 1 ΓÇô Upload: ===
Go to '''[[Special:Upload]]'''. Choose your image file (.png, .jpg or .webm recommended). Give it a descriptive name like Glue3D_model_example.png.

Step 2 ΓÇô Insert:

In the editor, type:

<code><nowiki>[[File:Glue3D_model_example.png|thumb|480x360px|right|This a custom model imported in the engine.]]</nowiki></code>

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Parameter example !! What it does
|-
| thumb || Creates a framed, resizable thumbnail
|-
| 480x360px || Sets width and height in pixels
|-
| right || Floats the image to the right of text, there's also left and center, but right
|-
| caption text || Displayed below the image
|}

Keep screenshots clear and relevant. No memes or off-topic images.

So remember, Don't Be Like Matt
