Editing Style Guide

The Editing Style Guide outlines a standard of clean and consistent formatting for all articles on the Kim Kardashian Hollywood Wiki. When editing on the Wiki, keep the following guidelines in mind.

Section I: General Style Guidelines

 * English is the official language of this Wiki. This wiki adheres to the spelling and grammar of Standard American English (e.g.  "color"  and  "favorite" ).  Other languages are currently not supported.
 * Capitalization. Title case ( "Kim Kardashian" ) should be used when referring to characters, goals, locations, businesses and buildings. Sentence case may be used only when it is used in the game (e.g. "The Smell of Success" ).
 * Follow the Wiki coding and formatting guidelines. If you have never edited on a Wikia before, learn more about coding and formatting here.
 * Canon information. Share only official canon information on the Wiki.

II.1: Basics

 * Duplicate pages. Before creating a new page on the Wiki, ensure the page does not already exists. Duplicate pages will be removed by an administrator.
 * Templates. Templates are used to order important information on an article page. Use the appropriate template for each article and fill it out following the instructions on the template page.
 * Do not remove templates from existing pages.
 * Categories. Categories are used to sort articles by their main topic. The current categories used on the Wikia are believed to be sufficient for the content of the game. If you'd like to suggest an additional category, please contact an administrator.
 * Do not add more categories to an article than necessary.

II.2: Buildings
Example page: Love And Hope Adoption Center


 * Each building should be added to the appropriate category. There are four four types of buildings:
 * Social Buildings: buildings where you can go on dates;
 * Work Buildings: buildings where you can complete projects and goals;
 * Businesses: buildings you can own and make money from;
 * Miscellaneous Buildings: buildings that don't fall into any of the other categories.
 * A building may fall into two categories. In that case, fill in its primary category. For example, Panino is both a Social Building and a Work Building, but because it's a restaurant, it's primarily a Social Building.
 * Each building page should be made up of four (4) elements:
 * A description of the building.
 * The Building template, which should be filled in according to the instructions on the template page.
 * A section on Goals, which contains links to all the goals that take place in that building. Goals must be listed in alphabetical order.
 * A section on Exterior, which contains a picture of the outside of the building. The picture should measure approximately 665 by 675 pixels with a 1px solid black border (example).
 * If any of these elements are missing, please insert the "Maintenance" template at the top of the page by copying and pasting the following code:
