MHWiki:Manual of Style

The Manual of Style contains the general formatting for the different categories of pages in use at the moment, and lists down the basic structure of an article in that category.

Mice

The Mouse pages are laid out in the following manner. This can also be used as the basic structure in creating a new Mouse page. Note that the sections should be laid out in the order in which they are shown below, which is in the order of importance that most players will consider the information.

Manual of Style Mouse Group: Mouse Statistics Points: Gold: Location & Attraction Info Required Power Types: Other Requirements: Cheese: Charm: Locations: Loot: Links Larry's Loot Lexicon: MouseHunt Info Page Image: Mouse ID#: Player descriptions of the mouse. Does not have it's own section header since it is the first set of text on the page. Differs from the in-game description. Normally contains the following: How commonly it is encountered in a location. For example, Vampire Mice are rarely encountered in the Mousoleum, but can be more commonly found in the Catacombs when using Ancient cheese. Where loot can be found, and if specified by the developers, how frequently it is found. For example, Black Widows are known to always drop SUPER|brie+., or Vampire Mice are known to uncommonly drop Greater Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potions in the Mousoleum. If the Mouse does not drop any loot, it should contain a simple 1 liner such as: Grey Mice are not known to drop any loot. Preferred Cheese This section should always be included, clearly stating if a mouse has any preferences. A sample writeup would be, While the Student of the Cheese Claw can be attracted by standard cheese, it has an distinct preference for SUPER|brie+ and Maki. Thus clearly explaining that while there is a bait preference, standard cheese can be used. This is information that is not covered by the infobox. Hunting Strategy This section is optional, since not all mice need a strategy. An example would be, In order to catch a Burglar Mouse with Plankrun's Pages, they should hunt in the Bazaar with their strongest trap using Brie cheese, disregarding the Power Type since it is a Physical Type mouse. This section is differs from the preferred cheese section, and should be considered for inclusion if there is a bait preference. History & Trivia This section is optional, since not all mice have any associated history or trivia. This is consolidated into one section since they typically mean the same thing in MouseHunt. Some examples of trivia would be something like, The Burglar Mouse was -really- named after a particularly nasty forum scammer. Another example, The Birthday Mouse was introduced to commemorate MouseHunt's first anniversary on 7 March 2009. These 2 are both part of MouseHunt, and the Mice's history, as well as trivia about it. Images This section is optional. If a mice has more than 1 image, such as the Dwarf, this section should be included, along with the list of the different images the mouse has taken over time. Categorization Lastly comes proper categorization. This does not have a section on its own. The infobox automatically includes the Gameplay and Mice categories. However, the mice should also be further categorized into their respective sub-categories, such as [[Category:Gnawnia Mice]] for Grey Mice. The only text that needs to be added is "[[Category:Gnawnia Mice]]".
