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.
► The complete Mouse page starts after the line below.

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:
- 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+.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
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]]".
