UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

We here at the Mixels Wiki aim to have a comprehensive database of consistent and informative articles. New users will be referred to this page upon joining the wiki.

The purpose of the manual of style is to set guidelines for how this wiki's articles are stylized to keep consistency across all articles. Since the manual of style serves as a guide for users to follow, it is a house style the wiki wants users to apply for the sake of quality and not as a rule to follow. This means two things: the users that have edits including elements disregarded in the manual of style will not be in trouble (unless it was to purposefully disrupt) and the user can "break the rules" if they feel their edits can improve something, in which case, it is still recommended to contact a member of staff for their opinion.

For general rules regarding the wiki, refer to our policies.

General

 * All articles should contain proper punctuation, spelling, capital letters and language structure.
 * Articles should use American English for their spelling. Differences between British and American spelling can be seen here.
 * Mixel names, mixed-up foods, Cubits, Mix/Max/Murp mentions and location names should begin with capital letters.
 * Articles should be written from a neutral point of view (that is, objective). Pointing out features of the topic of the article (example being a Mixel) is encouraged, but using sentences such as "this Mixel is one of the best Mixels because..." is not.
 * A subject should be linked once upon its first appearance in the article's infobox, once upon its first mention in the article's lead section, and once upon its first mention in the article's main body.
