Manual of Style: Standardization Project

I think it moving it back to Leitmotifs is fine. I didn’t list “Leitmotif” in the changes because I thought renaming for articles like that is for a separate discussion.

Yesterday I was thinking that the MoS might need slight adjustments anyways, since there’s been some confusion on casing as well…

22

Today, I lowercased the capitalization of “library” on a bunch of articles, and also lowercased headings like “Main story”
Both of these are pretty overwhelming in number of pages to work on, so I didn’t do all the pages for either of them yet, there’s still instances remaining
By the way, add Leitmotifs to the list of Undertale articles that need to be singular
Also, on the subject of badges, I think there are a couple badges, like the pie badge, that I haven’t gotten yet, so maybe do that too if you’re giving me this badge and you’re willing

23

The page does explain that, but only for the first two paragraphs that everyone scrolls by. No one goes to the Leitmotifs page to read it top to bottom, they're looking for a specific leitmotif.

Even if there was a more detailed intro about what leitmotifs are and why they're important (which I do think would be a good thing to have), the primary purpose of the article would still be listing the leitmotifs.

24

I tested it and the limit is 32,000.
An error occurred: Body is limited to 32000 characters; you entered 131072.
The first post is currently at about 14.1k characters by my count of the raw text, so it's not impossible to link every edit. It would mean that the post will definitely have to be split into the placeholders at some point, though, and adding the links would be a lot of work for not much gain.

25

I’ve sentence-cased the subheaders of all the Deltarune items pages that had not been treated yet (most armor, weapons, consumables, LW items, and others), so the progress list can be updated!

26

Status update: Sentence case headings for Cyber World, TV World, and Dark Sanctuaries characters are now done! (Mostly by other people; I just fixed a few ones that they missed and made this post compiling the edits.)

Thanks Link for spearheading this effort, and I assigned the badges to participating users who replied to this thread now! Is there a status update on what’s left to do, or are all these changes applied now?

28

(I got the Ralral badge yay!)

29

You're welcome! Thanks for giving the badge to everyone who helped and replied on here. There's others that I've documented earlier in the first page that deserve the badge as well, it'd be great if you give them the badge too.

Otval12345 - helped with many, including moving articles to be sentence cased, such as Dreemurr residence, formatting fixes such as sentence casing and oxford comma for the initial round.

F-sharp - helped with moving articles to be sentence cased and standardized to singular.

MMK-001 - helped with sentence casing headers!

Kris - had done formatting fixes, such as sentence casing and singular, on the Moss article.

I'm incredibly grateful to everyone that has helped with multiple articles and standardization too, thank you so much!

Also, a big thanks to Cod10129 for both helping with documenting the initial round plus dabbling into the formatting limit here, and HylianAngel for helping with overall consistency! After she prepped the bot, a lot of changes rolled out. After Volnar’s comment, I got concerned about others, but I’m really glad HylianAngel prepped the bot to help with standardization!

Also: I’m thinking in case of concern, maybe we can have a badge for community accepted suggestions/discussions to also go with this project? I think the input from others would be helpful!

Since quite a lot happened since my last first post update, I’ve still got a lot of catching up to do! But we’ve got some other standardization topics that needs some input right now:

Some other standardizations also occurred:

Japanese names for both wikis, which WitheredFreddy1997 had implemented across UTW, like Grillby’s.

31

Hi, I think me and F-Sharp should also gain these badges regarding the standardization formatting updates given both of us have contributed with fixing some stuff as well. It’s great that many users have also helped out with this project too!

32

Can confirm, Freddy helped with sentence casing subheaders as part of our standardization! I’ve already mentioned at least one thing F-sharp has helped with standardization wise too.

33

Yeah I've been doing a bit of restandardization here and there. I've mostly been doing other things though.

34

Granted all the badges now. MMK didn’t open a Discussions account yet, but I can grant when they do.

35

I contributed on the RECRUIT page

36

I don’t see your username in the edit history?

37

atleast tried to •_•

38

I made one now, may I have my badge please. Also unrelated, but since this my first time using community, is there like a community guideline somewhere I can read, so I can get the basics down.

39

Thank you
