Star Chart: Manual of Style

Star Chart aims to be an active wiki that showcases the many wonderful alien species, individuals, entities and technologies found in science-fiction as well as a place for imaginative writers to create their own aliens and list them.

In order to perform this task Star Chart must adapt a Manual of Style and new editors must stick to this Style when creating new articles - at first it may seem a little overbearing but in the long run keeping to this Style helps give the wiki a uniformed look and makes it a more appealing place for everyone.

Canon Works
When writing an article about a Canon Species you should first remember to title it properly (Name of Species (Franchise) ) - after this follow the following layout for your page - this is the same layout you use for Individuals and Entities (simply remove the Notable Members section)

(brief introduction)

History
(a hostory of the species (for extremely long-running media keep it short-but-sweet to avoid overloading viewers not familiar with the series, keep spoiler to a bare minimum) )

Physical Description
(a description of how the species tends to be portrayed)

Traits
(any superhuman / unearthly powers or enhanced traits the race has as a whole)

Technology
(list of any notable technology the race uses (if any) - link to the page in the Star Chart)

Notable Members
(list of any major character in media belonging to this species - link to their page in the Star Chart)

Fan-Created
For Fan-Created content follow the same layout as above, however when naming your article be sure to include "Fan-Created" in the title - this is essential and can not be debated over, as this is what separates Fan-Created articles from Canon Work.

For example (My Alien (My Universe (Fan-Created) )
