Text Structure

Orthography

When writing articles, the orthography that is expected to be used is British English. This is because Cheedaman, the creator of BEAR, is from the United Kingdom. The only exception to this rule are names (ex: BEAR Tower Defense).

Correct Incorrect
1903 is a grey. 1903 is a gray.
Sculpted Bear was cancelled. Sculpted Bear was canceled.
BEAR Tower Defense is a game. BEAR Tower Defence is a game.

Bold

  • Addressing an article's title, for the first time. (If the article is about a game, then the title should be italic as well.)
  • Addressing the date when an event, skin, kill effect, gear, etc. released, concluded, went unobtainable, was removed, etc.
  • Addressing the price and currency of a skin, kill effect, and gear.
  • Adding a link.

Italics

  • Addressing an article's title, after the first time.
  • When text is being quoted "Example", or is in parenthesis (Example).
  • Addressing a game from BEAR, or another franchise.

Links

Each article should include one link to each article of the wiki. Articles may have the same link appear in infoboxes, etc. However, the link should only appear once within them as well.

Categories

Categories should only be used in articles and not in user articles.

References and Citations

If a statement can not be proven by playing the game either in its current version or during a previous version, a reference must be provided. If said information sounds plausible, add the Citation Needed template. Before adding the template, it is recommended to try to find a source first.

Do not add the Citation Needed template when:

  1. The statement is obvious nonsense/trolling/vandalism. Delete it instead.
  2. The statement is dubious/controversial/harmful claims of living people. Delete it instead.
  3. The statement is reasonable but still very doubtful, search for a source or delete it instead. If deleted, provide an adequate summary (ex: "Very doubtful, please do not revert without giving a citation").

Keep in mind that a citation might be required even if a statement can be proven by playing the game. If you consider this to be the case, ask a staff member if a citation should be provided or not.

Third-Person Perspective

Articles should always be written in the third-person, using either player or a playable character (depending on the context). Never use the second-person as it will be referring to the reader of this wiki.

Correct Incorrect

Articles

  • Custom display titles are not tolerated.

    • For characters and skins that do have a confirmed gender, when the gender is first mentioned in the article, accompany it with a reference citation of the creator revealing the gender of the character or skin.

Headers

Headers should always be written in title case. Sentence case and proper case will not be tolerated.

Sub-Pages

If a gallery and audio section have over 25 files, then they will be become a sub-page.

Trivia

Trivia sections in articles should only include the following facts, otherwise the fact will be removed:

  • Easter eggs.
  • Confirmed inspirations and references to other media.
  • Bugs, glitches, and errors.

Additionally, facts must be accompanied by a reference citation. If no citation is added, the fact will be removed.
