Forum:Manual of Style Update

Hello all. As I've pointed out in a recent conflict, the Manual of Style is outdated. In regard to this I think it needs to be updated at appropriate sections and if there's any formatting questions we should decide them as a community now that we know we can make awesome looking polls.

The main purpose for this is, the wiki has grown considerably, the size of wiki staff has grown as well. Because of that the number of edits that happens every day is sky high and it's hard to police all the edits every day. So in attempt to prevent further conflicts of opinion and to perhaps explain to new editors why certain articles have information listed in a certain way, I feel that we need to update the existing MoS and list the appropriate formatting guidelines.

Now, I will start with bringing your attention to the following pages, since I believe they need the most work.

Champion Template - KazMx is working on this. (I think)

Item Template - UberTri125 should work on this section.

Minion Template - Zelgadis87 should work on this page.

The format of the template is up to you, as long as it is communicative and gets the point across to a user reading it. As an example, you could follow the format that is shown on the existing item and minion template (Kaz made that one a while back, I think it looks nice and can be modified to serve better purposes). You could also do something similar to my patch notes guidelines in bulleted style that can be found as a section of the current MoS. You can invent something new on your own.

Again I would like to say that I wish this to be a community project, and issues with formatting opinions to be resolved properly through common consensus.

Thanks all and I hope this will be a good experience for all of us. I would like to encourage all preliminary discussion here, and to create new forum threads if it needs to branch out.
