Follow the tips in this Style Manual to help keep the Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki consistent and easy to read. In addition, Wikipedia's Manual of Style is a great resource for fundamental editing tips and rules. The style guide may be used to adjudicate disagreements between users over editing style.

Basics

While we generally try to follow Wikipedia's manual of style, below is a list of some specific policies we value:

• WP:PRONOUN - Articles should not be written from a first- or second-person perspective.

Game Name

The official name of the game is "Hypixel SkyBlock" with the "B" capitalized, and as such the wiki uses this spelling.

Assets

Poll of player's Minecraft version

Assets should be from the 1.8 version of Minecraft as this is the lowest version Hypixel supports and is the closest playable version to that the server runs on. It's also the most commonly used Minecraft version for the Hypixel SkyBlock player according to the poll created on December 12, 2019.

Images

Guidelines for images/screencaps and render resources:

Formatting

Various choices below are chosen due to Hypixel being a Canadian company. For more specifics, see Standard Page Formatting.

• Dates: use Canadian / American formatting (MM.DD.YYYY - ex: January 1st, 1972)
• Decimal separator - This wiki again uses Canadian / American formatting (so the number "ten-thousand and 5 and one-tenth" would be written as "10,005.1"
• Canadian / American spelling should be used (ex: defense, not defence)

Page Layout

Follow those layouts to prevent pages from it from varying from page to page:

• Minion Pages
