The BIONICLE Wiki:Manual of Style

This is how an article on Bioniclepedia should be written.

Point of View
Everything should be written in a neutral point of view, and in past tense. Don't say, "Bob is a bit of a problem". Say, "To the Toa, Bob was problematic".

Character
How an article about a character should be written.

Introduction
An extremely brief summary of the character or subject, with its name in bold. This will go above the table of contents and will not have a heading.

Infobox
Each character should have an infobox. To make one type: This contains information, such as Mask, Tools, and Alignment, about the character. It also has an image of the character.

History
The History section of a page should contain a brief but thorough summary of the character's role in the Bionicle storyline. "History" is divided into sections and subsections. The first sections should be the "stages" of the character's life, like Toa or Turaga. The first subsection should be island. The second one should be era. So history would be divided as follows:
 * Matoran
 * Metru Nui
 * Mata Nui
 * Quest for the Masks
 * Bohrok Swarm
 * Toa
 * Voya Nui
 * Island of Doom

The History section should be written in past tense. It should be written from a neutral point of view. For example:

''The Toa Inika fought the Piraka, who were a lot uglier and stupider than them, and beat them. They are currently taking a breather on Voya Nui.''

...should be written as:

''The Toa Inika battled the Piraka, and won. Their last known status was taking a respite on Voya Nui.

The History section should only include in-universe information. Sentences such as "The Toa Metru were the first Toa sets with moveable elbows" should go in another section.

Personality
Character pages should include a personality section, describing what the character was like. This should also be writen in past tense.

Powers and Tools
The character's powers (such as elemental powers, mask powers, or other special abilites) should be located here, as well as any tools the character wielded. This section should be written in past tense.

Set Information
The article should include a brief description of each set of the character which was sold, if any.

Behind the Scenes
Any information that applies to the characters, but would not fit in the History section (such as the Toa Metru's moveable elbows, or a comment that a writer made) goes in the Behind the Scenes section. Please, only include important information, not trivial bits such as "If you look closely enough, the island of Mata Nui resembles a face."

Appearances
This should include all Bionicle sources (such as comics, books, or movies) which the character appeared in.

Categories
The article should include every category applicable to the article.

Location
This is how an article about a location should be written.

Introduction
This should include a brief summary of the location.

History
This section should include a brief summary of the location's known history. It should be written in past tense, and in a neutral point of view.

Description
This section should contain a physical description of the island.

Notable Features
This section should include a list of important features in the location.

Behind the Scenes
Any information that doesn't fit in the History or Description sections.

Categories
Any categories that the location fits into.
