Archieverse Wiki

The following is Archieverse Wiki 's manual of style, which is to be upheld when making articles on the wiki.

Articles

Articles should have the following elements:

Internal links add to the cohesion and utility of Archieverse Wiki by allowing readers to deepen their understanding of a topic by conveniently accessing other articles. These links should be included where it is most likely that readers might want to use them; for example, in article leads, the beginnings of new sections, table cells, and image captions.

Character Articles

Character template

  • The infobox should only contain canon information, i.e., information stated or seen on-screen, or confirmed off-screen.
  • Unknown information (real names, relatives, etc.) should be omitted if not confirmed in one of the ways stated above.

Article body

  • The first instance of a character's name should be in bold type.
  • Only information from The CW's Riverdale, Katy Keene and Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina should be included in the main article, with relevant Archie Comics information in the "Notes" and/or "Trivia" section.
  • Individual episodes should be referenced using the {{Ep ref}} template.

Sections

A character article should contain the following sections in order:

  • A brief summary or so, summarizing who or what the article is about. This section should come before any section headings. i.e.,
Archie Andrews is a high school sophomore, football player, and budding musician.
  • Character Description — character's official description (if provided)
  • Early Life - detailed description of the characters life prior to the start of the series.
Editor's Note: The section in which a character's episode recaps are to be written may vary. There are two distinct ways the page may be formatted depending on the characters' appearance count. If the character page in question does not have a scrollbox incorporated into it's reference section, then the aforementioned page is to be formatted as demonstrated directly below. However, if the character's appearance count is so small in number that a scroll is required, then their recap section would require tabbers.
  • Throughout the Series — well detailed recap of the characters' appearance per episode, written in past tense.
  • Physical Appearance — character's physical appearance
  • Personality — character's personality
  • Relationships — notable relationships regarding said character
  • Appearances — chronological list of the character's Riverdale episode appearances in a bulleted list. (If the list is too long, consider using the scroll box template)
  • Trivia — a section with trivia about the character.
  • See Also — a section with linked pages related to the character at hand.
  • Gallery — character's pictures throughout the series
  • References — a section where references can be found from articles or episode summaries.
    • The scroll box template is to be included within the reference section should said section become too lengthy.
