To help ensure that pages on the Wander Over Yonder Wiki have a consistent look and writing style, the following information is available.
Point of View[]
Articles should be written as if you are there watching the events take place as they happen, and should indicate some familiarity with the characters. This is called "writing in-universe". For the most part, descriptions are written in present tense, though past tense may also be used when describing a historical event shown in an episode.
In some countries, it is common to refer to people by their surname. For this Wiki, please use first names whenever possible. Full names are usually only listed on the page for the character itself.
For more information, refer to Point of view.
Manual of Style[]
The Manual of Style covers the technical aspects of how an article should be written. Topics include:
- Grammar and punctuation
- How to create links
- How to name articles
- The format for writing song lyrics
- Specifying sources
- How to note spoiler information
For more information about spoilers, refer to the Spoilers page.
For more information about naming pages, refer to the Naming convention policy page.

Episodes[]
When a new episode is created, some basic information is automatically filled in. This section will describe the purpose of that basic information and what should go there.
- Infobox: The Infobox is the section on the right side of the page that contains details about the episode itself. Who wrote it, when it premiered, etc. (Infoboxes also exist for characters and locations, and will be discussed separately.)
- Initial summary: Before the main Episode Summary is a brief initial summary of the entire episode. Initial summaries should describe what is happening in the episode.
- Episode Summary: This is the main summary of the episode and is actually a full description of what happened in the episode.
- Songs: Links to the song(s) that play in the episode.
- Gallery: The picture links to a separate Gallery page with screenshots from that episode.
- Memorable Quotes: self-explanatory.
- Background Information: Details that provide explanations about things seen in the episode.
- Trivia: Details that note certain things that happen similar to like they happened in a past episode, or other information about the episode.

- Navigation box: Navigation boxes are used to show which episodes preceded and follow the episode.
- Episodes list: At the bottom of each page is the Episodes list, which show all episodes. This is provided for quick navigation.
