Marvel Avengers Alliance Wiki:Manual of Style/Dialogue Pages

Proper Layout
Proper layout is as follows:

Each individual mission gets its own level 2 heading (two ='s), with Mission # as the heading name, ie. Mission 1, Mission 2.
 * Mission Start (level 3) will follow directly after each Mission #.
 * Deploys (Lv 3), with Deploy # ie. Deploy 1, Deploy 2
 * Screen Text and Start / Complete for deploy dialogue will have lv 4 header.
 * Heroic Battle (Lv 3)
 * Minibosses (Lv 3), with MiniBoss - MINIBOSS NAME
 * Reveal, Start, Repeat and Complete for minibosses will have lv 4 header.
 * Bosses (Lv 3), with Boss - BOSS NAME
 * Reveal, Start, Repeat and Complete for bosses will have lv 4 header.
 * Epic Bosses (Lv 3), with Epic Boss - EPIC BOSS NAME
 * Reveal, Start, Repeat and Complete for epic bosses will have lv 4 header.
 * Mission Complete

Special Needs Not Addressed
We have tried to cover all needs in this document but from time to time things may change. Please contact any one of the administrators by a message on the wall. The administrators that have done the most work on the dialogue pages are Docbobm, Lycentia, and Scarlettolivia. Leaving a message on one of their walls will get the quickest response.

Changes to Actual Dialogue
The dialogue has been verified and should not be changed unless there is a change in the game dialogue itself. Any misspellings, punctuation changes or things of that nature should not be done. If you feel there is a serious need for a change an administrator should be contacted.

Changes to dialogue that can not be supported will be met with disciplinary actions.

Hero/Villain Dialogue Pages
A basic cut and paste should be done for the individual dialogue pages. There should be no major changes need to the set.

Only put on these dialogue that the character actually says and responses. If A is talking to B but B does not respond, then A gets dialogue on his page but not B. If they both speak they both get it.

Non-playable-characters(NPC) do not get their own page. Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Tony Stark (not Iron Man), Agent Coulson and Professor X are considered NPC. Essentially for the first three we would just be recreating the original dialogue pages.

Layout will be:
 * 1) HeroTopicNAV template
 * 2) Recruit Message template
 * 3) Wiki TOC template
 * 4) Dialogues
