| == Relevancy ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| Here on '''Assassin's Wiki''' we have a guideline that says: ''"Everything is relevant, except the irrelevant"''. It means that although information is knowledge and therefore worthy of attention, some things are just plain ''useless'' and'' uncalled for''.
| |
| ==='''Examples:'''===
| |
| | |
| '''Article''': [[Guards]]
| |
| | |
| '''Relevant Example''':
| |
| <pre>Venetian Guards are more better outfitted and equipped than those of the Florentine ones.</pre>
| |
| | |
| This is relevant to the 'Guards' article because it is interesting, note-worthy and your average reader probably wouldn't have known this on his/her first playthrough of the game.
| |
| | |
| '''Irrelevant Example (Stage I)''':
| |
| <pre>Guards can fight Ezio.</pre>
| |
| This is irrelevant because everyone who has played the game, watched the game or even ''heard'' about this game would know that guards have the ability to fight Ezio, the main protagonist and player.
| |
| | |
| However, there is one more stage of irrelevancy that should be '''removed''' on sight, this is the act of writing about a '''totally different''' article on another page. Here's an example;
| |
| | |
| '''Article''': [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] - Trivia Section
| |
| | |
| '''Relevant Trivia''':
| |
| <pre> Ezio was most likely the only son of Giovanni to know that his family were of an Assassin culture. </pre>
| |
| '''Irrelevant Trivia (Stage II)''':
| |
| <pre> Militia Guards always stick with Seekers or Brutes. </pre>
| |
| | |
| == Repetition ==
| |
| | |
| "''But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.''"
| |
| | |
| Repetition is the act of writing what is said on an article again, but in a different manner or location.
| |
| This isn't as important as relevancy, but conjures the same consequences, your writing gets removed and you anger the wiki users.
| |
| Here's an example of the most typical and common repetition on this wiki.
| |
| ===Example:===
| |
| | |
| '''Article''': [[Desmond Miles]]
| |
| | |
| Taken from the article;
| |
| | |
| <pre>Desmond is a descendant of Aquilus, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Connor Kenway.</pre>
| |
| | |
| '''Trivia:'''
| |
| <pre>Desmond is a descendant of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| This is repetition, as you have noticed on the first paragraph of that article, it is written already that Desmond is a descendant of Altaïr, so why state it as a 'fun-fact' in Trivia?
| |
| | |
| It is utterly useless.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Abide by these guidelines, and you too, novice, will soon climb the ranks of the '''Assassins'''!
