This is Brickipedia's Manual of Style. All articles should conform to the following standards:
General
- All articles should contain correct spelling, punctuation, capital letters and language structure.
- LEGO, DUPLO and QUATRO should all be spelt with capitals
- Generally, minifigure should not be abbreviated to "minifig"
- Articles should be written from a neutral point of view (that is, objective). Pointing out features of the topic of the article (eg a set) is encouraged, but using sentences such as "this set is one of the best sets in its theme because..." is not.
Set Articles
Set articles should contain:
- A set header template
- A set infobox
- At least one image of the set, where there is one available
- If a box image and an image of the set out of the box are both available, the box image should go in the infobox. If there is no box image available, the other image may be used in the infobox.
- The prices in the infobox should contain the following currencies (where the price is known in that currency):
- United States Dollar (US $)
- Euro (€)
- British Pound (£)
- Australian Dollars (AU $)
- The price should be formatted as: US $xxx.xx / €xxx.xx / £xxx.xx / AU $xxx.xx
- Main information describing the set
- A quote of the description of the set from LEGO's website, where there was/is one available
- A "Sources" section (if required)
- Categories for theme, item number and year released
- If a set has been released multiple times, and under a different number and/or name, a separate article should be created for each release
Minifigure Articles
Minifigure articles should contain:
- A minifigure infobox
- A description
- At least one image of the figure, where there is one available
- An "appearances" section
- An appropriate category for the minifigure
- A minifigure template (where applicable)
