The following is a style guide on how to create a high quality comic page, and is part of our Manual of Style. Aims[edit]This style guide aims to help you write articles on all comics of The Simpsons. Canonicity[edit]Non-canon comics should have Structure of an article[edit]Main Tab[edit]Every article should be tabbed. This is done by putting Before both the infobox and the main page, be sure to add Infobox[edit]The {{comics |title= |image= |released= |pages= |series= |stories= |written by= }} Content[edit]The introductory line is a standard format, featuring the comics's series (e.g. "is a Simpsons Comics story that appears in"), the issue it aired in followed by any reprints. The article should have both a "Synopsis", a short summary, and a full "Plot". Links to other articles should be included on their first mention in the section. [edit]Somewhere near the end of the article Each comic page should have a navbox at the bottom of each tab. For a list of the templates see Wikisimpsons:Navboxes#Comics The relevant year category should be added, and you should also add something along the line of References tab[edit]Like the main page, the tab should be used here, with There are four "set pieces" on the reference tab:

Credits tab[edit]Start with {{ComicTabC}} then In general, each credit is presented as follows: '''Job role''' [[Name]] '''Job role''' [[Name]] The most important thing to gather from this is the spacing. Between the job and the name, there should be one blank line, to avoid them ending up on the same line. Between name and the next job role, there should be two blank lines to better space it out. For job roles with multiple names, only one space is needed between them. Like the standard tab, the relveant season template should be added, with an "C" on the end see Wikisimpsons:Navboxes#Comics for a list. Quotes tab[edit]Start with The following are the main conventions you should use:
