Tense

OK, which tense should article be written in? Past or present? The Solar Dragon 12:48, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

First appearances

I will be posting all manual-of-style-esque questions here for now on, and I suggest other editors do the same. That way we can start taking the consensuses reached here to help build the MoS page (which I will be working on soon).

Anyway, I'm going to start making a "First appearances" section for applicable episode articles. My question is, where should this section go, the General Tab, the References/Trivia Tab or the Appearances Tab?

It would probably make the most since to put this in the Appearances Tab, but then we have to deal with the pictures. I was thinking we could have a section in either the General or References Tab and then still denote a first appearance in the Appearances Tab with parenthesis, such as "Duffman (first appearance)".TheUnderfaker 02:25, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

I would say under the appearances tab. That is all i can answer for now, going on hoilday in under half an hour. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:33, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Cleaning up MoS

I will be (gradually) fixing up the MoS. If there is any policy I post that you don't agree with, let me know here. Also, the things that I deleted from the page don't necessarily belong in an MoS, and can be found at the individual project pages. TheUnderfaker 12:54, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
