Well, by combining material from Wookiepedia, the Doctor Who WikiProject at Wikipedia, Memory Alpha, and some ideas suggested on this wiki, I've worked out the makings of a Manual of Style. As stated in the introduction, if you think something needs to be addressed, please post your suggestions on the Manual's discussion page or here, rather than making your own changes to the manual. Thanks! --Freethinker1of1 22:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Well done on doing this. Clearly a lot of work has gone in to this and I think it's excellent. Just what we needed. Just two things occur to me immediately. Firstly, maybe the 'In-Uninverse'/'Out of Universe' explanations should be right at the top preceded by a clear statement that the majority of articles on this wiki should be written from an in-universe perspective. Secondly, if we're following the Memory Alpha style of crediting sources in articles at the end of each paragraph, then a seperate Sources section for each article is probably unecessary.

Now we've got these guidlines perhaps we should look at trying to attract more people to come here and contribute. We need a little advertising and promotion. Any ideas?
