Welcome to the Blaseball Wiki Style Guide! If you are interested in contributing to this wiki, this is the place to start. Here, we cover the overall basics of creating a new page, our desired voice and style for Blaseball entries, and technical details related to style and working within the Fandom editor.


Mission Statement

Blaseball is the splort that always was and always will be. It is vast and unknowable, and the glimpses we catch are equal parts fascinating and horrifying. As we uncover new bits of Blaseball history, we seek to record those details as accurately and respectfully as possible. It is important that we try our best not to editorialize the unknowable history, but to represent it with honesty and clarity. Entries on this wiki should be written from an impartial perspective, simply recording the facts of events, encounters, locations, players, history, and more. The terrifying nature of Blaseball must be honored, and we do that best by treating all angles with careful consideration and respect.

Voice

The voice we should aim for is the dry, factual style you see on most online wikis, notably Wikipedia.
