Title of Works | The titles of works must be italicized if they are stand-alone works. This includes books, legal cases, movies, magazines, newspapers, albums, and plays.
If the title of the work is part of another collection of works, enclose it in quotation marks. Examples of this include articles from a news source, short stories from a book, and songs in an album. Note that a song can be a stand-alone work if it's a single. |
Capitalization | The JoJo Wiki has several words that should be capitalized in title case when used in articles. These include:
There are also specific words that pertain to the series that must be capitalized. These include:
Names and titles on the wiki are primarily in title case, like "Golden Wind" or "Josuke Higashikata." Recognized stylizations across Japanese media, such as "The JOJOLands" and "DIO," are kept as exceptions. A non-title case format requires evidence from at least three different published sources, not including logos as they are typically capitalized. However, in cases of contradiction among Japanese sources, where both the title case and stylization are used in multiple sources, the title case is the default (e.g. "Steel Ball Run" and "STEEL BALL RUN" are both used in various sources). This policy ensures consistency while respecting the unique stylizations of the series. |
Perspective | In-Universe: The synopsis/history section of all articles should be written as if they are set in the JoJo Universe. Phrases such as "In XX episode" or "In Part XX" should generally be avoided. |

Verb Tenses | By default, articles are written in present tense - these include characters who died before and during the continuity. History sections should also be in present tense as events are described along with the story.
If an event is described to have happened in the past or is shown in a flashback before the present continuity, such as a character's background before the story begins, then the section must be written in past tense. |
