Structure[edit]

Parentage[edit]

This project is a daughter project of WikiProject Novels

Goals[edit]

To detail the novels and fictional world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld
To ensure the detail is structured as well as possible

Stylistic conventions[edit]

There are a growing number of stylistic conventions that WikiProject Discworld seeks to enforce; some are derived from the Manual of Style, others are of our own making. If you see an error in a Discworld article, fix it now!!

When talking about the books use italics: ''[[Discworld]]'' → Discworld
When talking about the Discworld world itself, use regular font and link to the correct article: the [[Discworld (world)|Discworld]] → Discworld
All articles should link to both of the above articles where sensible, but avoid overlinking!
All book titles should be italicised and linked on their first appearance.

Templates[edit]

WikiProject Discworld maintains the following templates which should be added as appropriate to articles within our scope.

Infoboxes[edit]

These should be used at the top of the relevant articles.

{{Infobox book}} to be placed on all novel articles Has been placed on all novel articles.

{{Infobox short story}} to be placed on all short story articles

{{Infobox character}} to be placed on all character articles

Navbars[edit]

These navbars should be placed at the bottom of the articles. All the articles listed on a template should have that template on them.

{{Discworld books}} to be placed on all novel articles

Other[edit]
