Labyrinth Wiki Format

The Labyrinth Wiki Format Page will set out the guidelines for the standardized format expected to be used in all articles. It is important these guidelines are followed, as doing so will make the wiki consistent and easy to read.

What sort of articles are accepted?

Articles are welcome on any topic that is directly related to the film Labyrinth. This includes the film's characters and settings, as well as any material produced to accompany the film in the real world such as the soundtrack album and any other associated merchandise. Articles are also welcome on any individuals directly involved with the making of the film, and these are to be found in the Cast and Crew category.

Articles are also welcome on the manga sequel to the film, Return to Labyrinth, and contributors are invited to create pages pertaining to its characters and settings.

Articles that are not to be included in the wiki include pages on any other Henson projects, such as The Dark Crystal. This wiki will solely deal with Labyrinth, and while references to other projects are welcome if justified pages dedicated to them are not to be created under any circumstances. Pages on characters that only exist within the Labyrinth fandom should also be avoided (please see the section below on fandom).

How should a particular article be laid out?

Character Pages

The layout of pages that cover a particular character associated with Labyrinth will vary depending on the character. A character who only appears in a particular source (such as the film or Return to Labyrinth) - for example, Cob from Return to Labyrinth - and plays a minor role should have a basic page. A basic page is usually compromised of -

• An image to the top right of the page showing the character.

• Several brief sentences stating who the character is and their role in the series at the top of the page.

• A section (if applicable) on the character's background to be titled Events Prior to the [Manga/Film]

• A section on the role they play in the narrative to be titled Role in the [Manga/Film].

For characters who appear in more than one piece of media or play a larger role, a complex page is required. For a major character such as Sarah, a page can involve many headings and subsections. A complex page can involve-

• An image to the top right of the page showing the character.

• Several brief sentences stating who the character is and where they appear at the top of the page.

• An Overview of the character that provides a broad picture of everything that is known about them from the sources available. An overview brings together the information featured elsewhere on a character's page in a condensed form, providing the reader with a concise introduction to the character in question.

• A Role in the [Manga/Film] section that details the role the character in question plays in the narrative where they are introduced. If a character appears in both the film and the Return to Labyrinth series, this first section should always focus on the role the character plays in the film.
• A Appearances in Other Media section, to include sections on the role the character plays in the novelization of the film, the marvel comic book adaptation, the David Bowie music videos for As The World Falls Down and Underground and the Return to Labyrinth series. Each piece of other media where the character appears should be formatted as a sub-heading, and references to these pieces of other media should only be included if the character plays a role in them.
• A Personality section detailing the characters traits and characteristics.
• An Appearance section, that can also have a sub-heading looking at the characters' costumes.
