General Writing Style

 * Sometimes it may be necessary to mention the manga or anime in an "in-universe" article. This will be allowed, but only on a case-to-case basis.
 * When writing on the Mahou Tsukai no Yome Wiki, you should be using a formal writing style. This means, for example, that you should avoid the use of any contractions, such as "he's", "didn't" "could've", etc. Use the full forms "he is", "did not", "could have" instead.
