== General Rules == | |||
Transcriptions should match the in-game caption as closely as possible. Changes can be made to correct grammar, unusual punctuation or to make the tone of the line more clear. Italics are allowed for emphasis. Do not use brackets, links or boldened text in transcriptions. | Transcriptions should match the in-game caption as closely as possible.

== Audio Description == | |||
Audio descriptions, such as sighing, laughing or other noises that cannot be written, are marked with square brackets. The descriptor should be in italics to more clearly differentiate from normal text. If transcribing the sound is more readable than describing it, then it should be transcribed. | Audio descriptions, such as sighing, laughing or other noises that cannot be written, are marked with square brackets.

== Other Languages == | |||
There are characters who frequently speak languages other than English. A sentence at the top of the quote page should disclose the second spoken language. For example, this is how it is done on [[Ivy/Quotes|Ivy's quote page]]: "Some of Ivy's lines are spoken in Spanish, or a mix of Spanish and English. They will have translation in italics." | There are characters who frequently speak languages other than English. A sentence at the top of the quote page should disclose the second spoken language.
