GuildWiki:Style and formatting/Quotes

This article provides guidelines on quoting in-game dialogs, descriptions, etc.

Syntax
Where quotes are taken from in-game in order to document a skill, quest, mission, etc, the quote should be copied verbatim into GuildWiki. This includes any incorrect or unusual spelling, phrasing, punctuation, etc. The goal of the wiki is to document the game as experienced. When typos or errors are copied from the game, the user should indicate this by inserting the template [sic].

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". Its use indicates that the preceding text was copied exactly as written, including any errors that may have existed in the original source text.

Example of use
The following statement by a Canthan Peasant is an example of the proper use of the [sic] tag. "The Ministry of fire never seems incapable [sic] of understanding the plight of the common people." Would produce the following within its article:


 * "The Ministry of fire never seems incapable [sic] of understanding the plight of the common people."
