There is no current (September 2021) consensus on capitalization of specific game terms.  For example, when discussing a belle's main battery, should it be written "Battery I" or "battery I?"  Should nouns like "vestures" be capitalized?

==Data/Information Box==
=== Data vs. Information Box ===
The Infobox is a stock class on Fandom, and is restricted to loading on the right.  The Belle information box is the only (September 2021) current example.
DataBox was created for this wiki to allow a similar information structure without the content being forced into the right column.  ''99% of the time, new data-holding templates should be derived from [[Template:DataBox]], not Infobox.''  DataBox enforces a two-column layout with optional column headers and an optional title overall.
=== General ===
When a value for a named line in an existing data/information box is not included, it will be automatically populate with ''Unknown.''
Text for an empty box should follow these guidelines.
* The default "Unknown" if the line can be filled in the future, but the information that would populate it is not currently available.  For example, a belle whose voice actress has not been credited publicly at time of page creation would be listed as ''Unknown.''
*"None" if the line can be filled, but isn't.  For example, a belle whose stock main battery contains an open but empty RDF slot should list RDF as "None."
*"N/A" if the line applies to ''other'' uses of the infobox (as part of the template), but the line is not valid for the infobox in question.  For example, a belle whose stock main battery configuration has a locked RDF slot would list this as "N/A."

==Information Box==
=== General ===
When a value for a named line in an information box (also known as an "infobox" in Fandom/Wikia speak) is intentionally left blank, the following fillers are suggested:
* "None" if the line can be filled, but isn't.  For example, a belle whose default Battery I contains no RDF would simply list RDF as "None."
* "Unknown" if the line can be filled in the future, but the information that would populate it is not currently available.  For example, a belle whose voice actress has not been credited publicly at time of page creation.
*"N/A" if the line applies to ''other'' uses of the infobox (as part of the template), but the line is not valid for the infobox in question.  For example, an Infobox for Vehicle that lists "Wheels" in every instance regardless of vehicle type would have "Wheels: N/A" in an infobox pertaining to boats.
=== Templates ===
If an infobox does not yet exist for a set of information that is best contained in a two-column, many-row table, use the [[Template:Belle|belle template]] and its [[Template:Belle/doc|documentation]] as examples to create a new infobox.  It is highly recommended to do so in "source" (pure text editing) mode rather than any graphical interfaces offered by MediaWiki.
