== General notes ==
* Use colons in titles where appropriate. For example:
**''MediEvil: Resurrection'', not ''MediEvil Resurrection''
**''MediEvil: The Game Prequel'', not ''MediEvil: The Game Prequel''
*Due to the [[SCE Studio Cambridge|British roots]] of ''MediEvil'', [[wikipedia:British English|British English]] should be used on the Wiki instead of [[wikipedia:American English|American English]]. For example, please use [[Dragon Armour]] instead of Dragon Armor.
* When linking, keep unnecessary words such as 'the' and 'a' out of the link itself, unless they are a part of the name.
* If you see any variant of "It should be noted..." or "It is notable that..." or "Of note...", remove it. It is unnecessary.
* If you see any variant of "It is interesting that..." or "Interestingly, ...", remove it. Saying that something is interesting is technically an opinion.

*For example, "Zarok's initial attacks are him chasing Dan around, spitting acid at him and swiping at him. I used the Magic Sword to defeat him." Personal techniques for boss fighting and experiences in the game are best avoided at all times, as this is where it tends to be easiest to slip into first person.
