Angel Beats Wiki:Style manual

WIP - 22:39, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Page name
As this wiki is written in English, the format of the name should be the western way, being Forename FamilyName.

Infobox
The banner at the very top of the infobox should be the same format as the page name, Forename FamilyName.

Name
The 'name' section of the infobox should be in the Japanese format (FamilyName Forename), with the kanji being first and romanised text following.

Age or birthday
Any input on a character's age or birthday is required to have a source to the information. Valid sources are any published, or copyright held by Key (or it's staff), or VisualArts. Such valid examples would be manga, light novels, books (art, information), interviews with named individuals, visual novels, etc.

Deceased
Usually, the purpose of the status being  is when a character dies, and no longer appears again unless in a flashback or memory. However the whole premise of Angel Beats is that everyone is dead from the very begining, with only living people appearing in flashbacks. Therefore, having the status being 'deceased' is a moot point and not needed to be placed.

However, if a character has died, but not in the afterlife world, they should be given this status. (see Hatsune).

Alive
We see flashbacks from when people were alive however there is no way to track how long ago that flashback was, and impossible to know if the person is still alive by this point. However, the alive status should be used when a character is:
 * not in the Angel Beats world (see Igarashi),
 * not confirmed dead via other means (see Hatsune).

Reincarnated, moved on
While the purpose is for everyone to leave the world, does that mean once they leave they are 'dead dead' or 'moved/passed on'? By the end of the anime, all of the characters are in this status.
