[[wikipedia:prose]] is the form language people are most familiar with when communicating. Unlike poetry, bulleted or numbered lists, tables, and other forms of displaying information, prose requires full sentences, placed into paragraphs. | |||
Sometimes, a section in a wiki is currently in something other than prose, but an editor thinks it would be better in a prose form. | |||
For example, take the following bulleted list, | |||
* Fox McCloud is James McCloud's Son | |||
* He leads Star Fox | |||
* He is friends with Falco Lombardi | |||
and make a paragraph out of it, | |||
Fox McCloud is James McCloud's Son. He leads Star Fox and is friends with Falco Lombardi. | |||
Just the same, there will be times to where things that are in prose would be better in something else. | |||
Here are the typical situations: | |||
* {{tl|prose}} - to mark it should be in prose | |||
* {{tl|timeline-to-prose}} - to mark a timeline | |||
* {{tl|poetry-to-prose}} - to mark poetry | |||
* {{tl|table-to-prose}} - to mark a table | |||
* {{tl|list-to-prose}} - to mark a list | |||
* {{tl|unprose}} - to mark it should be out of prose | |||
* {{tl|prose-to-timeline}} - to mark that is should be a timeline | |||
* {{tl|prose-to-poetry}} - to mark that is should be poetry | |||
* {{tl|prose-to-table}} - to mark that is should be a table | |||
* {{tl|prose-to-list}} - to mark that is should be a list | |||
