When editors are contributing to this project they should follow the guidelines provided below so that articles have a consistent style and feel. | |||
== General conventions == | |||
=== Section titles === | |||
Section titles should follow sentence case ({{xt|See also}}) and not title case ({{!xt|See Also}}). Note that proper nouns should still be capitalized ({{xt|Rise of the Bluefaced Eagles in gaming}}). | |||
=== American spelling === | |||
All pages have [[wikipedia:American English|American spelling]]. | |||
=== Point of view === | |||
All pages in mainspace should be in third person ({{xt|they, he, she, their}}) and not first person ({{!xt|I, me, myself, you}}). The point of view in the <code>Project:</code> namespace may switch between either point of view but must remain consistent on the page. | |||
=== Capitalization === | |||
Capitalization should ''only'' occur if: | |||
* Punctuation demands it. | |||
* The word is a proper noun. | |||
* The word is an acronym. | |||
* A page is being spoken of from the perspective of it being a wiki page, in which case the capitalization should match that of the page name. | |||
Common incorrect uses include: | |||
*Capitalization of <code>The</code> without it being attached to a proper noun. {{!xt|in The United Kingdom}} is incorrect, {{xt|in the United Kingdom}} is correct. | |||
== Community pages == | |||
== Term pages == | |||
