This style guide has the simple purpose of making the Veloren Wiki easy to read by establishing a certain format. One way is often as good as another, but if everyone does things the same way, the articles will be easier to read and use, along with being easier to write and edit. Reading the style guide is important to ensure that each user's edits will be consistent with those of other users.
Article titles
Pages must have appropriate titles. Page names should always be exactly the same as in-game name of the subject.
- Names, locations and titles should all be capitalised appropriately. Capitilisation rarely appiles to every word in the article title.
- A rule of thumb for article titles is that they should follow how they are displayed in game. If both words are capitalised then do that.
- Block capitals should not be used in titles. 'Article titles', not 'ARTICLE TITLES'.
- Words such as articles (a,an, and the) and short prepositions (e.g. in, of, from) should all be left uncapitalised, unless the first word of a title.
Sometimes technical restrictions of MediaWiki prevent editors naming pages after their in-game names.
Section and headings
Separating articles into sections makes them easy to read and navigate. Headings are used to split articles into sections.
Markup
Use two equal signs (==) style markup for headings. Start with ==, add the heading title, then end with ==.
This section's heading was created with the markup:
