Conan Exiles Wiki:Manual of style

This Manual of style is a guide applicable to all Conan Exiles wiki articles. It reflects the wiki's standards, and is intended to help editors to produce articles with language, layout, and formatting that are consistent, clear, and precise.

Page naming
Page names should, with a few exceptions, be singular.

Please refer to this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(plurals)

Category naming
A category name should be singular if it is a topic category, and plural if it is a set category. Avoid using acronyms and abbreviations in category names.

Please refer to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Category_names and especially the section General conventions.

Capitalization
Do not use CamelCase when giving names to articles and categories. Unless the words are proper nouns or titles stylized such by the creator, only the first word should have a capitalized first letter.

Examples:
 * Lower case 'a' and 's': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_and_sorcery
 * Proper nouns, all upper case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Howard
 * Stylized title: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_the_Barbarian

Files
File names should be somewhat descriptive. Try to follow previous naming for files that are related in some way. To distinguish words use either CamelCase or underscores.

Linking
A given page should only contain one link to any other page. If a page links to Conan in one place, then that should be the only link to Conan on that page. This link should be the first instance of the term in the article.

A page should never link to itself, and headers shall not be links.

Dates
There are two ways to write a date. The shorthand one is written in the format YYYY-MM-DD (2013-09-27). This is an international standard and makes sorting easy. Longhand dates, used in article-s, are written in the format D M YYYY (example 27 September 2013).
