Warhammer 40k:Manual of Style

Objectives
We all want to make our posts and our Wiki a comprehensive and scholarly source of information. This is a guide to providing this information in a coherent and structured manner.

Structure
A solid and consistent structure aids in providing users a good experience and saves time in development. It is better to use headers than presentational markup. The reason for this is the wiki will automatically create a table of contents including each header label used.

Templates
There are a large selection of templates for page development. They make articles more uniform in structure and are not difficult to use.

Images
Learn how to format images to fit into your page layout. A thumbnail is better than a full-sized image in an article. You can control the width, positioning and the wiki will format the image and provide the markup for enlarging the image.

Reference
Adding citations to your pages adds credibility and scholarship to your articles.

Spell Checking
This is a sticky point to some. Americans and the British are two great nations separated by a common language. The native spell checker on this wiki is American English. When in doubt I refer to it. It is better to spell check using it than not spell checking at all. Too many times people never look for errors before posting an article

Categorization
Always categorize your new article. It saves time when we have to go through page by page to add categories later.
