BattleMaster Wiki:Style Guide

This article is a stub or placeholder. The BattleMaster Wiki is a collaborative effort, and you can help expand it by adding to this article.

Basics

• Follow the Page Name Guidelines
• Use Wiki syntax wherever possible, only use HTML if necessary.
• Use Templates whenever the same text should appear on two or more pages.
• Most pages should be in at least one category, define categories always at the bottom of a page
• Do not link to your personal pages from offical manual pages! The families page does not need links to every family in battlemaster.

Page Name Guidelines

• Avoid articles (a, an, the) in page names
• Avoid plurals. Use "Family" instead of "Families" and "Realm" instead of "Realms". Exceptions: If Battlemaster never uses the singular, use the plural. Use "Bonds" not "Bond" and "Taxes" not "Tax".
• Links and page names should be plain english and not "CamelCase". MediaWiki does not automatically create links, you have to use the [[name]] syntax, so you can use proper titles as well.
• All examples should end with the word "Example" and should be in the "Examples" category.

Namespaces

Remember that you can not define new namespaces. They syntax might make you believe you can, but "Example:XXX" only creates a page named so, it does not create an "Example" namespace. To cluster pages, use categories, not namespaces. Namespace is a meta-concept.

The namespaces we use:

• Main (or "BattleMaster Wiki") or no prefix - most pages.
• Help: For pages that help people getting around the wiki.
• Meta: Stuff for the editors or people interested in contributing things.
