Note: as with programming "styles"As some of these conventions can be considered preferences, everyone has a different opinion. Which which style we agree to is not very important, but I think consistency is good. If you don't like some of these conventions make suggestions [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|in the talk page]].
Capitalize Use the first word only most everywhere else:* In categories, eg. same name as the in-game "Orc bosseslabel", with the exact same punctuation and capitalization, generally in singular.* In headingsNote: during alpha there are '''typos''' in a few places, egthe developers likely will fix those. "How It is best to use consistency here to get there"avoid renaming pages and redirects down the line.
This section gives an overview of the common categories: : [[:Category:Zones]]: [[:Category:Dungeons]]: [[:Category:Bosses]]: [[:Category:Elite]] (Elite Bosses): [[:Category:NPCs]]:: [[:Category:Serbule NPCs]]:: [[:Category:Eltibule NPCs]]:: See [[Project Gorgon Wiki:Category:Kur Mountains NPCsCategories]]:: etc.: [[:Category:Skills]]:: [[:Category:Beast Forms]]:: [[:Category:Combat Skills]]:: [[:Category:Other Skills]]:: [[:Category:Trade Skills]]
→Article guide pages
It's the early days of the wiki during alpha. Much of this is still up for discussion ([[{{TALKPAGENAME}}]]).
<span style="color:#484">Please note as of writing some of the wiki content does not follow the guidelines. Whether it makes sense to rename articles and categories I don't know. The idea is to try to be consistent from here on.</span>
==General formatting==
===Capitalization===
'''Capitalize each word for only proper nouns''' as a general rule (a noun describing a unique entity). This includes: named entities in the game creatures (creaturesbosses), unique items, areaszones, dungeons, etc. '''Headings''': use normal sentence case (eg.."How to learn"), except for proper nouns mentioned in the heading. '''Categories''': likewise use capitalization only for proper nouns (eg. "Crystal CavernKur Mountains NPCs"), and not for common nouns (eg. Except for "Skill trainers"). ==Article names==Use the exact in"-game spelling for skills, locations, quests, items, "of" etc. (eg. "Word all proper nouns of Power"in-game unique entities).
==Categories==
==Article guide pages==
The following pages have been created to ducment document the desired structure of the articles. Note that not every section of the page needs to be in the articles. They are an example page in which we can discuss what the structure of the articles should look like. These should be used as a guide for creating new articles. For now I recommend to "watch" the pages below (click the star icon). It helps, as we otherwise don't get notifications when commenting in the talk pages.

==Templates==
{{Ambox|border=blue|type=Notice|info=When creating or editing [[:Category:Templates|Templates]], please make use of {{t|Documentation}} and it's <b>many</b> functionalities !}}See [[:Category:Template demos]] for examples. See [[:Category:Formatting templates|Formatting templates]] category for a full list of templates you can use.
If you have some template ideas, or something you'd like, drop me a message at [[User talk:Gorgonzola]].
| - || Create an attractive "info card" for dungeons and sub-areas (do not use for zones yet, may use a different template).
|}
== User Pages ==
Player-created characters should not receive individual pages on the wiki. Exceptions exist for characters that become ingrained into the game, such as dukes of regions or cities. Player characters which have items named after them may also have pages, but the content of both these pages and the prior exception should be formatted as NPC pages, and not used as personal message boards or advertisement spaces.
Users may create and monitor their individual User pages. Once a user access the wiki, they may create their User page by clicking on their username in the upper right corner of this website. See (http://projectgorgon.com/wiki/User:Kingfury) for an example.
On a User Page's Discussion tab, Users may leave a comments. Always reply to other comments using multiple ":" to create indents. Sign your name after a comment with four "~"
==Quotation==
For developer text, please use [[Template:Quote]] and specify the source URL. See [[Quote Template Demos]] for examples.
In-game text in general should be ''"quoted and italicized"''. Use the Quote template if it fits.
