This is the official style guide of the DemocracyCraft Wiki.
1. General Styling
This wiki runs using MediaWiki, so if you need a reference for something missing here, it is likely on their Help:Formatting page.
Quick references
While editing pages in "edit source" mode, you can press the "Help" button for a quick reference to formatting types like italics, bold, and headers.
Capitalisation
Always capitalise proper nouns, as is proper in English. Use sentence case for all titles, headings, and categories (for example, "List of presidents" rather than "List of Presidents").
Date format
When writing dates, use the day-month-year format. For example, 14 April 2020. Incorrect versions of this format include "the 14th of April 2020" or "14 April, 2020"; avoid these incorrect versions.
Interlinks
Interlinks — links to other pages in the wiki — should only be included in the first mention of the subject, not every time it appears on the page.
Spelling
Proper spelling should be used at all times, unless quoting someone. For common nouns, use Australian English spellings (such as organisation, centre, encyclopaedia).
Retrieving a minecraft skin
If you need to get someone's minecraft skin for an article, use these methods:
- Full skin, isometric
https://www.mc-heads.net/body/(uuid)/100.png
- Head, isometric
https://www.mc-heads.net/head/(uuid)/100.png
To get a user's UUID, you can go to their NameMC page and find it on the right side.
2. Page styling
Specific page type formatting
Follow these layout directions for individual page types!
3. Templates
How to use templates
You can use templates by wrapping the name with double curly braces, like {{Infobox}}. A lot of templates that are for information also take in parameters, which are better explained in their documentation page, but the general template is between each parameter is a vertical line (|).
