This is the official style guide of the DemocracyCraft Wiki.

General Styling

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).


Page styling

Specific page type formatting

Follow these layout directions for individual page types!

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 (|).

Information templates

Notification templates
