Wiki:StyleGuide

This is the style guide for the Dune: Awakening Community Wiki to ensure standardisation and consistency across the pages of the wiki. This generally follows guidance of the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Generally speaking, contributors should follow the guidance listed there for grammar, punctuation and vocabulary, except where it would conflict with the below points, which take priority.

Headings

• Every page should start with an opening paragraph to introduce the subject, provide a bit of wider context, and allow link previews to have something to display.
• Do not use = h1 = headings as every page already has a h1.
• == h2 == headings should be used for top-level categories, then === h3 === for subcategories.
• Do not go any lower than ==== h4 ====. Most pages won't need to go lower than 2 anyway.
• At the bottom of each page, include references with a header:

== References ==
<references />

Images

• Where possible, include at least one image, as it helps with embeds and gives visual context.
• ALL images should include ALT text.

Categories

• Every page should have at least 1 category.
• Every page should be reachable from the main page within 3 clicks (links/categories etc) maximum.

Writing

• The default wiki language is English.
• Writing style should be clear, concise and neutral - however this is still a game wiki, so it does not have to be overly formal.

Sourcing

• The game's official webpage, as well as the Funcom Help Center, can of course be used as external sources where necessary.
• The Dune Wiki can be referenced when sourcing canon Duniverse lore.
• Wikipedia should be used for established facts and definitions, if the need arises.
