AchaeaWiki:Formatting

Below are the details of the various policies that have been agreed to by the Chroniclers.

Capitalisation

• If it's capitalised in Achaea, capitalise it in the wiki. If it's not capitalised in Achaea, don't capitalise it in the wiki. Don't capitalise adventurer, newbie, denizen, or other general groupings.
  • For example: "Asara is an Adventurer" should be "Asara is an adventurer."

• Do capitalise certain immortal (not Immortal) pronouns. These include those that refer to the Pentad, the Pantheon, the Elder Gods, and Demigods. These do NOT include the Administration, Celani, Aldar, Guides, or Lord Clementius.

• Do capitalise all race names, both adventurer and denizen, when referring to them as a group or as a singular noun. Do NOT capitalise these terms when used in the adjective form. The only exception to these rules are humans whose references should be lowercase in all instances (except at the start of a sentence.)
  • For example: "Asara is a member of the Mingruk community" or "Asara is a Tsol'aa" or "Asara is dwarven" or "Asara is a human."

• Do capitalise all racial languages, both adventurer and denizen. For example: "Asara speaks Dwarven." vs. "Asara is dwarven."

• Do not capitalise all words in an article title that has more than one word unless it is a proper noun or it is capitalised in Achaea.
  • For example: "Toady Bellhops" should be "Toady bellhops" both in the article title and in the article itself.

• Do capitalise the words "House" and "Guild" when refering to those organisations that transitioned from Guilds to Houses. A "house" uncapitalised refers to things such as player subdivision housing or denizen houses (i.e. regular residential houses).

• Do capitalise skill names as they are proper nouns.
  • For example: "I have the Metamorphosis skill."

Bolding

• All names and proper titles should be bolded the first time they appear on their page.

Linking

• Only link to relevant pages.
