In order to preserve consistency throughout this wiki, please follow these style guidelines when creating new articles:

  • Use level two subheadings for subsections in an article. Do not use bold text for these subheadings.
  • For schedules, use schedule templates.
  • Do not take screenshots of napcharts. Use the image export feature.
  • Use bullets for lists (you can type it with an asterisk).

More will be added as time goes on.
