In order to preserve consistency throughout this wiki, please follow these style guidelines when creating new articles:
- Use level 2 subheadings for sections in an article. Do not use bold text for these subheadings.
- Use level 3 subheadings for subsections. Avoid using numbered lists for this purpose as they are less readable and tend to merge into walls of text.
- 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).
- When creating a new page, ensure it has a short summary description before the paragraphs start. This is needed for showing previews correctly.
More will be added as time goes on.
