Revision as of 08:02, 22 November 2020

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).

More will be added as time goes on.
