Don't use dashes. Similarly to the smart quotes, dashes are things generated by a word processor. When you want to use a dash, use two hyphens. For example, if I were to give you an example--and wanted a parenthetical statement--I'd do it like this!

===Article Titles===
 
Titles of articles should be singular. However, it is easy to have wikilinks that are plural which direct to singular titles. For example: <nowiki>[[Highprince]]s</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Highprinces]]</nowiki>. You can also use apostrophes similarly.
 
 
Beware that, on multiple word wiki titles, there is a difference between "Shattered plains" and "Shattered Plains". Always use standard capitalization for terminology. MediaWiki also differentiates articles depending on whether apostrophes are smart quotes or not, so be sure to use regular quotes, not the curlier quotes a rich word processor like Microsoft Word produces.
 
===Section Titles===
 
Do not apply formatting to section titles, and do not put wikilinks in them either. It just looks tacky.
