Difference between revisions of "Help:Style"

In a strange turn of events with the wiki software, there's a difference between the quotation marks that, say, Word produces and those that a plain text editor. Normal text editors like Notepad or the wiki edit screen produce characters like " and '. But, if you typed "Vin's" into Word, that apostrophe would be more "curly". Word does this because that makes things look better in a book or printed page, but the wiki software makes a distinction between normal quotes and the curlier "smart" quotes. When possible, use normal quotes.

 

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.

 

*Terms with the Nobility when not referring to a specific case - keep, house, manor

*Mundane terms - boxing, mists, ashfalls, streetslot, etc.
