| − | == Tone ==
| |
| − | CrawlWiki is not just an encyclopedia of ''DCSS'', but articles in the main namespace should be written in a largely encyclopaedic tone. That means clearly separating facts from comments, by putting strategy tips in their own section, and comments on the talk page. Spelling and grammar should follow (american/british standardized?) rules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please keep your sentences short, especially if your native language favors long ones.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Article names ==
| |
| − | Try to be consistent with existing articles:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Name most pages with lowercase letters, like [[scroll of identify]], but use uppercase for proper nouns, like [[Orb of Zot]].
| |
| − | * Prefer singular to plural (i.e. [[Dragon]] instead of [[Dragons]])
| |
| − | * Redirect acronyms like [[GDA]] to pages like [[gold dragon armour]]. However, [[identification]], [[scroll of identify]], and [[spellbook of identify]] can be three separate pages.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first time the article name appears in the main text, it should be '''bolded'''. This includes the titles of any redirects redirecting to the article. In-game messages documented in a definition list will be bolded automatically:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ; "You feel centered in your personal space."
| |
| − | : You gained teleport control through eating a corpse, while hallucinating
| |
| − | | |
| − | formats into
| |
| − | | |
| − | ; "You feel centered in your personal space."
| |
| − | : You gained teleport control through eating a corpse, while hallucinating
| |

| − | ===Redirects===
| |
| − | When creating a new article, redirect variations on that name to it, to avoid someone duplicating the article under a slightly different title.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For in-game messages, redirect the message (e.g. [[The golden haze around you disappears]]) to the article about the thing that caused it. If the message can have multiple causes, create a disambiguation page (e.g. [[Your skin feels warm for a moment]]).

| − | The syntax for a redirect is like this:

| − | | |
| − | #REDIRECT <nowiki>[[spellbook of protection]]</nowiki>
