Style Guide
From Orson Scott Card Wiki
This is an attempt to answer some questions about style through the wiki. Feel free to debate any of the proposals. The end result should be something that makes the use of the site as simple as possible.

[edit] Quoting
When quoting, use the following.
- italics on (two single ticks)
- a double-quote (")
- the quote
- a double-quote
- italics off (two single ticks)
The end result should be written ''"Something like this"'' and look "Something like this"
[edit] Templates
Several templates exist under the link Templates. Insert these template into your page when creating a new page under any of the templated categories by typing {{subst:template name}} and hitting save. You can then edit the page again to fill in the template. For more information see the page about the template to be used.
[edit] Linking
When writing or editing a page, link everything than can be, or should be linked on the first appearance of a term. Do not link subsequent appearances of the term. Don't be shy in making links. That's the power of the wiki.
[edit] Capitalizing Titles
When creating a new page, please capitalize all words in the title, unless the article title matches the title of a novel or other work that follows a different capitalization rule.
[edit] Categorizing Articles
Every article should be categorized. This will aid in organization of the wiki. See Categorization for more information.
