<p>Localise template catalogue and editorial guidance for the independent wiki</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Manual of Style&#039;&#039;&#039; provides local editorial guidance for the independent Elite Dangerous Wiki. Apply it alongside [[Project:Community standards|community standards]] and [[Project:Policies|existing local policies]].<br /> <br /> == Names and language ==<br /> Use the game&#039;s established names for ships, modules, systems and features. Follow [[Project:Spelling]] and local article conventions. Use sentence case for ordinary headings and preserve the capitalisation of proper names. Prefer a clear explanation to jargon that a new player cannot understand.<br /> <br /> == Article structure ==<br /> Begin with a concise definition and the subject&#039;s relevance to Elite Dangerous. Group related information under descriptive headings. Keep infobox fields consistent with the article and omit unknown values rather than guessing. Use tables for comparable values and prose for explanations. See [[Project:Article titles]].<br /> <br /> == Versions, figures and accessibility ==<br /> Identify historical and platform-specific behaviour explicitly. Include units, dates and a source for changing statistics. Give informative images useful captions and alternative text. Do not convey meaning through colour alone. Preview tables on narrow screens. Separate trivia, speculation and player advice from documented mechanics.<br /> <br /> [[Project:Editorial guidance|Editorial guidance directory]]</div>
