Elite Dangerous Wiki:Manual of Style
Manual of Style provides local editorial guidance for the independent Elite Dangerous Wiki. Apply it alongside community standards and existing local policies.
Names and language
Use the game'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.
Article structure
Begin with a concise definition and the subject'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.
Versions, figures and accessibility
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.
