This style guide ensure consistency on the wiki. Use it wherever possible to keep the same standards across pages. As a general recommendation, take existing similar articles as example.

Article titles

Generally speaking, follow Wikipedia style for titles.

  • Capitalize the initial letter not every word. The URL should contain _ as word split.
  • For tools documentation use the full name of the tool without the brand. Capitalize the same way, for example : imagePROGRAF PRO-1000. Mention the brand in the Lead section.

Article Layout

  1. Lead section also called introduction.
  2. Table of content. Use __TOC__ to place it before the first title.
  3. Content
  4. See also. Internal links to related or comparable articles.
  5. Notes and references
  6. Bibliography
  7. External links or Further reading depending on the context.

Lead section

  • Keep it short, define the subject within 250 characters.
  • Mention the subject as early as possible and make it bold.

Images

Try to upload files with reduced file size :

  • Reduce the size (smartphones photographies can be huge like 4000*3000px).
  • Compress the file.
  • Use optimized formats like webp.
