Timescape Wiki:Manual of Style
In general, the Wikipedia style guide is a good set of guidelines for general issues not covered in this document.
Make sure to end every sentence with an appropriate punctuation mark. Only use a single space between sentences.
The serial comma, sometimes called the Oxford comma, is preferred.
Article titles and headings
Article titles should be written in sentence case, capitalizing the first letter but no others unless they are part of a proper noun. An article's title should be the name by which the subject is currently and most commonly known. Section headings should also be written in sentence case.
Do not use articles (a, an, or the) as the first word (Economy of the Caelian Empire, not The economy of the Caelian Empire), unless it is an inseparable part of a name (The Hague) or title of a work (A Clockwork Orange, The Simpsons).
Other Things
- The term ancestry is always preferred to race.
- The names of ancestries and sub-ancestries (e.g. human, elf, githyanki) are not proper nouns.
- Classes are not proper nouns, but subclasses are, so Slim is a Defender tactician. (not sure if this is true with Draw Steel)
- Nationalities and languages are capitalized, so an individual might be a Riojan polder Defender tactician who speaks Halfling.
- Generic names for magic items (e.g. belt of hill giant strength) are not capitalized except for proper nouns within them (e.g. Heward's handy haversack). Individual named magic items (e.g. Wound) are capitalized.
