Sonic News Network:Style

As a single source of information, the Sonic Wiki should use a single style. This validates the Sonic Wiki as a reliable source of Sonic information.

Editors of the Sonic Wiki keep certain policies in mind while creating, writing, and improving articles. Some things for all editors to remember when editing are the following:

General

 * Refer occasionally to the Central Wikia styles and (maybe a little less often) to the Wikipedia styles that Wikia tends to respect.
 * Check for similar categories and articles before creating them. We do not need similar categories. Nor do we need information in Big the Cat and similar information in Big the cat. If it does not exist, make a redirect by using #REDIRECT Page title.
 * If a page in a specific category already exists, try to follow the same organization as the other pages. Example: If you are making Sky Chase Zone you would follow some styles established in Emerald Hill Zone - unless you have used the talk pages to get agreement on new and better styles.

Usage

 * Do not use the word you or your or any derivative, but rather a person or a person's.
 * Avoid using the first-person in your articles.

POV - Point of View

 * Keep your strong personal bias out of articles.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view at all times. As per the previous point, your personal opinion is not encyclopedic.

Wikilinking

 * Do not link to Sonic in every article. That association is inherent.
 * Use efficient link formats, especially for plurals. The first letter of a link is always an implied capital.

Copying from Wikipedia
See Wikipedia and Template:enWP.

Naming

 * Pages must have appropriate titles. Pages must be in the singular (unless otherwise accepted), and must have proper capitalisation. Do not use title case, but instead sentence case.

Capitalising

 * For page titles and headings, do not use "Title Case", but instead use "Sentence case".

Dates and times
All UTC, except that on some pages users can set their preference for a local time.

Editors: add more to this list as appropriate.
