 We don't have strict style policies. Generally, editors should follow common sense. When in doubt, [[wikipedia:WP:MOS|Wikipedia Manual of Style]] is a good resource for all things wiki style.

+Below are a few oddities that markedly differ from wikipedia's encyclopediac nature:
-== Naming ==
+=== Naming ===
 The basis for article naming is what you see in the game. Every ''notable'' object in the game ''(Items, characters and such)'' should have corresponding page in the wiki, even if it's just a redirect to the main article. (As is the case with most craftable item variations.) In case of name conflict, use disambigation with no preference given to any one page over others sharing the name. ''(eg. [[Guard]] for the feat and various generic NPCs.)''
@@ Line 21: / Line 21: @@
 * Others files may use whatever conventions are established; Look at how other files in the same category are named.
-== Spoiler policy ==
+=== Spoiler policy ===
 We try to avoid spoiling surprises and secrets, but spoilers are not explicitly marked where they are to be expected. ''(Eg. lore and quest pages can contain unmarked spoilers pertaining to the topic.)''
@@ Line 31: / Line 31: @@
 A good rule of thumb is to keep spoilers proportional to what a reader would reasonably expect. On a character or faction article having background information should not be a problem, but for bits that are treated as secrets in the game, or for those that are not but are not revealed until much later, it is better to use inline spoiler or hiddensection. And when the spoiler is too big to take the risk or its presence is in itself a spoiler, it is best to split. Conversely on pure lore articles – such as Biocorp projects, historical events, obscure mentioned-only characters, articles in general you would be unlikely to visit by accident – do not worry too much about marking spoilers, if at all. That said, it's best decided on a case by case basis.
-== Sources and references ==
+=== Sources and references ===
 This wiki does not have the standard mediawiki Cite extension installed, so <ref> tags can't be used. References are normally not required as the main source for nearly everything in this wiki should be the game itself. When necessary (citing developer posts or such), unnamed external link wrapped in <nowiki><sup></nowiki> tags will create an inline reference link that looks like a familiar mediawiki reference.

 Notable exception: This wiki started hosting [[player-made maps]] as a stopgap measure to help players before the [[Global Map]] was introduced. Given enough interest, we could also host guides, player builds, or other such content. But given the wiki's small contributor base, such projects seem very unlikely at this time.
