Below is the style guide for the HighSpell Wiki.
- All article titles and spellings should mirror how they appear in-game first and foremost.
- E.g. "Helmet Of Melee" is how it appears in game, versus "Helmet of Melee".
- Articles written using Amercian English are preferred over other forms of English.
- E.g. Using the word "color" instead of "colour".
- Capitalize article page titles according to APA style guidelines.
- E.g. "Sewer Rat" instead of "Sewer rat".
- Click here for a capitalization tool.
- Use a plural noun as an article's title if the subject sounds more natural when grouped together.
- E.g. "Bronze Arrows" instead of "Bronze Arrow".
- Italicise titles of works.
- E.g. "HighSpell is an online multiplayer game."
- Link a keyword the first time it appears in each main section; even if it's a link to the current page. If the page has multiple main sections, repeat the link in each one.
- E.g. "Water Obelisk Teleport is a Magic spell that requires special scrolls and level 40 Magic to cast."
- Avoid including punctuation in link text unless the punctuation is part of the noun itself.
- Prefer numerals with Western delimiting commas over written numbers.
- E.g. "50,000" instead of "fifty-thousand".
- Use the DD-MM-YYYY format for numerical dates (e.g., 04-20-2021).
- Use the 'Month Day, Year' format for dates (e.g., April 20th, 2021).
- Use the
{{Stub}}
template at the end of articles that are sparse and need more content. - Use the
{{Item}}
template at the beginning of articles about in-game items. - Use the
{{NPC}}
template at the beginning of articles about in-game NPCs. - Use the
{{Shop}}
template at the beginning of articles about in-game shops. - Use the
{{Update}}
template at the beginning of articles that consist of an official news post copied verbatim from HighSpell's website. - Use descriptive file names.
- E.g. "Frost Warrior.jpg" instead of "screenshot_8642049_4869nice94.jpg".
