HighSpell Wiki/Style Guide

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 American 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".
• Avoid placing images directly within paragraphs, as they can disrupt readability. Images should primarily be used in tables or designated image sections to maintain a clean and easy-to-follow layout.
  • E.g. "The Goblin can drop Copper Ore sometimes." instead of "The Goblin can drop sometimes."
• 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.
  • E.g. "Here's an article about squirrels! Did you know that squirrels like to climb up trees?"
• Prefer numerals with Western delimiting commas over written numbers when the value is eleven (11) or higher.
  • E.g. "50,000" instead of "fifty-thousand".
• Unless representing a specific item quantity or cost, in which case numerals under eleven are acceptable for clarity.
  • E.g. "5 ×" instead of "Five ×"
• Use the MM-DD-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".
