Halopedia:Manual of Style

This Manual of Style for Halopedia is a guide for editors on how to properly format Halopedia articles.

General

 * 1) Please categorize articles and insert navigational templates appropriately to ensure that Halopedia is a more orderly compendium of Halo knowledge.
 * 2) Please do not insert a heading, such as ==Summary==, if there is only a single heading within the article. Just don't put a heading until you feel the need to insert two, and then you may create two.
 * 3) Whenever inserting pictures in "thumb" format, such as [[Image:Random.jpg|thumb|left]], be sure to add a caption like [[Image:Random.jpg|thumb|left|Caption goes here.]].

Ships

 * 1) Use the template on ship articles to italicize the name. For example, on the page for the fictional ship '1010, at the top of the page, insert  . This italicizes the article's name.
 * 2) Start any ship classification article with: The XYZ-class (destroyer, frigate, cruiser, etc...) was a warship in the (UNSC/Covenant) fleet.
 * 3) Start any specific ship article with: The ABC was a/an DEF-class (destroyer, frigate, etc...) in the (UNSC/Covenant) fleet.
