Style Guide

Firstly, thank you for contributing to this Wiki. Below you will find the details on the preferring formatting and style to use when contributing.

Capitalization and Localization
If an entity (resource, character, building, etc.) is capitalized in game, it should be capitalized in the Wiki. Localization should be written using EN-US.

Narrative

 * Articles should be written in third person perspective (the player), and not second (you, me, us) or first (I, me).
 * Using contractions when possible is preferred for readability.
 * Phrase sentences to prefer present tense where possible
 * e.g. "When built, Granaries store Grain" instead of "Building a granary will enable the storage of Grain"

Articles
Do not put a header before your overview or lead section. Any image provided in an Infobox should generally be a version with an alpha layer as transparent.

Resource Icons
When resource icons are needed, the Icon template should be used.

More information and syntax can be found at Template:Icon

Headers
Add a blank line before and after section headers. Headers should be written with leading and trailing spaces. Example: == Header == for easy readability.

Building Articles
Articles related to buildings should include several headers by default along with an Infobox (Template:InfoboxBuilding).
 * Description
 * Upgrade Information
 * Basic Strategy
 * Gameplay Updates

Gameplay Updates section is reserved for any updates related to a building entity that has had features and functionality patched by Crate Entertainment.

Provide edit summaries when making changes to an existing article. Enabling Preferences > Editing > "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary)" will make this a required step to submitting changes.
