GuildWiki:Style and formatting

This article covers information on proper Style & Formatting rules. For formatting of individual sections please see the links below.

The GuildWiki is a project to document and organise the world of Guild Wars as effectively as possible in the form of a Wiki. Anyone is welcome to contribute! An important part of creating such an exhaustive source of information is ensuring that the content is delivered in a pleasing, uniform way. In order to achieve this the GuildWiki community has worked to produce some standards on the format of the wiki. As they currently stand these standards are not set in stone, but they are considered 'good policy'. If you have any suggestions for improving the standards please discuss them on the GuildWiki Style & Formatting talk page before implementing them.

Getting Started
Articles can generally describe


 * an object, such as an item or weapon
 * a Non-Player Character, either friendly or hostile
 * a location
 * a guide on how to do something, such as a quest or mission
 * a collection of all of the above in a category

Anyone is welcome to update the wiki, but before you write your article it's best to double check that an article doesn't already exist on the subject. You can do so by making use of the search bar on the left. If you are unsure, make use of the discussion link that appears at the top of every article, allowing you to discuss that article.

If you click on a red link you will be prompted with the choice to start writing a new article on the subject. You can also start a new article by clicking on the "edit" link at the top of an article with no content. For an understanding of the Wiki Code necessary to format a page please read the Help:Editing article.
