Summary

  • Aim for consistency, stability, clarity and sourced material
  • Search the MoS for advice on specific topics
  • When in doubt, copy the formatting of an existing article (e.g. a Featured article, especially one on a similar subject)
  • Although it's important to follow the MoS where possible, content is more important than formatting
