Before we get into editing articles, we need to talk about some basic editing guidelines concerning things like style, structure, layout, and etiquette. Mistakes are okay, but let's do our best to keep the quality high by following these guidelines.
 
== Style ==
Below are some key points about style. For more discussion, see our [[:Coppermind:Style|Style Guide]].
 
=== General Style ===
 
; Limit links
: You are encouraged to provide links to other articles as related terms appear in the text. In general, this can be ''limited to the first appearance of a term'' in a given article. (e.g. Don't link to the "Iron" article every single time "iron" appears in the "Allomancy" article.) However, links in infoboxes should not count toward the one link limit. In other words, if Roshar is listed in the infobox as the location, and Roshar is also in the article, both should be linked.
 
; Word processors
: In general, ''spell out the numbers 1-100'' rather than using numerals. (e.g. use "four" not "4")
: Use a ''single space'' to separate sentences. (not two)
: References at the end of sentences should be placed ''directly'' '''after''' the period.
 
=== Titles ===
;Article Titles
: Titles of articles should generally be singular.
: For characters, do not include titles, honorifics, etc. if the character's full name is known. For other scenarios, see [[Coppermind:Style#Article Titles]]
: Don't capitalize subsequent words in a title unless warranted by the [[:Coppermind:Style#Capitalization|capitalization rules]].
 
;Section Titles
: Section titles should be in [[wikipedia:title case|title case]]
: Do not apply formatting (e.g. bold, italics, etc.) to section titles.
: Do not use internal or external links in section titles.
 
== Article Structure ==
 
;Initial Templates
: An [[:Help:Templates#Infoboxes|infobox]] should be the first thing in most articles. This is directly followed by any relevant [[Template:Spoilers|spoiler]] or [[Template:Update|update]] tags.
 
;Summary
 
;Finish Up
: The article should conclude with an article status/quality tag, any relevant navigation boxes, and any extra categories.
 
== Layout ==
Good layout is important for readability and flow of the article. For examples of good layout, take a look at articles marked as [[:Category:Exemplary_articles|exemplary]].
 
;Structure
 
;Images
: Images are a fantastic way to liven up an article. As always, make sure you have theeach artistsindividual artist's permission first. Take into consideration size and spacing; the image should be clearly visible, but not obtrusive to the article text. Try mixing up the alignment of images so that they appear at different locations along the page rather than cascading down one side. Use captions to explain what the image consists of. And realize that ''too many'' images can also be a problem. If you believe a large number of images are important to an article, consider using a gallery. We'll talk about how to do all of this on the [[:Help:Images]] page.
 
;Quotations
Talk through major changes with other editors to make sure others agree with the changes. If you're making significant changes to an article that someone else has put a lot of work into, involve them in the process.
