This page is a style guide for SeptemWiki.

Basic Formatting

  • Never use the top level headline. That's what page titles format as. Start with the second level.
= This is a bad top level headline, one equals sign on each side =
== This is a good 2nd level headline, two equals signs on each side ==

Citations

  • If you're going to include some fact that isn't widely known or easily found on something like Wikipedia, a source would be nice. We don't have to be as fussy about this as Wikipedia does, but it might be nice to help out.
    • Example of something easily found elsewhere: How long one of the Tunnels is.
    • Example of something not easily found elsewhere: That Quemahoning Tunnel was completed in 1905, or that its west portal was obliterated in 1981 by Turnpike construction crews.
  • If your source is likely to be something used on multiple pages, make life easier for yourself and everyone else, and add it to the Source: namespace. See Help:Citations for instructions.
