All the information you'll ever need on editing is on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page Wikipedia editing help page]. Everything on this page is specific to the Cantr wiki.
 
  
[[Current events]] has all of the arguments editors have been having recently.
 
 
[[Help:Templates]] explains how to use all the templates in the wiki.

==Article titles==
 
 
Lowercase second and subsequent words (the first is automatically capitalized by the MediaWiki software), unless the article refers to something that should be capitalized (the [[Players Department]], for example). Use the singular unless Cantr always uses the plural ([[Blueberries]], for example). Separate words with spaces.
 
 
Links to articles should be capitalized the same way they would be without the link - in other words, they should generally be lowercase. Direct references to an article should be capitalized, as in the article name.
 
 
A more detailed explanation is available at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions Wikipedia  naming conventions page].
 
 
==Standard formats==
 
All [[:Category:Machinery|machinery]], [[:Category:Vehicles|vehicle]] and [[:Category:Buildings|building]] pages must conform to the formatting used in other pages of that type.
 
 
See [[Cantr_II_Wiki:Model layouts]] for sample layouts. These must be used in the creation of any page for which a model exists.
 
 
==HTML==
 
Do not use HTML tags, such as <nowiki><br></nowiki> or <nowiki><p></nowiki>, in the wiki - they will work, but wiki-native tags are much more suited for these purposes. The exception is tables - sometimes <nowiki><br></nowiki> is needed to fit multiple lines in a cell.
 
 
==Number format==
 
In English articles, use "." as the decimal separator (17.4319, not 17,4319) - other languages should use whatever is standard in that language.
