Overview

To insure conformity across this Wiki please take on board these simple guidelines

Naming your article

When coming up with a name for your article or tutorial please make it as informative but concise as possible. Make it straight to the point rather than long winded. So if you're writing an article on installing mods for Oblivion you should name it "Installing mods for Oblivion" rather than "How to install mods for Oblivion without any hassle".

Do not use "title capitalisation". Title capitalisation is where you capitalise the first letter of every word in the title. For example the title should be "Installing mods for Oblivion", not "Installing Mods For Oblivion".

You should use the underscore character "_" to replace spaces in the page title. For example this page was started using "Standard_template". The underscore is automatically replaced with a space by the Wiki software. Our mod install example would therefore be "Installing_mods_for_Oblivion", not "InstallingmodsforOblivion".

Template

When making new articles on the Wiki please try and follow the template below to insure conformity across the Wiki.
