The Style Guide is an ongoing attempt to build a reference resource for use by authors of Star Army articles.

Work in Progress. Inspired by Wikipedia's Manual of Style.

• Articles should be internally consistent.
• Articles of a common type (such as starships or guns) should adhere to a common format.

• Titles and section headers should be concise.
• Titles should be consistent with page URLs.
• In general, abbreviations should not be used as titles (use Imperial Registry Number, not IRN).
• Article titles should be capitalized but not in all caps. (“Creating a Character” not “Creating a character” or “CREATING A CHARACTER”).
• Article titles should be nouns or noun phrases.
• Article titles should not include “The” unless that is part of a proper noun such as a name. The same goes for “a” and “an.”
• Do not use an ampersand (&) or other special characters in a title unless they are part of an organization's official name.
• Leave space on either side of the title or section heading and a blank line before them.

• Avoid the use of the contraction it's
• Avoid the use of second-person language (you, your) in articles other than instructions for the player.

• Proper nouns should be linked in their first usage for each page (or major section, if preferred).
• Never use a full URL (starting with http) to link to an internal page when an internal link will do.
• Use spaces rather than underscores in links.
• “Sub-Articles” (such as inventory pages) should always link back to their parent page.

• Images should be less than 500 KB is size
• Images should be less than 700px wide
• Images should have an alternate text value to help visually impaired people who use page readers. Place a | after the image file name, and then type a short meaningful text description. eg. |Really cool item
