Half-Life Wiki:Manual of Style

This Manual of Style for the OverWiki is a guide for editors on how to properly format OverWiki articles.

General

 * Please categorize articles and insert navigational templates appropriately to ensure that the OverWiki is a more orderly compendium of Half-Life knowledge.
 * Please do not insert a heading, such as ==Summary==, if there is only a single heading within the article. Just don't put a heading until you feel the need to insert two, and then you may create two.
 * Whenever inserting pictures in "thumb" format, such as [[Image:Random.jpg|thumb|left]], be sure to add a caption like [[Image:Random.jpg|thumb|left|Caption goes here.]].
 * Refer to the Half-Life universe from an out-of-universe perspective. Always use third-person writing.
 * List all references at the end articles.
 * Refrain from using slashes whenever possible. Instead, work the word "or" into the sentence, or figure out some other way of stating it.

Characters

 * Please name all character articles by their full known name, not their title/rank as well. Docter Gordon Freeman's article is titled Gordon Freeman, not Docter Gordon Freeman.
