This gives you some guidelines on writing articles.

Templates

  • When using templates, make sure you place the widest banner template the upmost, and then place the second widest right beneath it, etc.
  • When using templates, always place the text templates AFTER the banner templates.
  • Always remember that using ranking templates will place the page in the category. Use the template like this: {{Tera|cat=}} if you want to avoid that.

Date & Time

  • In places like infoboxes, dates should always be marked in the DD/MMM/YYYY short format. (Like 13 Jan 2014)
  • Never use ambiguous date formats like 6/3/2010. Always use unambiguous ones like 3rd of March or June 6th.
  • DD/MM is preferred, but MM/DD is allowed, as long as the above rule is followed.
  • 24 hour time is preferred, as it allows saving space.
