Quake Wiki:Policies and guidelines

We generally follow the same conventions as Wikipedia, so if you're familiar with those you're all set. When in doubt, just use common sense.

Spelling

Don't worry about American/Everyone-else spelling conventions (colour/color and that sort of thing) too much, as long as you don't mix them in the same sentence!

Article titles

Only the first word and proper nouns in an article title should be capitalized (not that MediaWiki gives you a choice with the first word).

Good:

• Singleplayer maps
• Customizing Quake

Bad:

• Singleplayer Maps
• Config Files

(Unfortunately a lot of cleanup still needs to be done in this area.)

Console variables

By default, MediaWiki capitalizes the first letter in an article title, and treats underscores as spaces. This means articles on console variables will have really ugly titles, such as "Cl name" for "cl_name". For these articles, include the text {{lowercase-underscores}} at the beginning of the article (see sv_gravity for an example). The URL will still have a initial capital letter, but that's not too bad.

I tried copying the template:lowercase from Wikipedia to see if it would function here but while it doesn't break anything it doesn't change the capital letters to lowercase (for the first letter only, see iD Software for example) like it does for Wikipedia. Not sure why... --Hectate (talk) 01:18, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
