-* '''K'''eys: This wiki is about a game that uses nearly 100% keyboard input, so we have a template to improve the display of keys: {{tl|k}} (abbreviation of {{tl|key}}). For example, the syntax <code><nowiki>{{k|q}}</nowiki></code> will generate {{k|q}}, a standardized and visually pleasing representation of the "q" key. The enter key should be done as <code><nowiki>{{k|Enter}}</nowiki></code> ({{k|Enter}}), for example, and the arrow keys use arrow characters, found in the second row of [[CP437|this handy code page]]. The right arrow key, for example, appears as {{k|→}}. {{tl|k-}} can be used for sequences of keys - for example, <code><nowiki>{{k-|a|b}}</nowiki></code> produces {{k-|a|b}}.

-* '''N'''aming: The titles of new pages should be <u>singular</u> nouns, with <u>only the first word capitalized</u>. Example: [[Screw pump]], [[Metalsmith's forge]], [[Gear assembly]]. Exceptions are proper nouns and terms that are always plural. Getting the wrong name can mean extra redirects and always means a page move. Screw pump is not the same as Screw Pump. Exceptions may be made in cases where two very different things would otherwise have the same page name, such as [[bar]] versus [[bars]]. Do not put question marks in the names of articles: due to the way they are handled in URIs it messes things up, though not irreversibly.
