Adding and Editing Articles

Before adding an article, conduct a search to make sure you are not duplicating work. To discuss information on an article, use its talk page. If you need to test editing, you can use the Sandbox to practice.

Formatting Style

The content on the Siglerpedia should follow these formatting style guidelines:

• The first word on an article is to be bold. (unless it's not the subject; eg: The)
• Book titles are to be italicized.
• There can be more than one wiki link to the same article on a page.
• There are to be no links in headings ( == Heading == ).

Content is most important...formatting can come later.
