# ''Naming articles:''

## Titles should be written in proper gramatical sentence case, except for proper nouns and ~~acronyms~~.

## Titles should be written in proper gramatical sentence case, except for proper nouns, acronyms and titles based on in-game items or systems.

##* ''Correct: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog''

##* <div style="color:grey">The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog''</div>

##* <div style="color:grey">Incorrect: The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog</div>

## Use full names for any articles you create. Create a redirect page for abbreviations and alternate spellings.

## Titles name should be singular so they can be linked while appearing either singular (<code><nowiki>[[article]]</nowiki></code>) or plural (<code><nowiki>[[article]]s</nowiki></code>), without the need for redirects.

# ''Templates:'' Templates help to organize content. See [[:Category:Templates]] full list of available templates.

# ''Categories:'' Always group articles into [[Special:Categories|categories]]. If you are unsure which category fits best, start a discussion on the article's talk page.

=== History ===

Since The Last Starship is still a work in progress, things change over time. This can be confusing when players look up solutions to problems they might run into. For this reason, we try to keep track of changes in equipment and game mechanics.

When a new build is released and changes how something operates, create a ''History'' section on the page. Changes should be listed chronologically from older to newest as shown below:

<pre>

==History==

{{History|1.1|Adjusted power consumption from 100 MW to 150 MW.}}

</pre>

== File uploads ==

To keep things consistent and predictable, file uploads should be named using [[Wikipedia:Camel_case|Pascal Case]]:

* The first letter of each word should be capitalized

* There should be no spaces, hyphens, or underscores between words

For example, <code>Air Reprocessor sprite.png</code> would be written as <code>AirReprocessor.png</code>.

== Writing style ==
