Re: Encyclopedia Malfadorica (Wiki)
Ed, Wiki IS case sensitive. And we could end up with separate pages for 'Fighter' and 'fighter' if we are not careful. Actually, we could end up with 4 separate pages if you throw in 'Fighters' and 'fighters'. This is why Lazarus has been trying to establish some consistant standards early on.

Re: Encyclopedia Malfadorica (Wiki)
Regarding the "Armor" vs "Armour", and other such spelling issues.
IMO, the best way is to spell it the way it is spelt in the game. Anybody who is looking these things up will probably use the spelling they see on their SE4 window

Re: Encyclopedia Malfadorica (Wiki)
What are the standards? lower case no plural? that sounds right but im not sure and if that's so i've already violated that.

Re: Encyclopedia Malfadorica (Wiki)
Right. Standards for article titles are:
Lowercase (unless (1) something's normally capitalized or (2) there's some other good reason for capitalization, as in Alphabetical Index (a very important page) or Imperial Ego (because it's talking about Ego and makes sense))
No plurals (again, unless something would make less sense without. "resources" and "shields" come to mind.)
No abbreviations
American spelling
Of course, if you say "armour" or "colour" in the *text* of your article, we won't complain. I think I need to post these in a "Standards" page |

From the Population growth entry:

TC, are you sure about this? I only get a population increment every tenth turn (at the beginning of each new year) in my games. |
