Howdypedia:Style guide
From Howdypedia, the Bang! Howdy wiki
For the most part, we follow Wikipedia's manual of style. However, we also have a few additional conventions.

[edit] Article names
Everything should follow:
[edit] File names
For consistency and alphabetization purposes, some files' names are prefixed with a specific word (such files are still appropriately tagged).
[edit] Prefixes
- Badge images are prefixed by Badge-, and are tagged with {{badge image}}.
- Board component images are prefixed by Map-, and are tagged with {{map image}} or {{map image-cc}}
- Bonus images are prefixed by Bonus-, and are tagged with {{bonus image}}.
- Buckle images are prefixed by Buckle-, and are tagged with {{buckle image}}.
- Card images are prefixed by Card-, and are tagged with {{card image}}.
- Clothing images are prefixed by either Male- or Female-, depending on the item's gender, and are tagged with {{clothing image}}.
- Music files are prefixed by Music-, and are tagged with {{music file}}.
- Outlaw images are prefixed by Outlaw-, and are tagged with {{outlaw image}}.
- Sound files are prefixed by Sound-, and are tagged with {{sound file}}.
All other files should be named following what they describe.
[edit] Capitalization
At present, not all terms' capitalization status is determined; in such cases, terms may be either capitalized or uncapitalized. For discussion, go here. "Uncapitalized" means that a term is not capitalized (although it may still be, following normal sentence structure); "capitalized" means that the unit follows ingame capitalization (which generally means that all words within the term are capitalized).
- Generic (and some specific) terms such as scenario, board/map, town, and big shot are uncapitalized.
- Town names are capitalized, e.g. Frontier Town.
- Board names are capitalized, e.g. Abandoned Ranch
- Unit names are capitalized, e.g. Steam Gunman.
- Big shot names are capitalized, e.g. Old Codger.
- Card names are capitalized, e.g. Giddy Up.
- Bonus names are capitalized, e.g. Bonus Point Star.
- Clothing names are capitalized following ingame expression, e.g. Frontier Dress with Book and Duster with cigarette.
