The following are guidelines for consistency in wiki article formatting and presentation.
General
- Be succinct as verbose articles are less likely to be read in full.
- All sentences should end with proper punctuation if possible.
- Digit grouping (thousands separator) should use commas.
- Lists use serial commas.
- Placeholder terms should be surrounded by curly braces.
Date/Time
- Whenever the year is irrelevant use abbreviated shorthand Mmm. DD (e.g. Jan. 29).
- Whenever the day is irrelevant use abbreviated shorthand Mmm. YYYY (e.g. Jan. 2008).
- Otherwise dates should follow the ISO 8601 standard YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2008-01-29).
- Times should be in 24-hour format.
- Relative times should use UTC.
- The term "30 days" should be used in place of "month" in any area where it is more accurate (most E-H processes).
Links
- Links to galleries must be in e-hentai.org format (Multi-Page Viewer and Lo-Fi notwithstanding).
- Any text which is naturably linkable to an article should be linked (e.g. any mention of the word equipment).
- Exceptions:
- Any instances which would lead to articles linking to themselves.
- Redundant linking; e.g. the same term mentioned 2+ times in one sentence.
- Exceptions:
- Links should use HTTPS whenever possible.
- References should use the linked text (Ref) and are in superscript; footnotes are unnecessary.
- Pages with multiple references may abstain from using any link text.
Tables
- Should use the wikitable class.
Formulas
- Should use the <pre> template (<pre<includeonly></includeonly> style="overflow: auto;{{{style|}}}">{Formula}</pre>).
- The term being solved (if shown) should be at the beginning and bolded.
- Explanations for terms should be kept outside the <pre> area (unless also a formula).
Unconfirmed Data
- Information that is estimated/unconfirmed should be marked with "(?)"
- Conflicting or obsolete information should be hidden if not removed.
- Opinions are to kept in discussion pages.
Language
- All phrasing should be in the neutral third person.
- Exceptions exist for newbie-friendly articles such as Main Page, HentaiVerse, FAQs, Technical Issues, and Advice.
- All non-English articles use the same titles as their English counterparts appended with forward slash and the language used (e.g. Credits/Spanish).
