Wiki Article Guidelines

---

All articles on the DSGHQ Wiki must follow DSGHQ's requirements and structure.

General guidelines

• Think of the purpose of the article before writing.
• Plan the article, don't write it at once
• Write in benefit of the community, not to benefit individual members
• Write in third-person (don't use I, we, us, instead, use he, they, them, etc)
• Write from a neutral perspective
• Write clearly and cohesively
• Follow DSGHQ's rules and community values

Structure

Headings

All articles need to be organised to have main headings. Every main heading needs to be surrounded in quotes.

Subheadings

Sub headings are very important to separate information within a main heading. This will also build the contents to refer your readers to their desired interest.

Just like headings, sub headings are surrounded in quotes.

Grammar

---

Correct grammar in an article is vital for text comprehension. Using spelling correction on a browser to correct any mistakes and researching words is very helpful when writing an article.

Punctuation

---

Correct usage of punctuation is also an important part of Wiki writing.

Know where commas ',' are most useful and where ';' semi-colons are not appropriate. Correct quantities of full-stops (.) and sentence lengths are important for the flow of an article.

For example, the usage of the comma in this quote:

Incorrect
Correct
Also, when mentioning a side-topic in the same sentence, make use of commas. For example, this correction:

Incorrect
Correct
Another mistake is unusual sentence lengths. These sentences below could be joined together, for example:

Incorrect
Correct
Another mistake is not including spacing around commas when listing keywords

Incorrect
Correct
A big issue is capitalization. Capital letters are only used on words that describe the names of people, places, at the beginning of sentences, titles of work and abbreviations. If the writer is unsure about the capitalization of a word, research the word.

Correction of capitalization:

Incorrect
Correct
If there are persistent mistakes in an article, editors will clean them up. Not all mistakes are seen by editors. If an article does not follow the guidelines correctly, it risks being removed.
