This page lists guidelines to follow when writing a page's title, clickbait, summary, and body text.\n\nIf there are any stylistic considerations you'd like clarified, comment here.\n\nFor style guidelines that apply specifically to the math domain, see [-57s].\n\n### Global\n\nYes: US spelling and terminology %%note: One day we'll have localization.%%.\n\n### Title\n\nYes: "First letter is capital" \nYes: "Is it okay for the title to be a question?" \nYes: "Short and sweet" \nNo: "Capitalize Every Word" \nNo: "\\*\\*Markdown\\*\\*" \nNo: "Period at the end." \nNo: "This is a long title that's basically a complete sentence of its own" (Use clickbait for that) \n* Exceptions: asking a question or evaluating a proposition \n\n### Clickbait\n\nYes: "First letter is capital." \nYes: "Pique user's interest in the topic." \nYes: "Most clickbaits are just one sentence telling user what they might find out if they read the page." \nYes: "Can a clickbait ask the reader a leading question?" \nYes: "Period or other punctuation at the end." \nYes: Omitting clickbait if the title is descriptive enough. \nNo: "Capitalize Every Word" \nNo: "\\*\\*Markdown\\*\\*" \n\n### Alias\n\n- Yes: "lowercase_with_underscores"\n- Yes: "using_full_words"\n- Yes: "be_specific_style_guide" (as opposed to "specific")\n- No: "abrv" (abbreviations)\n- No: "MUAs" (made up acronyms)\n- No: "alias_that_is_clearly_way_too_long_to_be_useful_or_memorable"\n- If the alias has alternate meanings, e.g. "element", append the relevant domain's name, e.g. "element_mathematics" (or, for arbital domain pages, prepend e.g. "arbital_style_guideline").\n- Prefer single ("penguin") to plural version ("penguins"), if possible.\n\n## Text body\n\n### Summary\n\nYes: Put it at the top of the page \nYes: Not having a summary if the first paragraph is already a good summary.\nYes: "Paragraph long explanation summarizing the contents of the page..." \nYes: "Using [3w Markdown] as normal." \n[comment: Yes: "If the page has a vote, describe exactly what the vote is about."]\n\n### Body\nYes: Conversational, fun tone. \nYes: We as a personal pronoun. \nYes: Explaining things in whatever way works best. \nNo: I as a personal pronoun.\n\n**Length**\n\nMost Arbital pages are between one to five screens long. They are usually much shorter than Wikipedia pages. It's probably best to break very long pages into a few shorter pages, especially if they need to be used as requisites.\n\n### Links\n\nYes: Using a `[link]` when a concept is introduced or mentioned within a section. \nYes: Using a [ red link] when you want to indicate that there should be a page for that concept (with or without a title, i.e. `[page_title display text]` vs `[ display text]`). \nYes: [9p]. \nNo: "Using the `[same link]` in very close proximity to the `[same link]`." \nNo: Specifying the title of the page exactly: `[16t Style guidelines]`, instead just do `[16t]` \n\n### Headers\n\nYes: Capitalize first letter and no period at the end \nNo: Header for the opening section \nNo: "Period or other punctuation at the end."', metaText: '', isTextLoaded: 'true',
