Hi.gher. Space:Terminology guidelines (page does not exist)
From Hi.gher. Space
The following are terminology guidelines for articles on HDDB.
- Use of bold text
- The title of an article should occur, literally or slightly altered, in the first sentence of the article in bold text.
- Bold text can be used thereafter to indicate emphasis. Do not use italic text for emphasis.
- Use of links
- All terms in an article which either already have or probably should have an article on HDDB should be made into a link in the first instance it appears after the bolded form of the title. Should the only occurance(s) of a particular term be inside the bolded form of the title, it should be linked in that location.
- Lists of links within an article should always be linked, regardless of whether there is already a link earlier in the article.
- Use of italic text
- Italic text should be used to indicate a term which is described in the same article as the italicized term. The term should be italicized only in the first sentence of, or the sentence immediately before, its description.
- Piping links
- In general, links should not be piped, unless you are linking to a page not in the main namespace, or you are linking to an article from an acronym.
- The main other use of piped links is to link to an article containing further information about a topic from relevant text.
