→Style: Guidelines on user vs person articles that have always been in effect but apparently not codified here. These were applied rigorously in the past; I'd rather not see it break down now.
* Program names (e.g. [[Doom Builder]]), mod names (e.g. [[Suspended in Dusk]]), episode names (e.g. [[Knee-Deep in the Dead]]), and map names (e.g. [[E1M8: Phobos Anomaly]]) are neither italicized nor quote-marked.
* Underlines are not used. They are equivalent to italics for handwriting, and no part of this wiki is handwritten.
===Referring to people===
* Do not link to a user's <tt>User:</tt> namespace article in the main article space. Instead, link to that person's "person" article in the main article space. For example, when referring to the author of the [[Eternity Engine]], link to [[James Haley (Quasar)]], not to [[User:Quasar]]. User pages are part of the "metadata" of the wiki and not part of the encyclopedic content; following this guideline helps maintain a strict semantic separation between the two areas of information. Additionally, information on a user page is not held to any standard of encyclopedic content, and is mostly reserved for editing by that user alone (it is considered rude to edit it without that user's permission). A person article, on the other hand, is held to the full standards applied to all main namespace articles.
* Do not redirect <tt>User:</tt> namespace articles to the main space, nor main space articles into the <tt>User:</tt> namespace, for the same reason.
===Spelling===
