Hi there!

I have an idea about a Manual of Style that all editors of the Hay Day Wiki can use as a guide. I found that the following issues keep coming up:


 * Should we use British English or American English?


 * Note: Supercell uses both; "neighborhoods" is American English and "catalogue" is British English.


 * Many people do not know how to set up a page correctly.


 * Should I say "at Level X", "on Level X", "at level X"...?


 * I think "on Level X" is correct, since "Level X" is a name.


 * Many people use links ( Foo ) instead of bolding ( Foo ) on the lead section of a page.


 * Many people do not know what a lead section is. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section)


 * We're still having problems on the whole Neutral Point of View thing.


 * There aren't any guides to making templates, using templates, doing basic coding, or how to insert images properly.


 * The whole "over information on pages" thing has still not been resolved (see Thread:7404 and an archive of a conversation about this issue). As can be seen on pages (such as Cow), both GorillaMan's layout and the old layout are used on the same page. The main issue is between having short pages that use GorillaMan's layout or pages that could be long but don't have enough information to have anything more than the infobox (such as Tuxedo).

I'm planning to make a Manual of Style to help editors know how to set up certain pages as well as to help them with the issues above as well.
