This page will gather some guidelines about styling while editing.
Capitalization
Capitalization of Software projects, protocols and apps
Capitalization of certain words should be consistent. Here are some examples of Fediverse projects:
| First letter in upper case | CamelCase | all lower case | special |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
Capitalization of page titles
Applies to everything that has a page, so including files, templates, categories...
Generally each page title should (also has to) start with an uppercase letter. After that it should be capitalized like a sentence, so almost only words like the ones above should be capitalized.
A namespace is not part of the page title and also has to be capitalized. So an example for a category's full page name would be Category:Example category name about a Fediverse topic.
Unfortunately a lot of pages were created without following this guideline in the past. Please don't rename pages yourself, because that would break every time the page is linked to or similar. Instead let User:Paula know, so she will fix it.
Naming scheme
What is Fediverse project?, e.g. What is Mastodon? is the scheme for basic guides on Fediverse projects.File:Fediverse project logo.svg, e.g.

is the logo in white (here with a black background).Fediverse project full logo.svg, e.g.
is a long version of the official logo in color if that exists.
Headlines
Usually we use ==Headline== for the largest headline in an article and then add on = for each level below. In cases where it's needed another level =Headline= can be added above.
Order of projects in lists and tables
The order of Fediverse projects in lists and tables should follow the order in Comparison of Fediverse software.
