Manual of style:
Coding
Don't use raw html breaks "<br>" when possible. It's almost always unnecessary in wiki format and it looks stylistically bad. For flow of text space as you normally would any essay or text document. For lists, indent with an asterix "*" to get an automatic indented bulletpoint and break. For example, the following raw code:
*''Item''': A
*'''Item''': B
*'''Item''': C
formats as
- Item: A
- Item: B
- Item: C
Also, <i> for italics and <b> for bold are unnecessary; surrounding the target text with two apostrophes on either side '' '' can be used for italics, and three a side ''' ''' for bold
Links and redirects
When linking inline text to an article of a different name, use the divider "|". For example, "[[160th Session|the 2009/2010 Session]]" will link to "160th Session" while displaying the 2009/2010 Session inline.
When redirecting a page to a target article, use the following code: #REDIRECT[[example article]] . See an example of a redirect page here.
When redirecting to a category, include a colon ":" at the start of the link so that the redirect page itself isn't included as part of the category.
Example: #REDIRECT[[:Category:PBC Past Pupils]]
Discussion pages
When replying on talk pages and discussion pages, indent your reply with a colon ":" and sign it with four tildes ~~~~, which automatically includes signature and date-stamp:
