==Style== | |||
Some specific rules on style (how to write pages): | |||
;Don't Repeat the Page Title | |||
:The page title is automatically displayed at the top of the page (effectively as a level one header). Hence the title should not be repeated at the beginning of the page text. | |||
;Don't use First or Second Person | |||
:Don't be chatty. Don't talk about "I" or "you". Just present the info in straightforward, concise fashion from the third person. Does this make it hard to write tutorials? Yes. Don't write tutorials. We already have enough. | |||
