| I have edited this page in order to merge the original editing_rules page to the "Editing Policy" section here, as per Eric H.'s suggestion. --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/30 14:56// |

| Adenda: Well, for some reason or another, my hour's worth of work is not appearing on the page when I save the edit. I see it in the editor, but not on the article page. *tired* Quitting for now. :( --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/30 15:05// |

| The way in which you added that footnote put the parser on the wrong foot :-) \\ Look at how I fixed that footnote. Powerful syntax. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/30 15:19// |

| >Back when I used to smoke and drink, I used to pay powerful sin taxes. HA! :-P Humor is a good thing. Yes, footnote syntax very cool. It even shows when you hover over the number. Thanks, Eric. G'night... --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/30 19:07// |

| Shouldn't the Style Guide also be signed by its author? [[wiki:user:kikinovak|Niki Kovacs]] Tue Sep 4 07:14:48 CEST 2012 |

| >Most Slackdocs documentation, if not all, has been written by staff. Personally, I don't care about author attribution on these "rules and regs" type articles. Many of the articles, this one for instance, have numerous contributors. Just my thoughts. :-) --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/09/04 10:45// |

| "Follow proper capitalization rules for words in titles and headings." Aren't we being pedantic? Personally, I find this a little too fussy and unnecessary. A Pain In The Arse, or a Pain in the Arse. --- //[[wiki:user:brianl|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/09/08 06:01// |

| >Actually, proper capitalization is an important part of any written language, in my opinion, and should be respected. A site with poor examples of writing and proper use of language by the staff members doesn't set much of an example for those utilizing the site, I wouldn't think. By the way, neither of your examples above are properly capitalized were they to be used as titles. Minor words such as "in" and "the" should not be capitalized. I feel we should take pride in how language is used on this site, hence the style guidelines. --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/09/08 16:07// |

| I had the same thought about that. Capitalizing every word is typical US-english style. We are trying to not just cater to the US population, remember? I personally think capitalizing every word is ugly. Try capitalizing a whole sentence... it looks awful. \\ Nevertheless, from the point of view of "unified look and feel" I can understand why you would want all headers capitalized. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/09/08 06:59// |
