Binray's Scratch Wiki:Manual of Style

A manual of style (MOS or MoS) is a document made by publisher (typically a publishing entity) to make sure that all of their writers (in our case users) are working to a singular standard to avoid clutter and difference between all written works. In our case, it is particularly necessary to ensure that our articles are not confusingly diverse among other issues. A manual of style should exactly answer a number of questions, such as:
* How should we lead articles?
* What date format shall we use?
* What's the policy for uploading images?
* What do you do if two articles have the same name?
The manual of style is decided by Binray's Scratch Wiki staff, so it may not conform to one's sense of proper English, which is important to note when writing an article for BSW. In shorter terms, consult the manual for questions! Think of the manual of style as a sort of constitution for Binray's Scratch Wiki article writing. It is usually the final word in any edit disputes.
Now, all these serious words should not create a discouraging tone. After all, rule 5 outlaws personal attacks. Quality standards are to be met, but it should not be a pressure against new editors. Just make sure to review the manual of style before beginning your editing journey, and you'll be fine.
