Article formatting

## General notes and tips

* Use American English instead of British English. *Titanfall* is a franchise by American studio Respawn, and U.S. viewers make up over half of our total viewers.
* The wiki should follow sentence case capitalization as a whole: this includes titles, section headers, and within bodies of text. The only things that should be capitalized are proper nouns—for both out-of-universe and in-universe subjects—which include locations, characters, weapons, groups, events, missions, etc.
	+ Use sentence casing when specifically referring to a general category as a whole, such as burn cards, weapons, abilities, attachments, ordnance, cosmetics, kits, boosts, and similar categories.
		- Conversely, use title case when referring to each individual subject for each of these categories.
	+ A common exception for this rule is that Pilots, Titans, and Legends are *always* capitalized, as well as most other combatants. Obviously, in terms of something like an aircraft pilot, it would be lowercased.
		- ✔ The **Multi-Target Missile System** is a Titan ordnance in *Titanfall* and a Titan offensive ability in *Titanfall 2*.
		- ✘ The **multi-target missile system** is a Titan Ordnance in *Titanfall* and a Titan Offensive Ability in *Titanfall 2*.
		- ✔ **Enhanced Parkour Kit** is a tier 1 Pilot kit in *Titanfall*.
		- ✘ **Enhanced parkour kit** is a Tier 1 Pilot Kit in *Titanfall*.
		- ✔ **Most Wanted List** is a burn card in *Titanfall*.
		- ✘ **Most wanted list** is a Burn Card in *Titanfall*.
		- ✔ Fluorescent Tech is a Legend skin for Valkyrie.
		- ✘ Fluorescent tech is a legend Skin for Valkyrie.
		- ✔ The Calm Waters banner frame can be unlocked with 1,200 crafting metals.
		- ✘ The calm waters Banner Frame can be unlocked with 1,200 Crafting Metals.
* Use spaces to separate heading and list wikitext markup within the source editor. I'd highly recommend using the source editor whenever editing. A helpful page for more formatting information on wikitext can be found here.
	+ `<h1>` headings, or `= Heading =` in wikitext, have no reason to ever be used. I've seen these used around the wiki quite a bit, and should be changed to the proper `== Header ==` immediately.
	+ ✔ `== Personality and traits ==`
	+ ✘ `==Personality and Traits==`
	+ ✔ `* Item 1`, `# Item 2`
	+ ✘ `*Item 1`, `#Item 2`
* Sections should be separated by *only* 2 newlines. You can see what this means in the guide above.
* Ranks (Private, Lieutenant, Sergeant, Commander, etc.) and other positions (Doctor, etc.) should *never* be included in character titles. Instead, they should just be `Given name "Alias" Surname` at most. `"Alias"`, when applicable, should refer to that character's most known alias, codename, or nickname, and may even include a short variation, such as Isaiah "Zaia" Williams or Anastasia "Stay" Oliveira. Any aliases and nicknames should instead be used as redirects to the target page.
	+ Additionally, be sure to utilize redirects when linking to an article. For example, when linking to Octane, just type `[[Octane]]` instead of typing out `[[Octavio "Octane" Silva|Octane]]`. This is true for virtually any article that has a proper redirect; using `[[Kraber]]` is better than `[[Kraber-AP Sniper|Kraber]]`.
* Each article should follow the same TOC (table of contents) format in accordance to its broad parent category, i.e. characters, locations, weapons, abilities, etc. Many of these headings are mandatory and should follow the same order, no matter what number of games they appear in. For example, even though the Prowler Burst PDW only appears in *Apex Legends*, the `*Apex Legends*` heading should be on the article regardless. A list of article formatting examples, including the TOC, wikitext, and respective templates, can be found below.
* Media titles, such as video games, books, comics, video series, etc., should *always* be *italicized*.
* Campaign missions, quests, and Apex Chronicles should *always* be in "quotation marks".
