Blooncyclopedia:Style guide: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

*If an article links to another article with a title that uses a different spelling standard, the link text should ''not'' be changed to match. For example, [[Large Calibre (BTD6)]] should ''not'' render links to [[Town Center]] as "Town Centre".

*Note that this only applies to spelling. [[Blooncyclopedia:Dates and timestamps|Dates and timestamps]] should always be formatted as DD/MM/YYYY regardless of the spelling standard used.

==Symbols==

{{hat|Note: In the visual editor, these symbols can be inserted from the symbols toolbar by clicking on the "Ω" button. In the source editor, they can be inserted from the "special characters" tab.}}

*Use an unspaced en dash (<code>–</code>) instead of a hyphen for ranges of numbers, ranges of dates, or comparing two numbers (such as score tallies).

*Use a multiplication sign (<code>×</code>) instead of a letter "x" for multiplication or for quantities in lists of numbers.
