==Spacing and line breaks==

*Line breaks should be used to break up text into more digestible paragraphs. Too few breaks causes paragraphs to become excessively long and ~~impossible~~ to ~~read~~, but too many line breaks disrupts the flow of the text. The exact size a paragraph "should be" is subjective, but in general, a paragraph should be just long enough to develop an idea or point. One-sentence paragraphs should be used sparingly.

*Line breaks should be used to break up text into more digestible paragraphs. Too few breaks causes paragraphs to become excessively long and difficult to parse, but too many line breaks disrupts the flow of the text. The exact size a paragraph "should be" is subjective, but in general, a paragraph should be just long enough to develop an idea or point and are usually at least two sentences long, often 3–5 sentences long. One-sentence paragraphs should be used sparingly.

*If a topic would require a lot of short paragraphs, such as describing an [[upgrade]] that has many distinct effects, use a bullet-point list instead of a paragraph. Bullet-point lists in the lede are acceptable.

*Don't insert more empty space between paragraphs. In the source editor, a paragraph break is created by inserting ~~two~~ line ~~breaks~~, but ~~using~~ more than ~~two breaks~~ creates a much larger gap between paragraphs that is unnecessary.

*Don't insert more empty space between paragraphs. In the source editor, a paragraph break is created by inserting one blank line between paragraphs, but inserting more than one blank line creates a much larger gap between paragraphs that is unnecessary.
