Tardis talk:Manual of style

Spacing and formatting

I've started a section on this topic, having just had to remove a bunch of extra spaces from one article and a bunch of HTML coding from another. Feel free to add to it. 23skidoo 15:25, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Rebuttals and corrections

I'd like to suggest we set out some rules as to when and where thing such as rebuttals and stated corrections should be noted. On a number of occasions I've seen rebuttals given to statements in "behind the scenes" and "trivia" sections, when correctly they should only be used in the Discontinuity/Errors sections. And I've seen people make edits like "This is wrong, because so and so said such and such" instead of simply correcting the mistake. Thoughts? 23skidoo 17:21, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Heading capitalisation

This article's page title should properly be capitalized (Manual of Style), as "Manual of Style" is both a description and a proper name for a specific document (hence the correct capitalisation in "so this Manual of Style is here to set things straight"; see also the page capitalisation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style). However, since this isn't just an everyday header but the title of a rather important page, I'd rather one of the admins made that change than try it myself. (For what it's worth, I don't like the decision to use sentence case for headers instead of title case, but I accept that it's standard Wikipedia style and there must have been good reasons for that choice. However, I note that the TARDIS wiki specifies sentence case in its MoS but is inconsistent in applying that style throughout the wiki.)--Bedawyn 22:18, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Just noting: There is a Tardis:Manual_of_Style page, but it redirects to this one.--Bedawyn 00:46, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
