These guidelines are part of the English Sarkarverse's Manual of Style. Use common sense in applying them, as they will have occasional exceptions. Before making any edits to this page, please discuss the proposed changes on the Manual of Style talk page. |
The Manual of Style (often abbreviated MoS or MOS) is a style guide for all Sarkarverse articles. It helps editors write articles with consistent, clear, and precise language, layout, and formatting. The goal is to make Sarkarverse easier and more intuitive to use. Consistency in language, style, and formatting promotes clarity and cohesion. Writing should be clear and concise. Plain English works best; avoid ambiguity, jargon, and vague or unnecessarily complex wording.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the Sarkarverse Manual of Style is identical to the Wikipedia Manual of Style.
Over-linking
Generally a term should be linked once or twice (or maximum thrice if the article is very long). No term should be linked more than thrice in an article, regardless of the article's size or the term's importance.
Wikipedia-linking
In Sarkarverse we sometimes link words to articles on Wikipedia. Such links should only be to articles that are very significant in the current context. In general, do not link common words like English, United States, Life, Car, and so on.
