In general, avoid the use of special characters (especially characters that are not commonly found on an English keyboard). If there is no loss of clarity (in the English context), Samskrta (Sanskrit) diacritical marks (ucis and nicis) may be omitted. So, for example, under most circumstances, it is acceptable and even preferable to write ''Samskrta'' rather than ''Saḿskrta''. | |||
Never include special characters in article titles; because article titles with special characters may be difficult for readers to find with the Sarkarverse search engine, commonly employed for navigation. In addition to facilitating ease of use on Sarkarverse, this policy also tends to enhance consistency of spelling (with all of the benefits that this entails). | |||

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. | In Sarkarverse we sometimes link words to articles on Wikipedia.
