Dates

Links to dates before 2010 must be linked to the proper decade article followed by a # and the proper year. This will direct the user to the portion of the page for that year.

Full dates should be written in the American date format of "month day, year".

Example:

[[2010|January 1, 2010]]

Pluralized Articles

Some articles like Races are named in the pluralized format. When writing is it necessary to remove the pluralization for grammatical reasons.

Example:

[[Humans|Human]]

All branches of the United States Armed Forces are covered in the same article. When linking it is appropriate to add the correct branch to the link to that page.

Example:

[[United States Air Force]]
[[United States Armed Forces|United States Air Force]]
[[United States Navy]]
[[United States Armed Forces|United States Navy]]
[[United States Army]]
[[United States Armed Forces|United States Army]]
[[United States Marine Corps]]
[[United States Armed Forces|United States Marine Corps]]
