I moved (renamed) the entries on the different types of cannons to singular form ([[Combustion cannon]], [[Hybrid cannon]] etc), it's standard in wikis and makes linking much easier. Edit: removed capitalization in the titles as well, should not be used unless neccessary (such as in person names) since wiki is picky about capitals. I put redirects in place. --[[User:GalFisk|GalFisk]] 18 October 2005 04:22 (CDT)

I moved (renamed) the entries on the different types of cannons to singular form (Combustion cannon, Hybrid cannon etc), it's standard in wikis and makes linking much easier. Edit: removed capitalization in the titles as well, should not be used unless neccessary (such as in person names) since wiki is picky about capitals. I put redirects in place. --GalFisk 18 October 2005 04:22 (CDT)

Formatting

Question: should the preferred formatting of lists be like that on the cannon pages

*item 1
*item 2
*etc

or the default one, like this

  • item 1
  • item 2
  • etc

The second one is more common, but the first one has precedence on this page. I prefer the second one since it's more integrated with the rest of the text (same font/size) and think the other should be reserved for ascii drawings and the like that needs a monospace font. It would be nice to have a rule either way though, have the pages edited to correspond to that rule, and so set a consistant basis for future articles. -- GalFisk 18 October 2005 09:04 (CDT)
