Forums: Index → Community Proposal → An important question about consistency formatting

I see a lot of inconsistent formatting on the wiki. I'm curious as to wich format we are sticking too with these two questions.

1. In battles, when we list the belligerents. Should we use point form for each faction? or should we not use point form. See the first two examples on the right.

2. In battles, when we list the belligerents. Should we show the short form of a faction, or the full name. I see UNSC being used sometimes, and United Nations Space Command being used in other times. Which one should we use? See the third example.

Whichever one we use, I'll be happy to take the time to go though each article and keep the format consistent. Which formats are we choosing?

I personally prefer the first format. --NightHammer^(talk)^(contribs) 08:45, 26 August 2016 (EDT)

Sorry, I didn't clarify that well xD. It's two separate questions. Point form for each belligerent or no point form for each belligerent (*UNSC or UNSC)? Short form for each belligerent or full name for each belligerent(UNSC or United Nations Space Command)?

If by first form you mean the first example I provided, I like that one too since it's more clear.Editorguy (talk) 08:52, 26 August 2016 (EDT)
