First off, creating pages. You should read [[Scope of the guide]] to find out whether the page is appropriate for this guide. |
First off, naming pages: "The" should be left off the beginning of names. If you want to link to a place starting with "The", make the link [ [ Whatsit | The Whatsit ] ]. If a thing has multiple branches, the correct format is "Acme (Broad Street)". |

* Inline images are permitted by the configuration; however, please do not include anything other than small icons except where absolutely necessary; it helps keep the page load size down and removes distractions from the content.

Categories
- Category names should be plural; Restaurants, not "Restaurant".
- Important categories are: Pubs, Restaurants, Colleges, Societies, Off Licences.
Locales
- I initially copied the locales from http://www.earth.li/~kake/vegan-oxford/
- Important streets get their own locales, with the category of "Streets".
Addresses
- Oxford is implied, so should be left out.
Phone numbers
- 01865 is implied, so should be left out.
Punctuation
- Saint is abbreviated to St. with a full stop after it. This is to aid cross referencing between entries.
Images
- Inline images are permitted by the configuration; however, please do not include anything other than small icons except where absolutely necessary; it helps keep the page load size down and removes distractions from the content. By all means include links to photos.
