Defer questions of style to Style and How-to Directory.

Article Names

Here are some guidelines for general pages:

• Wikipedia's naming conventions
• Wikipedia's disambiguation page

As a game, Spiral Knights has its own special names, so the Wikipedia guidelines will not always be appropriate.

File Names

Uploaded files should be named clearly and plainly. All images should have the appropriate image tag included in the file description. The preferred image format is PNG. For images created by the Spiral Knights community, please follow the following naming conventions:

• Crafting-Item Name.png - Used for crafting item icons
• Equipment-Item Name icon.png - Used for equipment item icons (armor, helmets, shields, weapons)
• Equipment-Item Name Stats.png- Used for equipment stats (armor, helmets, shields, weapons)
• Item Name-Equipped.png - Used for equipped items (armor, helmets, shields, weapons)
• Monster-Monster Name.png - Used for monsters (128x128px)
