A style guide is used to ensure that all articles and pages on the wiki are kept up to a certain code of writing. This involves date formatting, perspective formatting and page layout. This guide should be the "go-to" for formatting new pages and rewriting old ones.

American and British English differences
The differences between American and British English is not huge but should still be looked at. When in doubt, the American English variations should be favored, except for the below.

Date Formatting
Dates, if used, should be abbreviated if possible. The abbreviated date should be in the format: YYYY-MM-DD, which is the ISO 8601 standard for writing dates.

Examples:

2012-08-23

2012-09-08

If dates should be written out, they should use the format of: ,  

Examples:

Monday, 24 September 2012

Sunday, 8 November 2003
