Just use common sense and your best English.

Failing the above, try Wikipedia's Manual of Style.

Elite Wiki and Wikipedia

Some differences between Elite Wiki and Wikipedia:

  • There are no references on Elite Wiki. Use <small> ... </small> tags to set references apart from regular article content
  • It is not mandatory to write the article subject in boldface letters at the first mention in the article, though for the sake of clarity and article intent, it is encouraged.
  • Capitals are frequently used in titles and headers indiscriminately, not just for proper nouns, though with restraint a sentence read less like advertisement if only the first word is capitalised.
  • Elite Wiki uses English English on all articles, as opposed to American English
