élite vs. Elite vs. Elite

The first, with the acute diacritic on the first "e", refers to a superior (group of) person(s). This may be written with an initial lower-case "e".

The second, without the acute diacritic on the first "E", refers to the GalCop Combat-Rating, and is always written with at least an initial capital, as defined in the original, 1984 The Space Trader's Flight Training Manual (SBG38/B1), pp. 9 - 10.

Since there is also a third possible meaning within this present context, it is suggested that all references to the Elite simulator (whether IRL or in-universe, or however else it might be interpreted) should be italicised, and also always written with an initial capital, as the proper brand-name of the simulator. It is recommended that this distinction be applied to all other proper brand-names and their abbreviations as well: Frontier: Elite 2 (FE2), Frontier: First Encounters (FFE), ArcElite, Elite Plus, Elite -- The New Kind (E-TNK), Oolite, Elite: Dangerous (E:D), etc.

It is recommended that these distinctions be included in the Elite Wiki's Manual of Style.

Ulite Namespace

Hi Folks, I've moved all the Ulite pages to be prefixed with Ulite. I've copied the convention used by this category.... http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Category:Oolite_JavaScript_Reference

Since it's fairly obscure stuff, I didn't think it was fair to take titles such as "Documentation" and "Overview". Some of the other pages had (Ulite) at the end of them. --Psylem 14:45, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Is this supposed to be there?

Is this supposed to be there? or is this more spam? doesn't sound like a style manual to me!

lukjad007 Agreed. This looks more like an add then a manual on how stuff should be written.

Diederick agrees as well. Who wrote the original style manual? Can (s)he confirm this is spam?
