== Quick Tips ==



The tips in this section and the printable quick reference card to the right contain some of the critical parts of these guidelines, but please read through this Wiki page for full details.

* The tone should be informative and semi-professional. Use third person (e.g. the player, they) in the opening of an article. You can use second person in later paragraphs or sentences (like this one), but never write in the first person.

* The length of the page or section should be as long as needed but no longer; be informative and concise.

* Use text formatting (e.g., bold, italics) sparingly. Do not use colored text or text decorations (e.g., strikethrough, overline, underline).

* Use American English grammar and spelling, with the exception of "grey". Write in complete sentences unless in a table. Use the singular third-person pronoun "they" instead of alternatives such as "he/she". Capitalize Habitica terms that have a special meaning in the context of Habitica (e.g., XP, Dailies, Tavern).

* Add relevant internal and external links to the article.

* Avoid spoiling information about upcoming changes, additions, or events; if spoiling a feature that is already implemented, use the spoiler template.

* Add images if they are useful in the context of the article; search for the image you need in Special:NewFiles and in the various image categories before adding it to avoid duplicates. When updating an existing image, upload it as a new version of the same file instead of as a new image.

* Add categories to articles if an obvious/useful category is missing. Check a category's page for information before adding it to pages, and refrain from creating categories that are not in use.

* Include an informative and accurate edit summary whenever you make edits. This helps other editors check your work.

* Only rename a page if absolutely necessary; if you do, use WhatLinksHere to fix links to the page.


 * If you believe a page needs to be deleted, go to Classic Editor -> Source and enter     at the top of the page; please include the reason for deletion.

* Join the Wizards of the Wiki guild. Post there when you have questions. Discuss potential large changes there before making them.
