==Conventions==
+
 
+
===Article Names===
+
 
+
====Ship Articles====
+
 
+
Individual ships are to be named where appropriate with the [[Prefix|prefix]] first (e.g. [[HMS]]), then the ship name, and then the year of launch in brackets.
+
 
+
'''Example''': [[HMS Dreadnought (1906)]]
+
 
+
====Ship Class Articles====
+
 
+
Ship class pages are created by ignoring the prefix (classes are not referred to as the ''USS Nevada Class''), using the name of the lead ship of the class, followed by the word class, and then the year of launch for the earliest vessel to be launched in brackets.
+
 
+
'''Example''': [[Danton Class (1909)]]
+
 
+
===Ship Names===
+
 
+
Convention has it that ship names need to be highlighted in some way, and at Tone's Fighting Ships they are to be ''italicised''.  This applies to every ship name in every article.  It does not however, apply to article titles.  The prefix title (e.g. HIJMS) should not be highlighted in any way.
+
 
+
===Article Leaders===
+
 
+
At the start of every article, the first mention of the subject of the article should be entered in '''bold'''; for example at the top of this page '''Editing Guide''' has been so highlighted.
+
 
+
====Ship Names====
+
 
+
Ship names should be in bold - as well as in italics.  The prefix will also be in bold.
+
 
+
'''Example''': '''SMS ''Bayern'''''
+
 
+
====Personalities====
+
 
+
With persons who are the subject of an article (for the most part naval men), their rank and title should not be highlighted.  If they are a member of the nobility (Earl, Marchesa, Graf) and it is part of their name, then it should be entered in bold along with the full name of the subject.
+
 
+
'''Example''': Admiral of the Fleet '''John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Kellicoe'''
