==Conventions==
+
 
+
===Article Names===
+
 
+
====Ship Articles====
+
 
+
Individual ships are to be named where appropriate with the prefix first (e.g. H.M.S.), then the ship name, and then the year of launch in brackets.
+
 
+
'''Example''': [[H.M.S. Dreadnought (1906)]]
+
 
+
====Ship Class Articles====
+
 
+
Ship class pages are created by ignoring the prefix (classes are not referred to as the "U.S.S. ''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 of the class 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.
+
 
+
===Class Names===
+
Conventions regarding the style of class names is less well documented.  On "Tone's Fighting Ships" the class name is to be italicised just like the ship name.  "Class" ought to be capitalised at the beginning.
+
 
+
'''Example''': [[Bellerophon Class (1907)|''Bellerophon'' Class]].
+
 
+
===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''': '''S.M.S. ''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.
+
 
+
'''Example''': Admiral of the Fleet '''John Rushworth Jellicoe''', 1st Earl Jellicoe
