The TrainStation Wiki Style Guide helps make this site easier to read, easier to use, easier to write, easier to edit, and easier to maintain. Everyone who contributes to the TS Wiki should be familiar with this guide. Following the rules and guidelines here will help keep the site looking consistent.

Consistency
Consistency is the most important part of creating pages and editing pages on TrainStation Wiki (abbreviation: TS Wiki). When pages have a consistent appearance, users can find the information they need quickly and easily.

Use source editor
Always use the source editor when creating or editing pages on TS Wiki. The source editor allows users complete control over formatting. This is the only way to accomplish total consistency, since the VisualEditor lacks some important capabilities that are available only in the source editor.

Users who are new to the source editor should become familiar with the following pages before editing pages on TS Wiki:
 * PAGE #1
 * PAGE #2
 * PAGE #3

Use standard templates
Most of the pages on TS Wiki use one or more templates to display their data. xxx THIS SECTION IS INCOMPLETE. xxx

General rules
Most of the time, TS Wiki follows the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (abbreviation: W:MOS). In some places, the TS Wiki Community have decided that they prefer different formatting. All of these differences appear in this style guide. Just remember:
 * When a TS Wiki rule conflicts with a W:MOS rule, use the TS Wiki rule.
 * When in doubt, use the W:MOS rule.

Official language
The official language of TS Wiki is US English. This means:
 * Page titles should use US English wording and spelling, except when the game uses a different spelling.
 * Article text should use US English wording and spelling, except when the game uses a different spelling.
 * Numbers always should be formatted in US English style:
 * Digit grouping should be with commas (ex: 123,456,789).
 * Decimal points should be periods (full stops) (ex: 1,234.56).

Spelling conflicts
Spelling rule #1: Game spelling always has priority over the site's official language. Spelling rule #2: Game spelling always has priority over the site's official language.

Many words and names in TrainStation use UK English spellings. This is because Pixel Federation is based in Bratislava, Slovakia, and Slovakians tend to use UK English spellings for many words. For example, TS Wiki includes pages named Neighbours and Colourful Eggs, because the game uses these spellings.

Note: Use the game's spelling only when referring to a specific game item or game concept. For example, an article referring to a rainbow would use the spelling "colorful".
