Text
No modification to the default text settings should ever be made. The wiki software has been programmed to automatically use the Helvetica font. Font size will never have to be modified by contributors because the particular type of entries that you will be assigned to create will not require a variety of fonts. The wiki has been programmed to be consistent, which contributes positively toward its air of authority.
Date
The provision of dates is commonplace in the wiki - therefore it is important that they be provided in a consistent format. All recorded dates will assume this format: Day (as a number) Month (capitalized and not abbreviated) Year (as a number), with no punctuation.
Example: 31 July 2014
If the day of the week is to be included, it is to be placed before the date and separated by a comma.
Example: Thursday, 31 July 2014
Numbers
All numbers should be spelled out, except for dates (as mentioned above).
