Word/Sentence Structure

I added this section to list a few guidelines regarding how wording, sentence structure, and tense should be handled. We need a uniform standard throughout and hopefully this will minimize the number of edits we will have to do. The first one that came to mind was "possessive determiners". I believe it is proper to leave these out and leaves a more professional and clean feel to the writing. Thoughts? If anybody has any more in the category they want to add...go for it.

I suggest a standard that the player manipulates the device and game, but it's a Blockhead that actually takes actions within the game. It's easy to write that "you" carry or craft something, but it's actually the Blockhead being controlled that does it. --McClaw (talk) 09:49, 16 February 2013 (MST)
I agree. This sort of thing would refer to writing in a third person tense rather than using second tense pronouns. Cdrras (talk)|
I'm with these guidelines emerging from the community as they are. Thank you Cdrras and McClaw for all the thought and effort you're putting into this wiki!--MintYogi (Admin) (talk) 22:02, 17 February 2013 (MST)
You're welcome! Anytime. It is great to see it coming together and even better seeing a few more users contributing. I can only do so much in the time I have, but I like to contribute where I can. Cdrras (talk) 17:27, 18 February 2013 (MST)

Why use start case?

Why does this wiki use "start case" for page titles, image captions, and section titles? It seems really odd. --Abcboy (talk) 15:16, 12 April 2013 (MDT)

Image standards

This might be a good page for specifying the preferred dimensions, formats, files sizes, and naming conventions for images. Particularly the icons, reference pics, and achievement icons. --McClaw (talk) 09:18, 11 October 2013 (MDT)
