: The author of the guide has settled on a name. In consultation with [[User:Chris Halsky]] I've moved the "Get all Empires to 5.0" page to "The Ploy" page. [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 18:14, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
== Style and conventions ==
They only exist in the form of tribal knowledge. Take a look at the pages I've edited: [[Hacking]] or [[Smash and Grab]]. Their style is:
* lots of lists, tables and images
* I express an idea in as few words as possible
* EVE Online terms and phrases that could potentially link to a Wiki page are Capitalized
This may not be to your liking and also goes against the [[UniWiki:Manual of Style/Capital letters]]. However, I'm convinced making EVE Online terms stand out from other words in a sentence is a good pedagogical decision.

== Race not Empire ==
The word "Race" not "Empire" is a word that collectively refers to the Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Jove, and Minmatar.
To reduce the confusion, I'll spell all four playable races in the introduction of the guide.

: Empire is correct. See for example the [https://imgur.com/kTovwpH.png character creation screen]. [[User:General Rambling|General Rambling]] ([[User talk:General Rambling|talk]]) 16:39, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
:: You are absolutely right and I thought so too, but when I search the internet for "EVE Online Empire" I can find no mention of Empires. However, what I can find is [https://community.eveonline.com/backstory/races/ Races of New Eden] when I search for "EVE Online Races". The same applies for this Wiki: there are [[Races]] but no [[Empires]]. Then again the term empires is prominently displayed on the [[Factions#Empires]]. I'll continue to use the the word Empire. Thank you so much :) [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 17:30, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
