* Consistent use of the ''straight'' [[apostrophe]] ({{xt| {{big|'}} }}) is recommended, as opposed to the ''curly'' apostrophe ({{!xt| {{big|‘ ’}} }}). For details and reasons, see {{section link||Quotation marks}}, below.

* Consistent use of the ''straight'' [[Wikipedia:Apostrophe|apostrophe]] ({{xt| <big>'</big> }}) is recommended, as opposed to the ''curly'' apostrophe ({{!xt| <big>‘ ’</big> }}). For details and reasons, see {{section link||Quotation marks}}, below.

*Where an apostrophe might otherwise be misinterpreted as Wiki markup, use the ~~templates {{tn|'}}, {{tn|`}}, and {{tn|'s}}, or use~~ {{~~xtag~~|nowiki}} tags, or use <code>&apos;</code> entity.

*Where an apostrophe might otherwise be misinterpreted as Wiki markup, use the {{tag|nowiki}} tags, or use <code>&apos;</code> entity.

*Foreign characters that resemble apostrophes, such as transliterated Arabic [[ayin]] ({{xt| {{big|ʿ}} }}) and [[aleph|alif]] ({{xt| {{big|ʾ}} }}), are represented by their correct Unicode characters (that is, U+02BF <small>MODIFIER LETTER LEFT HALF RING</small> and U+02BE <small>MODIFIER LETTER RIGHT HALF RING</small> respectively), despite possible display problems. If this is not feasible, use a straight apostrophe instead.

*For usage of the possessive apostrophe, see {{section link||Possessives}}, below.

*For a thorough treatment of all uses of the apostrophe (possessive, elision, formation of certain plurals, specific foreign-language issues) see the article [[Apostrophe]].
