| | The '''UniWiki Manual of Style''' (abbreviated as '''UMoS''' or simply '''MoS''') is the [[Wikipedia:Style guide|style manual]] for all UniWiki articles. This primary page of the guideline covers certain topics (e.g., punctuation) in detail and summarizes the key points of other topics. See [[#Specific guidelines|Specific guidelines]] for additional information about specific topics. |
| The '''UniWiki Manual of Style''' (abbreviated as '''UMoS''' or simply '''MoS''') is the [[Wikipedia:Style guide|style manual]] for all UniWiki articles. This primary page of the guideline covers certain topics (e.g., punctuation) in detail and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Summary style|summarizes]] the key points of other topics. The detail pages, which are cross-referenced here and linked by this page's menu or listed at [[UniWiki:Manual of Style/Contents]], provide specific guidance on those topics. If any contradiction arises, ''this page has precedence'' over all detail pages of the guideline. | |

|
| Much of this manual has been adapted from Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. While care has been taken to adapt as many relevant sections as possible, any topics not covered here can most likely be found there, and interested editors are encouraged to refer to both the UMoS and Wikipedia's MoS for the most comprehensive instruction.
| | The UniWiki Manual of Style presents the UniWiki's house style. The goal is to make using the UniWiki easier and more intuitive by promoting clarity and cohesion, while helping editors write articles with consistent and precise language, layout, and formatting. [[Wikipedia:Plain English|Plain English]] works best. Avoid ambiguity and vague or unnecessarily complex wording. Any new content added to the body of this page should directly address a style issue that has occurred in a significant number of instances. |

|
| Further, this page and any UniWiki pages linked here serve ''only'' as a style manual. For all other guidelines, such as summary style and editing, the UniWiki defers to those [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:List of guidelines|guidelines]] set forth by [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], both because it has set a standard of excellence that the UniWiki seeks to emulate, and because to develop UniWiki-specific guidelines of a similar caliber would be an unrealistic goal, given the relatively small number of Wiki Curators.
| | Style and formatting should be consistent throughout the UniWiki. Where more than one style is acceptable, editors should not change an article from one of those styles to another without a good reason. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor. If a style or similar debate becomes intractable, refer the issue to the [[Wiki Department|Wiki Manager]]. |

| Style and formatting should be consistent throughout the UniWiki.

[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Edit warring|Edit warring]] over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.
