Note: This page is a work in progress. Suggestions and comments for setting Best Practices are welcome.
This page contains Best Practices as they apply to specific issues on the HoG wiki. Proposed changes to the Best Practices should be discussed on the talk page before being migrated here. Please note that all editors are expected to observe these guidelines.
Table Guidlines
Basic "righthand" rules:
- Please put each header and cell on its own row. This is mostly done to make it easier for new editors to add information to tables, particularly because the table is not visible in the Java interface while using the {{wt}} and {{wtc}} templates.
- When reformatting tables to use {{wt}} and {{wtc}} please try to preserve as much of the original formatting as is reasonably practicable.
- Headers should always be centered.
- Numbers and times should always be centered, even if they appear in the first column of a table.
- Text should generally be left justified, particularly when text appears in the first column, as it makes it much easier for readers to parse texts of different lengths.
- Exceptions: there are plenty. Use good judgment, and aim for ease of readability, then ease of editing on the backend.
Example:
{{wt}}

!width="525"|Information

What it looks like:
