Folgerpedia:Manual of Style

In general, follow Wikipedia's Manual of Style when creating articles. Here are some guidelines:

• Remember that your article is about the named topic as it relates to the Folger and the Folger collection
• Use sentence case for article titles and headings (unless the heading or article title is, itself, the title of something, e.g. "Manual of Style")
• Begin each article with a sentence or two summarizing the topic (the "Lead section")
• Use level 2 headings for subsections within the article (four or more level 2 headings automatically create a table of contents)
• Use level 3 headings for subsections that will not display in a table of contents (UPDATE: currently, all headings display in the Table of Contents, and we might keep it that way, using tags around specific headings to keep them from displaying.)
• Create articles rather than uploading existing documents (unless there's a reason to keep the original formatting, e.g. a form that needs to be filled in by hand)
