In order to make things easier to navigate (and edit), Lexicanum has a general formatting "style" that should be followed when editing articles. Below are the basic guidelines.
==Naming Conventions==
===Singular v. Plural===
In general, all articles should be named with the singular form of the topic, so '''Space Marine''' is preferred to '''Space Marines'''. However, the plural form may be used if the singular form is rarely (or never) encountered, such as with most Space Marine chapters. On the other hand, [[Categories]] are generally named in the plural form.
===Squads and Models===
The best way to create articles for units in the game is to name them by what they come under in the codex. For instance, Imperial Guard Veterans would be tempting to call Veterans, when in actual fact that refers to the single model in the Hardened Veteran squad. Therefore, the name for the Hardened Veterans is the Hardened Veteran squad. Note that in the Imperial Guard, a squad is made of 10 men/ogryns/ratlings etc. while platoons are made up of squads and where there is only a couple of units (single figures) they are named by their singular name, such as Techpriest Enginseer. Also note that 'squad' and 'platoon' are in lower case as they are not actually part of the name.
Models themselves will be contained within the squad/platoon etc. article with a section of their own, for example Terminator would be part of Terminator squad.
