====Body Formatting====
Make sure there are '''two spaces''' between the "data heading" and the article body, and '''one space''' between the article body and the "references" section.

===Article Titles===
Because of the way that links are handled with wikimedia software, an arbitrary method developed that has become standard. In most cases, all words in a title should be capitalized, with the following exceptions:
* "no" (Japanese), "and", "the", "of" and any other particles should not be capitalized.
* province, han, district, clan, and castle should not be capitalized.
* Generally, "shrine", "temple", and "city" should not be used in a title, except where it is standard english usage. (i.e. "Sakai" rather than "Sakai city", but "Ise shrine" rather than "Ise"). If they are used, do not capitalize.
*Do not include "long vowel sounds" in the article titles: ''Example: Môri Motonari'', only include them within the text.

====Capitalization in Article Titles/Links====
The capitalization in the samuraiwiki is a bit quirky; it has grown with the wiki, however it is important to follow the formats:
*The following words are '''not''' capitalized in links:
** castle i.e. [[Saiki castle]]
** province i.e. [[Musashi province]]
** han i.e. [[Hiroshima han]]
** clan i.e. [[Maeda clan]]
* The following words '''are''' capitalized in links:
** Affair i.e. [[Icarus Affair]]
** Incident i.e. [[Teradaya Incident]]
** Period i.e. [[Edo Period]]
** Rebellion i.e. [[Kinmon Rebellion]]
** Shogunate i.e. [[Ashikaga Shogunate]]
** War i.e. [[Boshin War]]
** Ryu i.e. [[Araki Ryu]]
