Apart from checking what Grammarly suggests or does, feel free to go on. Some of the FlightGear wiki users sometimes use all lowercase, odd punctuation, etc. In addition, the [[FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] was not around until 2014, and I am certain most users are still oblivious to its existence.

I have added the above welcome template to all user discussion pages of users having registered after April this year, in the hope that more of the users will understand how a wiki using MediaWiki typically works, and make them aware of the style guide (which I believe might be loosely based on the style guide of the English Wikipedia). Some of us have looked into having it added automatically to discussion pages of new users and adding it to all existing user discussion pages, similar to how they are used on some language editions of Wikipedia. See also [[FlightGear wiki:Village pump#Welcoming template]] ([http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=FlightGear_wiki:Village_pump&oldid=119685#Welcoming_template permalink]). | I have added the above welcome template to all user discussion pages of users having registered after April this year, in the hope that more of the users will understand how a wiki using MediaWiki typically works, and make them aware of the style guide (which I believe might be loosely based on the style guide of the English Wikipedia).

:@[[User talk:Johan G]] Thank you for the advice! Sorry about removing the white spaces from the equals. Will not do that again, as I now see clealy that it confuses other readers. --[[User:Axlerate|Axlerate]] ([[User talk:Axlerate|talk]]) 05:10, 7 September 2019 (EDT) | |||
