== External links ==
I think this section needs improvement as this article clearly breaks its own rules.  It also needs clarity as to how to reference the external links within the main text.  Maybe this should be shifted to be a recommendation, rather than a hard rule, as not many pages on the FlightGear wiki appear to follow this rule.  [[User:Bugman|Bugman]] ([[User talk:Bugman|talk]]) 11:12, 22 September 2015 (EDT)

Revision as of 15:12, 22 September 2015

Some suggested changes

Have read through FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style#Article titles, headings, and sections (perm) and have the following suggestions:

Section Suggested changes Comments from other users
Section organization (perm)
  • lead section → first section
  • a navigable table of contents → a table of contents with links to the sections
  • The section could mention a bit less about formatting
Section headings (perm)
  • Spaces between the equal signs and the heading text are optional → Spaces between the equal signs and the heading text are recommended but optional

Will read some more further on.

"FlightGear wiki:Style guide" should be merged here

FlightGear wiki:Style guide never got completed and predates FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style, that have replace it and should be used instead.

The little that could should probably be merged into the style manual. After that the style guide could be deleted as it never got completed.

External links

I think this section needs improvement as this article clearly breaks its own rules. It also needs clarity as to how to reference the external links within the main text. Maybe this should be shifted to be a recommendation, rather than a hard rule, as not many pages on the FlightGear wiki appear to follow this rule. Bugman (talk) 11:12, 22 September 2015 (EDT)
