WiKirby is an English-language wiki. More specifically, it uses American English. As such, articles should be written only in English (barring quotes in other languages, more on that below) and American English spelling and American-localized names should take priority in mainspace, excepting when specifically referring to quotes and names taken from other languages. | WiKirby is an English-language wiki. More specifically, it uses American English. As such, articles should be written only in English (barring quotes in other languages, more on that below) and American English spelling and American-localized names should take priority in mainspace, excepting when specifically referring to quotes and names taken from other languages — "color" over "colour", "localization" over "localisation", "Mr. Dooter" over "Mr Dooter". | ||
If a word has multiple accepted spellings in American English, it is generally preferred to use the more common spelling. In particular, wiki consensus has determined that "cutscene", "midair", "moveset", "2D", and "3D" should consistently ''not'' be hyphenated, as this is more common. | |||
