* <span style="color:red">'''Don't'''</span> use abbreviations when editing pages, as it can confuse newer/less experienced readers who do not know what said abbreviations mean (e.g. "DPS" being short for "Damage-Per-Second", "LoS" being short for "Line of Sight", etc).

This goes without saying, but <span style="color:#FA0004"><u>'''never put your personal opinions on any informational (any non-discussion) page!'''</u></span> The Galaxypedia's informational pages serve only as an article of information from which the reader is able to make their own decisions and conclusions based on the information; not articles holding opinionated information which then spreads the personal bias to others. This is also stated in the [[Galaxypedia:Terms of Service#4.3_General_Editing_Guidelines|Galaxypedia Terms of Service: General Editing Guidelines]]. An example of subjective information: "The [[Zhen]], while powerful, is more expensive than your average [[:Category:Dreadnought|dreadnought]]. You would be better off buying a dreadnought instead." The example is a piece of subjective information, because it presents a piece of opinionated information to the reader; stating a conclusion that cannot proven to be true or false and as such is debatable (belongs in a discussion page). There is plenty more examples, but this should give you the gist. | This goes without saying, but <span style="color:#FA0004"><u>'''never put your personal opinions on any informational (any non-discussion) page!'''</u></span> The Galaxypedia's informational pages serve only as an article of information from which the reader is able to make their own decisions and conclusions based on the information; not articles holding opinionated information which then spreads the personal bias to others.
