As apart of the Ministry of Wikiness' effort to help spruce up the wiki, Jasen777 and I feel it would be a good idea to start a discussion on some formatting standards. As you've probably already noticed, the wiki can at times seem somewhat disorganized with many similar articles being formatting very differently.

We'd like to hear and discuss here your ideas on standard formatting.

The Ministry of Wikiness - Jasen777 and myself - prefer using H2 (===== Title =====) for titles. This seems to have become pretty common, so we both feel it'd be a great idea to just make it the standard for all titles.

It's also come to my attention that there's an actual template (http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/doku.php/offtopic/how_to_make_your_own_profile) for member profiles, although admittedly it's pretty sparse. Should it be changed, and if so what do you suggest?

H2 for all titles? For profiles, the topmost title looks better bigger than the rest.

I thought that profile template was a joke.

More opinions on this would be welcomed.

I don't know what its original purpose was, but I think it's a good thing to have to encourage new members to add their own page.
