CpapWiki:Manual of Style

The Manual of Style is intended to bring some general guidelines to the way articles and pages should be formatted and structured to help make the CPAPtalk.com CPAP Wiki better. One of the nice things about a wiki is that edits do not have to be perfect since they may always be changed for correction or improvement later on. These guidelines are not "law", but will serve to make the site more uniform, and therefore easier to use. Editors should try to follow these guidelines but there are always exceptions to every rule. Above all, use common sense.
