{{Main|WikiIslam:Formatting}} | |||
Articles should be formatted using text codes to create elements of the page (e.g., headings). This markup language is known as wikitext (or wiki-markup). | |||
Bold emphasis should only be used within quotation boxes or when the name of an article's subject in an encyclopedic page is first mentioned. In all other cases, italics should be used when emphasis is needed (this should be used sparingly and only when absolutely needed). | |||
If there are two or more distinct topics being discussed, the article should be made more readable by inserting a heading for each topic. These headings do not form a part of the main text. They only indicate the general topic of that particular section, and should not contain information not found within its main text. So when choosing titles for headings and subheading, editors should avoid questions or long sentences. | |||
When applicable, footer sections of articles should consist of a "See Also", "External Links" and "References" section (always in that particular order). | |||
