===Section headings=== Use the <code>==</code> (two equal signs) style markup for main headings, equivalent to <code><nowiki><h2></nowiki></code>. '''Do not use a single <code>=</code>.''' This is because a single <code>=</code> creates an <code><nowiki><h1></nowiki></code> heading which is already used by the page header and would be bad coding. Also, use wikilinks in subject headings sparingly. When edited, these sections become confusing in the edit history because of the link code. Consider instead putting the word in the first or second sentence of the section and linking it there. Use ''Sentence case'' for section headings, ie: capitalize the first letter only of the first word and of any proper nouns in a heading and leave all of the other letters in lowercase ('''"Founding and history"''', not "Founding and History"). Title case looks nice for short section headings, but ugly for longer ones. So as a consistent style is desirable for linking purposes, sentence case has been chosen. Avoid special characters in headings, such as an ampersand (&), a plus sign (+), curly braces ({}), or square braces ([]). In place of the ampersand, use the word "and" unless the ampersand is part of a formal name. Try to keep headings short and simple. Headings are guidelines to your page's structure and should inform the reader rather than confuse. To keep it short, avoid unnecessary words or redundancy in headings, i.e. avoid a, an, and the, pronouns, repeating the article title, and so on. Also, try to avoid giving identical titles to different sections.
