New content added to this page should directly address a persistently recurring style issue. Edit warring over optional styles is unacceptable. Where more than one style or format is acceptable under MoS, one should be used consistently within an article and should not be changed without good reason. Since using plain English makes the encyclopedia easier and more intuitive to read, editors should avoid ambiguity, jargon, and vague or unnecessarily complex wording. MoS presents Wikipedia's house style to help its volunteer editors write and maintain articles with precise and consistent language, layout, and formatting. If any contradiction arises, this page has precedence. This primary page is supported by further detail pages, which are cross-referenced here and listed at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Contents. This Manual of Style ( MoS or MOS) is the style manual for all English Wikipedia articles (though provisions related to accessibility apply across the entire project, not just to articles).
