This page covers&nbsp;two kinds of stylistic ideas:&nbsp;


#Ideas&nbsp;that&nbsp;have&nbsp;reached a consensus among the FamilySearch Wiki community and can thus be executed over&nbsp;many pages.&nbsp;
#Ideas&nbsp;that&nbsp;have been proposed and need further discussion and consensus before implementation. (These ideas cannot be implemented over many pages until they have achieved a consensus decision.)


If you have an idea to add to the Manual of Style (MOS), see [[FamilySearch Wiki:Transforming a Style Idea to a Manual of Style Guideline|Transforming a Style Idea to a Manual of Style Guideline]], and then add your topic to Proposals being discussed section below.
