Help:Local manuals of style
 | This page contains a draft proposal for a Wikibooks policy or guideline. Discuss changes to this draft at the discussion page. Through consensus, this draft could become an official Wikibooks policy or guideline. |
Unlike wikipedia or wiktionary -- which are essentially very large books with a single manual of style -- the individual wikibooks found on Wikibooks can be written in vastly different styles, according to what best suits the topic and the preference of the authors.
In order to ensure a consistent feel for the book as it matures, authors might consider encoding a Local Manual of Style (LMOS).
