===Conventions===

# Use singular (when possible) phrase style titles for page titles and headings, not titles with each word capitalized. So it's ''Buckling spring'' not ''Buckling Springs'', and ''Keyboards with Cherry switches'', not ''Keyboards with Cherry Switches'' (same as Wikipedia<ref>[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article_titles#Article_title_format|Article title format on Wikipedia]]</ref>).
# Don't put articles in categories which are a parent or grandparent of the deepest category the article is part of. So ''Cherry MX Blue'' is in category ''Cherry MX'', which is in category ''Cherry switches''. But ''Cherry MX Blue'' shouldn't be in ''Cherry switches''.<ref>Deskthority — [http://deskthority.net/deskthority-related-f17/the-wiki-thread-t70-390.html#p41541 Original proposal for choosing among diffusing or non-diffusing subcategories]</ref>. In some cases a 'List of all ...' category can be made to which all deepest children can be added.
# Use ''Alps'', not ''ALPS''.<ref>Deskthority — [http://deskthority.net/deskthority-related-f17/the-wiki-thread-t70-120.html#p3789 ALPS is not an acronym and should be written Alps]</ref>
# Use ''keycap'', not ''key cap'' (same as Wikipedia).<ref>[[Wikipedia:Keycap|Keycap on Wikipedia]]</ref>.
# Use ''Space-cadet keyboard'', not ''Space Cadet keyboard'' (same as Wikipedia).<ref>[[Wikipedia:Space-cadet keyboard|The Space-cadet keyboard on Wikipedia]]</ref>.
# For external references other than the DT forum, be sure to post the exact article name instead of paraphrasing it, otherwise it may be very difficult to find a replacement later on if the link becomes dead. Also, place the references section after the "See also" section, if any, but before the "External links" section. This is the same style used by [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#Order_of_article_elements|Wikipedia]].
