-*For [[Units of measurement|unit]]s of measure, use [[SI]] units as the main units in science articles, unless there are compelling historical or pragmatic reasons not to do so (for example, [[Hubble's constant|Hubble’s constant]] should be quoted in its most common unit of ([[Kilometre|km]]/[[Second|s]])/[[Megaparsec|Mpc]] rather than its SI unit of s<sup>−1</sup>). For other articles, [[Imperial unit|Imperial]], [[United States customary units |U.S. customary]], or [[Metric system|metric]] units may be used as the main units of measurement. See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Units of measurement]] for further guidance. The Wikipedia rule for commas and periods in numbers is, for example 12,345,678.901 &mdash; contrary to Continental style.

 *In articles about [[chemical]]s and [[chemistry]], use the style of the [[IUPAC|International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry]] (IUPAC) for chemical names wherever possible except in article titles, where the common name should be used if different followed by mention of the IUPAC name.  For general information see [[systematic name]], and for organic compounds in particular see [[IUPAC nomenclature]].
 *In [[periodic table group]]s, use the <!--if you want to say “new” here, please follow the section in this manual about avoiding the word ''new''-->IUPAC names (these use [[Arabic numerals|Hindu-Arabic numerals]], not [[Roman numerals]] or letters).

 The References or Notes section can have a code which will copy your embedded link (with its external link, description and/or quote), into the References or Notes section and make it a functioning link there. Do not use this code with an embedded link alone; use it only if you're adding a citation or description of the link.

+{{main|Centiare:Manual of Style (links)|Centiare:Only make links that are relevant to the context}}
 Make only [[Help:Contents/Links|links]] relevant to the context. It is not useful and can be very distracting to mark all possible words as hyperlinks. Links should add to the user’s experience; they should not detract from it by making the article harder to read. A high density of links can draw attention away from the high-value links that you would like your readers to follow up. Redundant links clutter up the page and make future maintenance harder. A link is the equivalent of a footnote in a print medium. Imagine if every second word in an encyclopedia article were followed by “(see:)”. Hence, the links should not be so numerous as to make the article harder to read.
@@ Line 494: / Line 494: @@
 When wikilinks are rendered as URLs by the [[MediaWiki]] software, the initial character becomes capitalized and spaces are replaced by underscores.  When including wikilinks in an article, there is no need to use capitalization or underscores, since the software produces them automatically. This feature makes it possible to avoid a [[:Help:piped link|piped link]] in many cases. The correct form in English orthography can be used as a straight link.  Wikilinks that begin sentences or are proper nouns should be capitalized as normal.

+This is perhaps an area where Centiare's flexibility and plurality are an asset, and where we would not want all pages to look exactly alike. Centiare's [[Centiare:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] and [[Centiare:No original research|no original research]] policies always take precedence. However, here are some nonbinding guidelines that may help:
 *Where known, use terminology that subjects use for themselves ([[self-identification]]). This can mean using the term an individual uses for himself or herself, or using the term a group most widely uses for itself. This includes referring to [[transgender]] individuals according to the names and pronouns they use to identify themselves.
 *Use specific terminology: People from Ethiopia (a country in Africa) should be described as Ethiopian, not African.
