** For long numbers, >9999, a delimiter (thousands separator) can be optionally used as a space between the groups, the choice of using delimiter should be kept consistenly throughout the whole article. Numbers from range 1000-9999 do not need to use delimiter even if other numbers in that same article above this range use it.

* If the date is meant to be written in a compact format, it should use little-endian format (day, month, year), using either a period or a dash as a separator; the usage of separator should be consistent within an article. More desireable date representation is however to write the month as a word, in this case "<month(word)> <day(ordinal numeral)>, <year(number)>", "<month(word)> <day(number)>, <year(number)>" and "<day(ordinal numeral)> of <month(word)>, <year(number)>" are all accepted, however a one set format should be followed within the same page.
* Whenever writing time representation, a 24-hour clock should be used on the wiki in all cases, with hours, minutes and seconds separated from each other by a colon.
 


Keep in mind that the developers are not a native English speakers, and like the majority of people using English as their secondary language in the modern age of globalisation, they will use a variation of globalised English that borrows vocabulary, terminology, spelling and grammy from various English dialects and their own local languages. The setting of the games is also influnced by non-English speaking countries and their standards, making for instance a use of decimal separator and delimiter as seen above, different from the English speaking countries.
