Yeah, I see what you mean. [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style
(disambiguation
pages)]] is kind of a mess. That page could do with a rewriting (and
loosening up), but I would still argue that the main MoS page and most
of the other subpages are pretty damn decent. I mean, their huge and
unreadable if you are trying to memorize them, but if you are looking
for a specific style point, they're very useful.
Also, I would like to point out that the MoS is one of the wikipedia
policies that actually work very well (a cynic would say "one of the
few", but that's not me!) I mean, wikipedia is very consistent with
its style without hurting the articles themselves. I mean, with
infoboxes, succesionboxes, references, intros and everything else.
These things are done well throughout the encyclopedia and make us
look very polished indeed. Sometimes they lead to craziness
(especially the boxes), but mostly it works out fairly nice
I shall take care not to break things, then :-)
