Especially if that wiki took the time, thought, and effort to write a *Manual of Style*, you should follow it. It's like a subset of Rules, where every wiki's rules are not necessarily the same. And if you give it thought, ignoring an MoS is almost rude…?

In wikis which I run, the thought is one of accessibility for international and non-English primary visitors. English is an awkward, often difficult language with a lot of challenging and contradictory written, phonetic, and grammar rulesets. Even for English-primary speakers!

So in my wikis, contractions are only allowed for directly quoted dialog.

Now, not sayig this should be the case of *every* wiki, but yeah, if they have a Manual, might be best to adhere to it…
