Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Punctuation
- Quotation marks
- When punctuating quoted passages, include the punctuation mark inside the quotation marks only if the sense of the punctuation mark is part of the quotation ("logical" quotations). When using "scare quotes", the comma or period always goes outside.
- → My personal style is "like this," but it should be "like this", to meet the local rules.
- Oxford comma
- If the presence of the final serial comma does not affect ambiguity of the sentence (as in most cases), there is no Wikipedia consensus on whether it should be used.
- → Okay, I usually use it.
- Abbreviations of Latin terms like "i.e.", "e.g.", or "n.b."
- Articles that are intended for a general audience will be more widely understood if such terms are avoided and English terms such as "that is", "for example", or "note" used instead.
- Slashes
- Avoid joining two words by a slash, as it suggests that they are related, but does not say how. Spell it out to avoid ambiguities. Also, the construct and/or is awkward outside of legal writing. Use "x or y, or both," to explicitly conjoin with the inclusive or, or "either x or y, but not both," to explicitly specify the exclusive or.
- → so we shouldn't use anime/manga
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes) is a bit confusing, because they don't distinguish 'HYPHEN-MINUS' (U+002D) (ascii hyphen) and 'HYPHEN' (U+2010) (unicode hyphen). But anyway:
- hyphen-minus, en dash, and em dash are okay.
- Don't use figure dash and quotation dash.
- Don't use 'HYPHEN' (U+2010) and NON-BREAKING HYPHEN (U+2011), either. This is not written in the guide, but some browsers don't like them.
