This is a meta article! It revolves around something within the wiki, and is not necessarily an article about Housing!
The Hypixel Housing Wiki should always stay high quality, that's why we employ a style guide on what to do and what not to do when contributing to an article. If you are wondering about something like usage of the Oxford comma or British vs American English, refer to the Wikipedia Manual of Style.
Links
You should only link to a relevant article the first time it comes up and if it is relevant. You should not link to the Housing article unless it is 100% relevant, like in this situation.
Terminology
To stay consistent and not confuse new players, this is the vocabulary that should be used in guides and articles. If a term is missing, please mention it in our Discord server listed on the main page and we'll add it!
Generally, the order of priority on how things should be referred to are as follows, although exceptions may be made. If any non-community phrases conflict, the most recent one should be used if it is not yet listed.
- Phrase is used ingame
- Phrase is used in changelogs
- Phrase is used by the playerbase
