Wiki Etiquette/rules: | |||
*All articles are to be written from the perspective of an indefinite point in the future UNLESS something is presently ongoing. This prevents the need to continually update articles should something suddenly change (i.e. a car being taken out of production, a company going bankrupt etc.) | |||
*Similarly, major changes occurring outside any of the shows on this Wiki (e.g. incapacitating injuries, cars being scrapped, name changes etc.) are NOT to be reported unless they occur during the span of a particular show. So if [[Jeremy Clarkson]] were to have changed his name to "Jennifer" in 2015/16 as per the original stipulation of his [[Holy Trinity Wager|wager]], the page would only refer to him as "Jennifer" when describing events following the name change, with all preceding events and the article title itself retaining the name "Jeremy", as that is the name he was most commonly known by for over 55 years. | |||
*As most automotive programs are British (including the earliest known example, [[Wheelbase]]), the British dialect of English is to be used in most articles, along with British-market car names (i.e. Vauxhall over Opel) unless the car in question was never sold in the UK, or an import car was used instead. An example of this is the Dodge Viper, which despite being known as a Chrysler in the UK, mostly appeared in its American form throughout TV shows. | |||
