Line 30:
Alathrans use multiple different calendars to record time. Dates should always be formatted to clearly indicate which calendar is being used. For specific details about formatting, check for the calendar's dedicated article. In addition to real time, the commonly used calendars are:
 
* [[Crops'Lore calendar]] (not denoted by AC)
* [[ValtaranCrops' calendar]] (denoted by BCWAC and ACWBC)
* [[Valtaran calendar]] (denoted by ACW and BCW)

== Main article content ==
{{shortcut|AW:MOS/MAIN}}
The main text of an article should remain factual and provide a neutral and unaugmented viewpoint, while always remaining within the scope of its given topic. Related information that is not actually about the topic itself should be made into a separate article and then linked using a ''See also'' section or with a <code><nowiki>{{main}}</nowiki></code> template.
 
=== Character ===
The Alathra Wiki project, whether intended or not, is a form of roleplay. The wiki is used to chronicle information about various lore, events, places and people that would otherwise remain unknown to a large group of the community. For that reason, when creating articles, try to envision how Alathra would be documented if its characters had access to such a site as Wikipedia. Then write the article through your character, but with regards to the following:
 
* Do not break character or insert fourth wall breaks inside the text of the actual article. Instead, direct out-of-character (OOC) messages to the article's ''Discussion'' page or to the [https://discord.com/channels/769211588988502047/880967977267245106 wiki discussion] Discord channel.
* Do not use placeholder phrases, e.g. {{!xt|WIP}} or {{!xt|placeholder}} in text. For best practice, consider that after every edit, the article should look complete, even if there is not much information presented.
* Do not write any forms of dialogue into an article. Records of lore that contain conversation should be posted to the [https://discord.com/channels/769211588988502047/1016390747760644136 roleplay] Discord channel.
