General content
When editing pages on this wiki, there are a few key points we would like you to keep in mind:
 * Pages should be written in an encyclopaedic tone, however they should use language that is easy to understand for newbies.
 * Avoid using language that may be difficult to understand for English-language learners.
 * Prioritise new users over experienced users, however do not obscure important information for sake of simplicity.
 * British spellings must always be used, with redirects to American spellings where necessary (e.g. colour instead of color).
 * Avoid use of colloquialisms, and do not swear.
 * Do not plagiarise content or copy pages from other wikis, including the old ComputerCraft wiki.

Lua
There is also a Lua code style that we would like you to remain consistent with. It boils down to these major points:
 * Always use  variables and functions instead of global ones.
 * Always use camelCase for variable and function names (e.g. )
 * Use self-describing variable names (e.g. ) where possible, but make sure not to shadow any global APIs. (e.g.   instead of , because window is already taken).
 * Always use British spellings of APIs and functions (e.g. ).
 * Always indent your code properly. Use 2 spaces for indentation.
 * Always use spaces between operators (e.g. ), but do not put spaces around parentheses (e.g.  ).
