This page guides the presentation of numbers, dates, times, measurements, currencies, coordinates, and similar material in articles. Its aim is to promote clarity and cohesion; this is especially important within an article. The goal is to make the whole encyclopedia easier and more intuitive to use.

Where this manual provides options, consistency should be maintained within an article unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.

Quotations, titles of books and articles, and similar "imported" text should be faithfully reproduced, even if they employ formats or units inconsistent with these guidelines or with other formats in the same article. If necessary, clarify via [bracketed interpolation], article text, or footnotes.

Guidance on the use of non-breaking spaces ("hard spaces") –  , {{}},  , {{}} – is given in some sections below; {{}} may also be useful in controlling linebreaks in some situations. Not all situations in which hard spaces or {{}} may be appropriate are described. For further information see and .

Except on pages updated regularly (e.g. the "Current events" portal), terms such as now, currently, to date, so far, soon, and recently should usually be avoided in favor of phrases such as during the 1990s, since 2010, and in August 1969. For current and future events, use phrases like as of September 2017 or since the beginning of 2017 to signal the time-dependence of the information; using {{|2017}} will produce the text As of 2017 , with the additional benefit of putting the article in a category flagging it for periodic review. A full date is specified with {{as of|2017|09|25}}. However, do not replace since the beginning of 2005 with {{as of|2005}} because some information (the beginning of 2005) would be lost; in such circumstances, use advanced features of {{}} such as {{|2005|alt=since the beginning of 2005}}.
