Spelling
The wiki uses British English so please stop changing the spelling of words. That'll only get your edits reverted. Thanks, --Colok76286 (talk) 06:57, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Description formats & See also's
Hi LightningFerret,
Thank you for your continued contributions to the War Thunder Wiki but a few pointers I wanted to make towards some recurring re-edits when it comes to approving your edits:
- Description format
There's currently 2 formats found on all vehicles on the Wiki:
- The old standard "The PAGENAME is a VEHICLE TYPE with a battle rating of ___. It was introduced in Update __"
- The new standard that follows the following guidelines:
- 2* paragraphs with the initial paragraph (preferably starting with the vehicle name) describing its history and characteristics, the last paragraph explaining its gameplay perspective.
- *More paragraphs can be used to go further in-depth (but keep it as concise as possible - expanded history should stay in History section), a paragraph can also be used to explain its availability and/or details about the camouflage of unit or nation
- Old standards can (and should) be updated to the new standard, but the new standard will be kept and not return to the old standard
- See also (and other uses of subheaders)
I've also noticed primarily in See also's that you bold the subheaders by simply '''TEXT''', but if you have a new line, you can simply use ;TEXT which is personally easier and is common & more consistent across all pages
Another side note is to remember not to delete the template text and simply comment it out if there's content in said section i.e.
==See also== <!-- ''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:'' * ''reference to the series of the helicopter;'' * ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.'' --> ;Related development * [[Vehicle (family)]]
Thank you again,
