Help:Editing/Improper Words list

The following words and sets of words are not to be used within the editable text of One Wiki to Rule them All's informative articles. If they are seen, they will be replaced. These improper terms or idioms are either less than objective in real-life usage, grammatically or canonically incorrect, common misspellings, or are lazy with respect to their better synonyms.

Restricted anywhere in an article

 * "no doubt"
 * "albeit"
 * "basically"
 * "pretty" followed by an adjective
 * "Orcen" or "Orcan" - the proper and only adjectival term for Orcs in Middle-earth lore is Orcish
 * "Urukhai" or "Uruk Hai" - the correct spelling is "Uruk-hai"
 * "Cavetroll"
 * Sentence fragments - unless it is an image caption or quote
 * "From whence" - must instead be either "from where" or "whence" by itself
