Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers, a Wikipedia guideline page on the presentation of numbers, dates, times, measurements, currencies, coordinates and similar items in articles, died on February 2, 2026.
The page aims to promote clarity, cohesion and consistency, and to make the encyclopedia easier and more intuitive to use. It also advises maintaining consistency within an article when options are available and notes that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style.
In addition, it says imported text such as quotations and titles should be reproduced faithfully, even when formats or units differ from the surrounding article.
