Recently while browsing, I've noticed a large amount of people using many, many forms of referring to money. What really puts me off is how unproffesional it looks. As should be obvious, 277,100 coins is much better than '267.1k', yet many people on this wiki fail to acknowledge this. While in-game, many people call money "GP", though this seems only to be used as an effort to save time typing. As such, many wikians have adopted this habit. In my opinion however, this can pretty much destroy articles. In my experience, I've noticed that articles are much cleaner and sound much better by replacing 'gp' and 'gold pieces' with the standard form of "Coins." As you will find in-game, they have a name of "Coins." As I'm sure you will like to mention, Jagex does call them "gp" and "gold" in-game. However, they are called "coins" in the game, so I think we should keep this standard. As such, I propose we change the Style guide to include something similar to this:
- When referring to money, all articles must use "Coins" to replace terms such as "GP", "Gold", "Gold Pieces", and "Cash." In addition to that, players should not use terms such as "K" or "M". When using fluctating prices, players should use the Grand Exchange Market Watch templates for prices.
