There doesn't appear to be a guideline for how one is supposed to format file extensions when referring to them in articles. Some articles use <code>.ext</code>
, some use {{code|.ext}}
, several use the
now-obsolete <tt>.ext</tt>
, and many articles simply type the extension with no special formatting. File extensions are formatted wildly inconsistently across Wikipedia and even within pages. There needs to be a standard way to format file extensions. —

Please see proposal at: Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Make Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science/Manual of style into Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computer science. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 13:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Bilorv, in the RfC about making this a guideline, supported but with this quibble: I'm not sure how much I like the example articles given (some have issues like technicality of the lead, unverifiability or indiscriminate detail), but these can be improved over time.
Any suggestions for replacements (or improving the example articles in situ)? Didn't want to just leave this indefinitely hanging from the RfC, in which pretty much everything else was resolved. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:49, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

B-tree, Splay tree, Red–black tree, AVL tree
All of these show different ordering, formatting, and titles for the space/time complexity section of their infoboxes. Should there be a decided upon style for them? I personally like a "Complexities in Big O" header before having time and space sections. It's not helpful to go between articles quickly to see their differences and be met with different boldness, italics, and ordering.
I see now that the two infoboxes are related, only that one is the shows the amortized complexities. I believe they should be changed so that the ordering is not different. Fuser55 ( talk) 04:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
