This is an official proposal to merge the changes currently located at User:Bwburke94/MoS into Survivor Wiki's Manual of Style. The full list of changes is below.

Please comment with,  , or  below. This is not a binding poll.

Section 2: Spelling

 * Extended the Koh Rong/Kaôh Rōng distinction to cover Ko Lanta/Koh-Lanta.

New Section 3: Definition of Terms / Old Section 3: Grammar

 * Replaced the empty Grammar section with a Definition of Terms section, moved from the Glossary page and converted into table format.

Section 5 / Old Section 4: Names of individuals

 * Added the words "this applies both to text and piped links" to clarify the Candice Woodcock/Cody situation.
 * Extended the name rule to cover pronouns as well; this may go against the later personal preference of a hypothetical future contestant, but we can look at this one later if we need to. What I don't want is a straight port of Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals, because of the Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner edit wars.
