• Wikipedia:Manual of Style for general cases

• Wikipedia:Notice board for Pakistan-related topics for ongoing news and tasks relevant to Pakistan-related topics.

• Use onlyPakistani English spellings as per the guidelines for Pakistan related pages.
• All units should be metric (SI) units. Imperial equivalents may be given alongside in brackets. The{{Convert}} template can be useful for this.
• You may use thePakistani numbering system oflakhs andcrores but should give their equivalents in millions/billions in parentheses. Use a non-breaking space in such circumstances, e.g.: 21{{nbsp}}crore and always link the first occurrence of the word.
• Comma-delimited numbers should always be written in the Western style (e.g., 30,000,000; not 3,00,00,000). SeeWP:NUMERAL.
• For monetary figures, you may use the Pakistani numbering system but also give theirUS dollar equivalents in parentheses.

Consensus and common practice amongWikiProject Pakistan editors is that the lead sentence of an article may containUrdu or other transliterations in regional script(s) such asShahmukhi,Perso-Arabic,Naskh etc., where applicable or relevant.IPA may be used additionally to aid pronunciation. Articles under the scope of WikiProject Pakistan are not covered underWP:INDICSCRIPT. Note that this consensus only applies to Pakistan-related articles. The use of Urdu and other non-Indic scripts on articles outside the scope of Pakistan-related articles, such as Indian articles, may be subsumed under WP:INDICSCRIPT.
