On Behalf of Mrs. Potato Head: style sheets? a good model to follow?

From Mrs. Potato Head:

I've pretty much dived in to Fanlore a few days ago and have been adding fanzines and their contents. I really, really hope I'm doing it right.

Is there a page that lays out how things are to be referred to? Example: multi-fandom/multimedia/multi-media? Or for fandoms: Man from U.N.C.L.E./Man From U.N.C.L.E./The Man from...? How about including "the" and "a" in fandoms and zine titles: The A-Team/A-Team? Is there a way to correct a page heading after one's searched it, and used the link to make a new page only to discover too late that not capitalizing correctly in a search or not using an exclamation point makes it look like two different entries? Is there a masterlist of authors and people who I can use full names before 1995? Is there a couple of "ideal" pages I can use as models?

I've got lots of questions and don't know who to ask!
Mrs. Potato Head

I'm not aware of any style guide (not that I'm an expert). My advice would be: don't sweat it! It's easy to move things and add redirects later if necessary.
