Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Writing better articles (section)

=== Paragraphs ===
{{shortcut|WP:PARAGRAPH}}
{{seealso|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#Paragraphs}}

Paragraphs should be short enough to be readable, but long enough to develop an idea. Paragraphs should deal with a particular point or idea, and all the sentences within that paragraph should revolve around the same topic. When the topic changes, a new paragraph should be started. Overly long paragraphs should usually be split up.

Some paragraphs are really [[Help:table|tables]] or [[Help:List|lists]] in disguise. They should be rewritten as prose or converted to their unmasked form. [[Wikipedia:When to use tables]] and [[Wikipedia:Embedded list]] offer guidance on the proper use of these elements.
