==Dates and numbers==
{{main|Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)}}
* The '''ordinal suffix''' (e.g., ''th'') is not superscripted ({{xt|23rd}} and {{xt|496th}}, not {{!xt|23<sup>rd</sup>}} and {{!xt|496<sup>th</sup>}}).
* '''Centuries and millennia''' are written using ordinal numbers, without superscripts and without Roman numerals: {{xt|the second millennium}}, {{xt|the 19th century}}, {{xt|a 19th-century book}} (see also [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Numbers as figures or words]]).
* '''Non-[[base (mathematics)|base]]-10 notations''' in non-computer-related articles use subscript notation. For example: {{xt|''137<sub>9</sub>''}}, {{xt|''241<sub>6</sub>''}}, {{xt|''2A9<sub>12</sub>''}}, {{xt|''A87D<sub>16</sub>''}} (use <code><sub></code> and <code></sub></code>).
