Currently, we're using plain American English, allowing for any style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc...) as long as it is consistent and matches the page layouts, which the Layout guide provides sample pages to give you a visual. "You can disagree with me about the subheadings but APA and MLA are clear: second-level subheadings are capitalized. Third-level and below are at the discretion of the editor (and which style they follow)." That was said by you here, was it not? That statement indicates a preference for APA.

Sorry, I don't want to start anything, but I also don't like someone to be falsely accused of something, especially not if if means extra slander on her good name that has already been misinterpreted here.

Just an ending note to help a fellow editor out (and coming from someone who is a big advocate of a consistent style): you can't have consistency when you allow for every style to be used as they each employ their own standard, and they can't match the layout guide or the page itself when the layout guide doesn't state a preference and the page itself holds style inconsistencies. So my advice would be to hold a community discussion, pick a style and then just apply it all over. That's much easier on everyone, as then no confusion can arise as to what to apply where as it will be the same everywhere. It will also give your wiki a cleaner outlook for the general reader. But that's just a friendly piece of advice from an objective third party.
