This article is about a convention that is followed in this wiki. The aim is that every page on the wiki follows this convention unless explicitly stated otherwise on the page; however, in practice, this may not have been implemented

By default (i.e. unless stated explicitly otherwise) group actions on sets are on the left.

This relates to the following other conventions:

• the convention for function composition: the convention for group action is compatible with the convention for composing functions.
• the convention for conjugation: The convention for conjugation is chosen such that we get a group action on the left.
