Naming conventions

I would like to move a few pages around, to make them adhere to some simple to remember naming conventions. The following therefore is a suggestion, please feel free to discuss, add and comment. When there is enough of a consensus, ReletBot could do the dirty work. -- relet 15:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

The one rule to remember

one rule to bind them all

• As in Wikipedia.en, only the first word of every page is capitalized, unless some words are capitalized in the English language (i.e. proper nouns, days of week, etc.).

  e.g.: Naming conventions; New York, New York; Category:Not reached - Mother Nature.

Achievements and ribbons

ever managed to spell Category:Curse_of_Unawareness_consolation_prize correctly?

• Achievement pages shall include the word "achievement". Consolation prize pages shall include the word "consolation prize".
• The corresponding ribbon shall be named [[Template:X]] for the X achievement or consolation prize.
• The corresponding category shall be named identical to the achievement.

  e.g.: Abduction achievement, Template:Abduction, Category:Abduction achievement (<-contains one misnomer, currently)

General considerations

• Avoid words in page titles that have variant english spellings (e.g. ize/ise, our/or, and the doubled l in participles) [suggested by Robyn]

... and if you can't avoid it, make a redirect from any valid spelling.

I support both. I would have argued for book title capitalization, but the Wikipedia standard is reluctantly acceptable to me.

I also suggest avoiding words in page titles that have variant english spellings (e.g. ize/ise, our/or, and the doubled l in participles). So use "Travel" instead of "Travelling," for example. -Robyn 17:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

More support for the whole thing. That capitalization chaos is currently the worst thing about categori(z/s)ing. --Ekorren 21:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
