Contents
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.).
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.
Expedition pages
These are named "YYYY-MM-DD N E", where...
- YYYY is the year (four digits);
- MM is the month (two digits, with leading zero if necessary);
- DD is the day (two digits, with leading zero if necessary);
- N is the latitude (one or two digits, no leading zero, preceded by negative sign if necessary);
- E is the longitude (one, two or three digits, no leading zero, preceded by negative sign if necessary).
Examples include 2010-10-01 52 0, 2010-10-10 -37 144 and 2010-07-04 49 -123.
General considerations
- Avoid words in page titles that have variant English spellings (e.g., -ise/-ize, -our/-or, and the doubled "l" in participles)
- ... and if you can't avoid it, make a redirect from any valid spelling.
