WikiIndex:Naming conventions

WikiIndex page names for wiki pages

If you want to Add a Wiki to WikiIndex, the new page should be named according to the following naming conventions:

First of all, don't worry if you get it wrong! We can rename pages.

• We normally have the page at WikiIndex the same as the wiki being referenced.
• We normally don't include the '.com' or '.org' or other TLD.

Example names

• Wikitravel
• KayakWiki
• Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki
• ReefPedia
• Protocolinfo

However, you will notice that our own wiki has its own internal naming conventions confusion. WikiIndex and Wiki Index. Cheers!

multiple language versions

Wiki sites with separate wikis for individual languages should get a separate page for each language version in the catalogue here.

Create one main page for the whole thing and one subpage to that for each language version. The main page follows the usual naming conventions, the subpages get the name of the main page with the ISO code of the language appended after a slash.

Example: Ekopedia/en

To link from the main page to the subpages there is the template language versions.

Internal page names

• Currently we are CamelCase or Free links or both (As a note, MediaWiki is inherently confused on internal page naming)
  • Recent changes – Special:Recentchanges
  • Community Portal – Community_Portal
  • Current Events – Current_events
