Help:Naming

Help page

This page provides guidance on the official naming policy of DiabloWiki.

If in doubt, use the discussion tab.


Articles

Articles are almost exclusively used in singular ("Barbarian" instead of "Barbarians" etc). If it is at all possible to use singular form, do so.

Almost all article names in a wiki adhere to the general principle that all words are written with lower case letters, and only use capitals in titles (example: media coverage versus High Heavens).

DiabloWiki itself transforms the first letter of any title to a capital letter, which is unimportant for the naming. It's the equivalent of the first word of a sentence. This holds true with articles, boilerplates, categories and templates.


Categories

Category titles use a similar logic to articles, where a two-worded category title uses a lower case letter for the second word like this: Category:Art books.

Categories are almost exclusively used in plural ("Category:Maps" instead of "Category:Map").


Strategy Guides

Strategy Guides should be prefixed with Guide: then the title of the guide with capital first letters then the guide name and author. Examples below.

Guide:Magic_Find_Guide:_Battle.net_v1.10,_by_Darnoc
Guide:PvP_Sidewinder_v1.10,_by_Lyquid_Evil


Disambiguation

Disambiguations (cases where two articles or two categories with the same name mean completely different things) use a space and a parenthesis with a clarification like this: Barbarian (Diablo III class) or this: Category:Locations (lore). The word in the parenthesis is always lower case.
