Remember this is only the current [[Cunnan]] opinion on Style and Naming. If users find it limiting or difficult to use then feel free to make changes!<br />
<br />
== Article Naming ==<br />
This is a bit more important than style as articles are only easy to link to if named in a consistent manner. <br />
<br />
Only use capital letters for proper nouns. E.g. <nowiki>[[Kingdom Of The West]] should be [[Kingdom of the West]]</nowiki> (capitalisation of the first word in a link is ok for all words though).<br />
<br />
Try to use the singular form of nouns as article titles. This allows people to link to the singular form (<nowiki>[[Ballista]]</nowiki>) as well as the plural form (<nowiki>[[Ballista]]e</nowiki>). Exceptions would be cases where the article must always be plural (eg. [[Other re-enactment sites]]).<br />
<br />
If you're linking to a page that has a title that may be ambiguous you can append the subject to the end surrounded by brackets. E.g. <nowiki>[[Joe Bloggs (person)]] and [[Joe Bloggs (song)]]</nowiki> would be better than one page containing both. The use of subpages is no longer supported.<br />
<br />
Numbers should be reserved for years only (eg. [[1066]]). [[AD]] isn't needed in titles but [[BC]] is (eg. [[5000 BC]]) this seems fair as most dates [[Cunnan]] will deal with are [[AD]] anyway.<br />
<br />
Don't use 'the' in article titles. Your links should look like "The [[weather in London]]" and not "[[The weather in London]]"</div>213.114.239.219
