This is a bit more important than style as article are only easy to link to if named in a consistent manner.

Try to use the singular form of nouns as article titles. This allows people to link to the singular form (<nowiki>[[Balista]]</nowiki>) as well as the plural form (<nowiki>[[Balista]]s</nowiki>). Exceptions would be cases where the article must always be plural (eg. [[Other re-enactment sites]]).

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.

Don't use 'the' in article titles. Your links should look like "The [[weather in London]]" and not "[[The weather in London]]"
