== Article titles == In general, we prefer singular, lower case article names, if the game does not use the article title as a proper name. Article titles must not contain capitalized words unless they are proper nouns, such as "Federation", "Cardassian", "Sulu", ranks (when used as part of name), and "Spacedock" in the phrase "Earth Spacedock" (because it is itself a proper noun consisting of more than one word, each of which must be capitalized. Item names may be capitalized as they are in the game. So for example an article would be named ''[[bridge officer]]'', not ''bridge officers'' or ''Bridge Officers''. Items are capitalized as in the game: ''[[Tribble of Borg]]'' instead of ''tribble of borg'' or ''Tribble Of Borg''. Locations are generally capitalized: ''[[Sol System]]'' instead of ''Sol'' or ''Sol system''; ''[[Fluidic Space]]'' instead of ''fluidic space''; ''[[Alpha Quadrant]]'' instead of ''alpha quadrant'' or ''Alpha quadrant''. Article titles must not contain ranks for characters in the game. For example, ''[[Jorel Quinn]]'' instead of ''Admiral Quinn''. The first occurrence of the article title (or a variant thereof, e.g. plural) in the article itself must be in '''bold'''. An exception are NPCs, who are always addressed with their rank in-game For example, in the article for [[Zihr]] starts with "'''Ensign Zihr''' is..." instead of "Ensign '''Zihr''' is...". In order to distinguish identically named entities like the [[Accolade]] ''{{accolade|Lucky}}'' and the [[Trait]] ''{{trait|Lucky}}'' the respective articles get separate prefixes. {| class="wikitable" ! Article Type ! Prefix ! Example |- | NPCs (non-player characters) | (None) | [[Golos Vell]] |- | Starships | (Prefix) (Name) | [[U.S.S. Oakland]] |- | Missions | Mission:(space) | [[Mission: Stranded In Space]] |- | Items (all) | (None) | [[Disruptor Dual Pistols]] |- | Skills (all) | Skill:(space) | [[Skill: Tactical Team Leader]] |- | Trait (all) | Trait:(space) | [[Trait: Leadership]] |- | Injury (all) | Injury:(space) | [[Injury: Minor Concussion]] |- | Accolade (all) | Accolade:(space) | [[Accolade: Affluent]] |- | Guide (all) | Guide:(space) | [[Guide: Basics]] |} === Lists === An exception from the article naming guideline on plural forms are lists. The most prominent example is the [[list of missions]]. === Categories === Categories should adhere to the usual article naming guidelines, but in fact many are not. The [[:Category: Federation Starships]] is such an example. Since it is a lot of work, to rename an established category with many members, users are encouraged to pay special attention to creating new categories.
