IN DEVELOPMENT
The following conventions should be used as a guide when naming pages on the Beyond the Sunset Wiki.
In general page names should be full words, rather than abbreviations or acronym, unless it is a commonly used term (such as IC, OOC, DC, VST, BTS) or would otherwise be unsuitable to have the full word. Each word is to start with a capital letter with the remaining letters in lower case, unless it is required such as for acronyms or character names.
Character/Lineage (Page)
These pages are for characters, lineages and any other IC group. Consideration should be made for other characters, so the full name (with title, first name and/or last name) should be used when available. Creating a page for a character called John Smith named 'John' may not be available or would restrict others, so 'John Smith' or 'Brother John' may be a better option. Examples:
- Arlington Family
- Doubting Thomas
- Father Constantin
- Patrick Lucan
Venue/Domain Game Related (Domain Genre Page)
These are pages that are used for the local games, covering pages for characters, locations, IC history and even the VSS. Examples:
- Armidale Lost VSS
- Canberra Masquerade History
- Perth Forsaken Locations
- Sydney Requiem Characters
- Sydney Requiem Reset Characters
Domain Administration (Domain Page)
Where the pages could be within the menu system for the domain IC pages.
Examples:
- Melbourne DSS
- National Council
- Perth Venue Locations
- Sydney Position Holders
National/General Game Related (Category: Page or Genre Page)
Where pages within this category are listed beneath the main page contents, such as genre groups and mechanics/powers.
Examples:
- Category: Autumn Court
- Category: Carthian Movement
- Category: Cruiac
- Category: Dominate (dual page, covering both Masquarade and Requiem)
- Category: Requiem Nosferatu (genre required due to conflict between Masquarade and Requiem)
National/General Administration (Page)
Covers pages that would sit outside of this and listed as normal pages, such as national guides and player references.
Examples:
- Cruiac Guide (linked from the Cruac category)
- New Player Guide
Domains
- Adelaide
- Armidale
- Brisbane
- Canberra
- Melbourne
- Perth
- Sydney
- Toowoomba
Genres
- Changeling the Lost
- Mage the Awakening
- Vampire the Masquerade
- Vampire the Requiem
- Werewolf the Apocalypse
- Werewolf the Forsaken
