IN DEVELOPMENT
The following conventions should be used as a guide when naming pages on the Beyond the Sunset Wiki.
Below are the naming conventions for pages based on their purpose and level within the clubs structure (starting from the characters to National level). The convention is listed next to each title, where "Page" represents the sections name.
For example "Domain Genre Page" would be the domain name, followed by the genre name and lastly the section name. Where the a page for the list of characters in the Sydney Vampire the Requiem game would have a name of Sydney Requiem Characters.
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.
- Domains should be the city name in full (e.g. Canberra or Sydney).
- Genres should be the unique name in full (e.g. Forsaken or Requiem).
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 Constantine
- Patrick Lucan
Venue Level (Domain Genre Page)
Venue level pages that are used for the local games, covering pages for characters, locations, IC history and even the VSS (Venue Style Sheet).
Examples:
- Armidale Lost VSS
- Canberra Masquerade History
- Perth Forsaken Locations
- Sydney Requiem Characters
- Sydney Requiem Reset Characters
Domain Level (Domain Page)
Domain level pages relating to administration or other non-in-game related purposes, covering position holders, game locations, position holders or DSS (Domain Style Sheet).
Examples:
- Melbourne DSS
- National Council
- Perth Venue Locations
- Sydney Position Holders
National Level Categories (Category: Page or Genre Page)
National pages that are used as categories (listed at the bottom of each page) and cover genre groups (clans, lodges), mechanics, powers or any other categories. These pages can have body content (which cold describe the in-character group or power) and list all pages that have this category. References to these pages can be [[::Carthian Movement]] or [[Carthian Movement]] (if there is a redirection). The alternative is to have a normal page (as that below).
Examples:
- Category: Autumn Court
- Category: Carthian Movement
- Category: Cruiac
- Category: Dominate (dual page, covering both Masquarade and Requiem)
- Category: Nosferatu (dual page, covering both Masquarade and Requiem)
National Level General (Page)
National pages that are not used as categories and cover national guides, player references and general information pages. The alternative is to have a 'Category' page (above).
Examples:
- Character Development Document
- Cruiac Guide
- Resources Images
- New Player Guide
Domains
Domain names should be listed as the city name in full, as opposed to their operating names (e.g. Sydney rather than Syd, Harbour of Darkness or HOD).
- Adelaide
- Armidale
- Brisbane
- Canberra
- Melbourne
- Perth
- Sydney
- Toowoomba
Genres
The genre name should be listed on pages as the unique name, as opposed to the supernatural types. This will assist in consistency across venues and domains, and avoid confusion between the Old WOD and New WOD settings.
- Changeling the Lost
- Mage the Awakening
- Vampire the Masquerade
- Vampire the Requiem
- Werewolf the Apocalypse
- Werewolf the Forsaken
Redirects
Page redirection #REDIRECT [[pagename]]
The alternative to the use of the 'Category' approach is to have a normal page (as that below). Its use is dependant on the usefulness of having information on the category page and the listing of pages within the category.
