There are several ways to start a new page | There are several ways to start a new page | ||
== Page Names Rules == | |||
Before knowing how to make pages, we'll tell which names are valid or not. Please follow these guidelines, it will ease everyone's life. The goal is to avoid conflicts and duplicate pages for same idea. | |||
About case in titles : | |||
* The first letter will always be an uppercase letter. If you put a lowercase, it'll be converted into uppercase. | |||
* When a page doesn't exist, please always click on search link to be sure that page doesn't exist with another case. | |||
* All words should start with a capital letter (WindowsTans) - that allows to differentiate words. | |||
* All acronyms should be in capital letters. (Acronym : letters that stand for a word) (Windows95OSR25) | |||
* Never use other than alphanumerical chars : a-z A-Z 0-9 ( - _ are never used then) | |||
* The dot . is used to separate numbers or for floating numbers. (and only for that) | |||
Note : the special chars can be used if they are legitimate part of a name : | |||
* C-Chan, or any nick or name that contains a minus sign - | |||
* Any email (i wonder why an email would be a page but... would be Admin@ostan-collections.net in that case, notice emails are all lowercase but the first letter) | |||
* It would be also correct if it's used for suffixes (like http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/-Tan ) or prefixes (like http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/Prefix- ) | |||
