So as to keep some order, we'll draw up some page naming conventions here, shall we ?
=Page Naming Conventions=


The most immediate issue is subpage naming - we currently have CEG_Something (COB_same) and Unit:Other (Map:Aswell).
==Regarding Sub-pages==


It would be neater to have that all in the same style, and while we're at it, decide on when to use a "subpage" like style, and when to use names without prefixes.
=== For which sections of the Site===
 
Only pages within the "Development" section of the Site-structure should use sub-pages. All pages in this Section should be either Super or Sub-page. The Super-pages are the following:
*Engine
*Mapdev
*Gamedev
*AI
*Lua
*Unit
*Model
*Animation
*CEG
 
Pretty much all other pages should be sub-pages of one of these categories/super-pages (the exception I would say are two pages, one grouping "content", the other grouping "coding" - AI, Engine and Lua.
 
We only use one level of Super and Sub-page (no Unit:Cob:Animation or similar). Super-pages should match with categories.
 
===Separator===
 
Use a ":" to separate between the super and sub-page. So we have Units:UnitDefs, Mapdev:SMD, AI:Interface, etc.
 
==Regarding naming==
 
Please use short phrases for Names within the Site-structure. Using more than three words is advised against, two will usually be optimal. CamelCase is probably the easiest way of achieving naming consistency (as Capitalisation is clear), avoid spaces in page names.

For the sake of maintainability the Spring wiki is currently English language only. Non-English language pages '''will''' be tagged for deletion!

Page Naming Conventions

Regarding Sub-pages

For which sections of the Site

Only pages within the "Development" section of the Site-structure should use sub-pages. All pages in this Section should be either Super or Sub-page. The Super-pages are the following:

  • Engine
  • Mapdev
  • Gamedev
  • AI
  • Lua
  • Unit
  • Model
  • Animation
  • CEG

Pretty much all other pages should be sub-pages of one of these categories/super-pages (the exception I would say are two pages, one grouping "content", the other grouping "coding" - AI, Engine and Lua.

We only use one level of Super and Sub-page (no Unit:Cob:Animation or similar). Super-pages should match with categories.

Separator

Use a ":" to separate between the super and sub-page. So we have Units:UnitDefs, Mapdev:SMD, AI:Interface, etc.

Regarding naming

Please use short phrases for Names within the Site-structure. Using more than three words is advised against, two will usually be optimal. CamelCase is probably the easiest way of achieving naming consistency (as Capitalisation is clear), avoid spaces in page names.

Language versions

For the sake of maintainability the Spring wiki is currently English language only. Non-English language pages will be tagged for deletion!
