| ====Character Naming Conventions==== | ====Character Naming Conventions==== | ||
| - | For NPCs and PCs, the page link should be the character's full known name with an underscore between each word. Do not include any of the character's titles (captain, chancellor, sir, etc.) in the link. | + | For NPCs and PCs, the page link should be the character's full known name with an underscore between each word. Do not include any of the character's titles (captain, chancellor, sir, etc.) in the link, unless doing so is the only way to distinguish between two or more different characters with similar names. |
| For example, the page for Captain Sol (an NPC) is "[[brightshore:npcs:sol_hafthorsson|brightshore:npcs:sol_hafthorsson]]." | For example, the page for Captain Sol (an NPC) is "[[brightshore:npcs:sol_hafthorsson|brightshore:npcs:sol_hafthorsson]]." | ||

| + | ====In-Text Links==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can make wiki pages more integrated by including in-text links. A good policy to follow is the first time something with a page attached to it is mentioned in the text, include a link to the corresponding page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example, if the name "Stalwart Shield" comes up in the text of a page, the first time that happens, turn the text into a link to "[[brightshore:cultures_factions:stalwart_shield|brightshore:cultures_factions:stalwart_shield]]." | ||
