Editing GoArch:Naming conventions (section)

== Specific conventions ==
* '''Game and book titles.''' Games that have the same title as the subject they are about should have "(game)" at the end of their title (for example, [[Myst (game)]]). Books and games should both have their full name written out (e.g. [[Myst: The Book of Ti'ana]]). Titles should match capitalization in production sources when possible.
* '''Languages.''' Languages often share their names with the culture or species that it is native to. In these cases, suffix the language name with "(language)" (e.g. [[D'ni (language)]], [[Rivenese (language)]]). If a language's name is not shared with any other culture, species, et cetera, do not use a "(language)" suffix in the article name as it would be unnecessary.
* '''Species names.''' Always use the name of an alien species in singular form (e.g. "bahro", not "bahros"). For examples like [[D'ni]] for which there are several definitions, use a [[GoArch:Disambiguation|disambiguation]] page.
** Names of species should always be lower-case ("bahro", not "Bahro"), whilst names of races and cultures are capitalized ("Pento", not "pento").
* '''Age names.''' In all cases, use the most common version of an Age's proper name, (e.g. [[Terahnee]] instead of [[Devokan]], and [[Riven]] instead of "Age 5" or "The Fifth Age").
* '''Lists.''' Use the plural form of the subject. (Example: <nowiki>[[Relto pages]] or [[List of bahro stones]]</nowiki>)
* '''The <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki> [[w:Help:Magic words|magic word]].''' This can be used to format a page title, but should '''never''' be used to display the title as something different than the actual title of the article.

If you have another specific issue that should be added to this list, please bring it up on the [[GoArch talk:Naming conventions|talk page]].
