Editing Guidelines

Page Names and Categories
The following table describes conventions for the naming of pages related to certain topics, as well as suggested Category tags to include in the markup of that page. These guidelines apply only to the main page of a given topic, and not necessarily to related pages.
For instance, for the town of Glubmarth you would use the Town guidelines, but for the Flying Donkey Kick tavern in Glubmarth you would just use a normal page and name, not the Town guidelines.
The Example column contains the link tag you would use when first creating a link to a new page. The Category column is the wiki markup you should include at the top of the new page, so that the new entity is properly referenced in the Category pages.
Page names should also use the trailing the format: for example the page title for The Village of Shadow should be Village of Shadow, The (Town).
| Page Type | Name Convention | Example | Category Tag | Template Tag |

| Towns | Name (Town) | [[Glubmarth (Town) | Glubmarth]] | none | Template:Town |
| Islands | Island Name (Island) | [[Lost Shoal (Island) | Lost Shoal]] | [[Category:Island]] | none |
