This site's naming convention policy.

Policy[]

General Rules[]

  1. Never start an article name with "a," "an," or "the" unless it is part of a title of an episode, song, or other media.
  2. Consider how it will be linked to in an article.

Articles for subjects without names[]

If you want to write an article about something that doesn't have a name, consider the following:

  • Is the subject large enough to constitute its own article? If a subject doesn't have a name, do we really know enough about it for it to have its own article?
  • Would it be better off in an article about a more general subject? Oftentimes an unnamed character or location can be used to enhance an article that already exists.

Which is more important?[]

  • Episode or Song? Answer: Episode. When an episode and a song have the same name, it is better to refer to the episode by it's name, and then the song's name with "song" in parenthesis at the end. For example: Hail Doofania! and Hail Doofania! (song).

Capitalization[]

  • For unspecific things, such as "Fletcher family," the first word should be capitalized, while the succeeding ones are lower case.

Punctuation[]

When creating titles, please punctuate correctly. For example, "And" is always better than "&," unless that is the correct name from a media.

Naming Templates[]

  • For infoboxes: It is best to put infobox before the template title. For example, Template:Infobox character is preferred more than Template:Character infobox. This is done in order to organize categories alphabetically, keeping similar items together.
  • For others: Please title templates with appropriate names. Try to keep it simple, perhaps using an abbreviation. For example, Template:PFT is better than Template:Phineas and the Ferb Tones. Think about which one you would rather type in when you want to use the template.
