Article name is just that, a name of the article, but there if you create an article named "Schools in USA" most people won't find it, because they will be looking for "list of schools in USA". So read on to make everybody's job much easier.
Capital or lower case[edit]
If the topic you are writing about is always capitalized (such as Peter Kropotkin, United Kingdom, or Anarchopedia), then it would save everybody a lot of time if you would also capitalize the correct letters in the name of the article. It has become an unofficial convention in Anarchopedia not to capitalize the word "anarchism" in the articles.
Lists[edit]
If you are listing something call it "list of something", for example list of buy local by region.
Numbers and years[edit]
Number articles should use the number words rather than the numerals in the titles to distinguish them from year articles (compare the difference between one and 1) or elsewise they should have (number) after the numeral in the titles, as in 555,555 (number).
Categories[edit]
Please always capitalize the first letter of the category name, with other letters do as you would with an article. Note: don't do that with the articles in the Anarchopedia: namespace. Such as this article is called "Anarchopedia:naming conventions" with small 'n'.
