Midnight Club Wiki:Policies/Titles


 * This policy is under development. Please visit the related forum thread to provide input on this policy.

Overview
This policy concerns the naming of articles, categories, and other content in the wiki. It also touches on consolidation of content since article naming can be directly related to how consolidated or separated information on the wiki is.

Character Articles
When a character's full name is known, it should be the title of the article. When only a first or last name or nickname is known, that should be the article title. Nicknames in titles should not be placed in quotation marks.

Location Articles
Location articles should be named with the least amount of detail required to uniquely identify the location. For example, Los Angeles is sufficient while "Los Angeles, California" is more detailed than necessary.

Mission Articles
Mission articles should be named with the simple mission title. For example, First Impressions. Each game will contain a page such as Missions in Midnight Club Los Angeles that provides a list of links to each individual mission article.

Vehicle Articles
Vehicle articles should be named with the base make/model such as Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. A single article should cover all variations of that make/model that appear in the series, with separate sections for each variation.

List Articles
Articles that contain a list of links to other articles should be named as "Topic in Game", for example Vehicles in Midnight Club Los Angeles. The full name of the game should be used whenever possible, though Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition can be shortened to Midnight Club 3.

When the amount of content doesn't warrant a separate article for each game, just the topic is sufficient, for example Locations.

Categories
Category names should follow the basic policy of List Articles, above, except that game names should be abbreviated as MCSR, MC2, MC3, and MCLA.

Images
Image names should be descriptive of the image. Screenshots should include an abbreviation for the game from which the image was taken. For example, "Audi S5 in MCLA.jpg".
