Sacred Universe Wiki:Naming conventions
Page titles
Use the full name, as it appears in the books.
- Tabitha Glowdish, not Tab
- Kantankerous Albertuous, not Tank
- Remidigon Otsby, not Remi
Where a character has only one name, that is the title: Demise, Seely, Fawn.
Titles are sentence case. Only proper nouns are capitalised: Book of Fire, The Sacred City, Dragon Cleansing, but Currency of Eslura.
Do not put a description in the title unless you have to. Gewa, not "Gewa (tree)".
Redirects
Every nickname gets a redirect. This is not optional housekeeping. It is what lets Maggie write naturally and still have her links work.
[[Bea]], [[Red]], [[Lumi]], [[Metal Mouse]] and [[Celine Tidal]] all resolve to the right article.
To make one, create the page and put only this on it:
#REDIRECT [[Tabitha Glowdish]]
When a name is ambiguous
Three different things are called the Heart of the Kella: a cavern, a necklace, and a short story. When that happens:
- the plain title becomes a short page listing the options
- each real article takes a clarifying suffix in brackets: The Heart of the Kella (short story)
- every one of them carries
{{About}}at the top, pointing at the others
Only disambiguate when there is a genuine clash. Most pages need no bracket.
In-world versus real-world
Articles about the books use the published title exactly, including its series prefix: Sacred: Eslura's Calling, Sacred 2: Flames of the Awakened. Shorter forms redirect to them.
