: In the '''rationale''' links there are more examples, it shoud be usefull but I thinks it should be better to write them in another page (may be ''''Hattrick:Naming conventions (foo)'''), I think it's better short sections with references to examples and rationales. --[[User:Carlesmu|carlesmu]] 22:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

==Player pages, series pages, territorial categories==
i think we need standards for the names above.
* For players i include the ID in the name. Then it's a unique page name.
* I have seen different ways for Series names: e.g. ''III.3 (USA)'' or ''Latvia II 2'' (i prefer the first variant)
* same for subcategories. See [[:Category:Latvia]] for an example. 3 cat.s are name ''Latvian xyz'' and 1 is called ''Regions Latvija''. (this should be ''Latvian Regions'' in my opinion)

Use English words

I will change: Exceptions for countries and regions with: Countries and region must be named with his hattrick name and which english name, if it is not the same, should redirect to his hattrick name.

If nobody dissagry I will change it tomorrow.

Why not today?-) --GM-Lau ;-)
Yes, better now. It's for let people be more involved with the changes. May be some other names should be in other language, but I cannot think in any other; may be somebody dissagree, or prefer another wording. --carlesmu 18:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC) :-P

Lowercase second and subsequent words

Convention: Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun (such as a name) or is otherwise almost always capitalized (for example: "John Wayne", but not "Computer game").

ok, i have checked the wikipedia site for proper nouns. now my question. Schouldn't it be (for example: "John Wayne", but not "Computer Game")? Game is a common noun or not? --Shyrlden 19:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Ooops!!! Yes, I'm correcting it. --carlesmu 20:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

IMHO we should make a table with more examples. In discogs it looks like this. --User:Shyrlden

In the rationale links there are more examples, it shoud be usefull but I thinks it should be better to write them in another page (may be 'Hattrick:Naming conventions (foo)), I think it's better short sections with references to examples and rationales. --carlesmu 22:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


Player pages, series pages, territorial categories

i think we need standards for the names above.

  • For players i include the ID in the name. Then it's a unique page name.
  • I have seen different ways for Series names: e.g. III.3 (USA) or Latvia II 2 (i prefer the first variant)
  • same for subcategories. See Category:Latvia for an example. 3 cat.s are name Latvian xyz and 1 is called Regions Latvija. (this should be Latvian Regions in my opinion)
