Page Formatting
The page format consists of a few features. Included in the formatting are the page title, section organization, subsection organization, picture integration, and template integration.
Page Title
- A page title should be a specific reference to the page topic.
- The title should be as concise and descriptive as possible.
- The title should be a noun, gerund or noun-like adjective.
- ex. "Jita", "Can Tipping", or "Red (standing)"
- If a topic is ambiguous or could be confused with another, a descriptor in parenthesis should append the title.
- ex. "Market Window" and "Market (economy)"
- If a topic shares a number of commonly used names, multiple pages should be created and redirected to a main page.
- ex. "0.0 (space)", "Null Sec", and "Null Security" should redirect to "Null Security Space"
Sections

- Common sections include
- "Exploration"
