Page Formatting
Page Title
A page title should be a specific reference to the page topic. ex. Iteron V not Largest industrial ship
The title should be as concise and descriptive as possible. ex. "Moon Mining" not "How to obtain T2 Materials"
The title should be a noun, gerund or noun-like adjective. ex. "Jita", "Can Tipping", "Red"
If a page topic shares a commonly used title with another topic, a disambiguation descriptor in parenthesis should append the title. ex. "Market (window)" and "Market (system)"
If a page 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
Major sections should represent the various interaction points for the subject. ex. under "Wormhole Space" sections include "Exploration" "Combat" "Industry" "Culture" "Fiction" "History"
