EverQuest 2 Wiki:Policy/Naming





This policy in a nutshell: Name articles after their exact appearance in the game.



These rules ensure that anyone typing the names of in-game details will be able to find the information they want. They also ensure that game skins and user interface modifications can link directly to the correct information from inside the game itself.

Quest articles
Quests should be named exactly as they appear in the EQ2 quest journal. If a quest is repeatable, mention that in the text of the article but do not use the word "repeatable" in the title to account for the multiple times you can complete the quest. If there are two or more quests by the same name, given by different NPCs, you should disambiguate them by: For example, the quest An Important Delivery has two versions, one named An Important Delivery (Lesser Faydark) and one named An Important Delivery (Kylong Plains). A single page was created for the quest name and two pages link from it, one for each of the zones in which the quest appears.
 * 1) making an article with the name that is shared by the quests, then
 * 2) making an article for each of the quests that share the name but distinguish them by the zone in which they start.

Named monster articles
Named monster articles should exactly match the name of the monster that appears in game. If multiple versions of the named monster appear in game with exactly the same name, you should disambiguate them by:
 * 1) making an article with the name that is shared by the various versions of the named monster, then
 * 2) making an article for each of the versions that share the name but distinguish them by the difficulty (e.g., solo, heroic, epic) or the zone in which they appear.

Monster articles
Monster articles should exactly match the name of the monster that appears in game, including any preceding words such as "an," "an" or "the." If multiple versions of the named monster appear in game with exactly the same name, you should disambiguate them by:
 * 1) making an article with the name that is shared by the various versions of the named monster, then
 * 2) making an article for each of the versions that share the name but distinguish them by the difficulty (e.g., solo, heroic, epic) or the zone in which they appear.

NPC articles
Non-player characters, or NPCs, should exactly match the name of the character that appears in game. If multiple versions of the same character appear in game with exactly the same name, you should disambiguate them by: For example, the NPC, Zha Gu'Lau, involved in the Cazic-Thule deity quest line, appears in multiple zones of the game. A disambiguation page was created for the NPC name, and that page points to each of the various versions of Zha Gu'Lau that appear during the quest line.
 * 1) making an article with the name that is shared by the various versions of the character, then
 * 2) making an article for each of the versions that share the name but distinguish them by the zone in which they appear.

Guild pages
Guild pages should always appear with the name of the guild and the word "guild" in parentheses. For example, the guild Vainglory plays on the Blackburrow server. Their guild page name appears as Vainglory (Guild).

Personal articles and player characters
All personal articles including player character pages should be located as user pages or subpages of the author's user page. For example, user Kodia has a game character by the same name and has chosen that name as her user page name by which most people know her. She also has a personal article page tracking the house-placeable books she has collected in game. This library list is included as a subpage of Kodia's user page.
