* '''@eddit''': Please keep the following points in mind when editing the cargo/upgrades/weapons/etc... pages in the wiki. I know you already did most of this, but one point (about '''single entries''') is a point that needs to be changed (IMO). [[User:pontiac|Pontiac]] 11:05, 24 May 2005 (PDT)
** '''Categories''' (the ones starting with [Category:xxx]) should always be in plural (as in "Upgrade'''s'''", "Weapon'''s'''", "Cargo" etc...). e.g [Category:Upgrades:Repair Systems].
** '''Summary pages''' (e.g the [[Weapons]] page or 'sub'-summary pages like [[Upgrades:Afterburners]]) should be in plural as well. [[Upgrades:Afterburners]] is perfect. Where for 'sub'summry pages ''all'' the terms are written in plural ( [Upgrade'''s''':Afterburner'''s'''] .
** '''Single entries''' (like the 'wrong' <code>[Upgrades:mult_afterburner01]</code>) should use '''singular''' e.g [[Upgrade:Multiple afterburner (Level 1)]] (Don't know what the 'mult' stands for right now.)
** '''Speaking/meaningful names''' Do not use 'mult_afterburner01', but instead formulate a ''full'' description as a name. For auto-linking' we can easily create redirects. e.g [Upgrade:mult_afterburner01] redirects to ['''Upgrade:Multiple afterburner (Level 1)''']
* This 'rules' aren't yet in the [[VsWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] but will be soon. See [[VsWiki:Manual of Style#Database entry names|Manual of Style -> Database entry names]] [[User:pontiac|Pontiac]]
* Finally a tip if you are moving/renaming pages. You can use the [Move] button on the top to move and redirect pages to new locations. Even the talk pages are moved an redirected. Linking/redirecting from a misspelled page to the correct one is the way to go. Even it the pages is name completly wrong. [[User:pontiac|Pontiac]]

		+	*Argh, I found this discussion page much too late. In particular the part about Categories being plural which is contradicting the category discussion and the final descision on category names cf. [[Category_talk:Database#example 4]] there it's Category:Faction here it's Category:Factions.
		+	So, which one is now the way to go? [[User:Zeog\|Zeog]] 14:39, 3 January 2006 (PST)
