[edit] Article name

[edit] Bolding

The first time the name of the article is used in an article, and only the first time, it should be printed in bold text (done by surrounding the name with ''' on each side). Also, if there is two names that mean the same thing for the article, both should be bolded for the first time. So, for example, if the articles name was "Foobar Rhinoceros" then, in the article, the first paragraph would go like this:

In the world of geology, the Foobar Rhinoceros is a fictional creature capable of transporting itself magically. The Foobar Rhinoceros, or, as it is called for short, "Foonoceros", enjoys eating meals of grapes, berries, and other random things.

Which, when coded in an article, the above would look like this

In the world of geology, the '''Foobar Rhinoceros''' is a fictional creature capable of transporting itself magically. The Foobar Rhinoceros, or, as it is called for short, "'''Foonoceros'''", enjoys eating meals of grapes, berries, and other random things.

[edit] Capitalization

• See also: Naming conventions

In naming an article, the first letter of it will always be capitalized due to technical restrictions. If the name of the article is a name, such as Nintendo Co., Ltd., Random Blueberry Productions, John Smith, all starting letters should be capitalized that are part of the name. If the article has an extension but still uses a name, format it like John Smith's apples, not capitalizing "apples". So, unless there is a reason for capitalization, don't do it.
