OSP Wiki:Naming conventions

From OSP Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Page names are case sensitive, meaning that [[Gimp]] will link to a different page from [[GIMP]]. There are several exceptions to this rule:

  • The first character on the page name is always converted to uppercase. [[split toning]] is the same as [[Split toning]]
  • Namespaces are case insensitive. [[OSP_Wiki:About]] is the same as [[osp_wiki:about]]

Another thing to have in mind is that, in page names and wikilinks, the space character equivalent to the underscore character. This means [[OSP_Wiki:General guidelines]] can also be written as [[osp wiki:general guidelines]].


Now that parsing rules are understood, we can setup some guidelines for naming pages on the OSPhoto wiki. This guidelines are based on the ones used on the Wikipedia, the major project using MediaWiki.

  • Always use lowercase for page names (eg: "tone mapping" and not "Tone Mapping") so it's easier to write links inline with other text.
  • When using program names in page names, use the official way to spell it (eg: "GIMP" and not "Gimp"). When in doubt, a quick check to the project page should help.
