<b>Punctuation</b> * Saint is abbreviated to St. with a full stop after it. This is to aid cross referencing between entries. |
I don't want to be all dogmatic and stuff, but I think it would help if we all kept to a reasonably common set of naming conventions so that the guide indexes nicely and it's easy for people to find things.
First off, naming pages: "The" should be left off the beginning of names. If you want to link to a place starting with "The", make the link [ [ Whatsit | The Whatsit ] ]. If a thing has multiple branches, the correct format is "Acme (Broad Street)".
Categories
- Category names should be plural; Restaurants, not "Restaurant".
- Important categories are: Pubs, Restaurants, Colleges, Societies, Off Licences.
Locales
- I initially copied the locales from http://www.earth.li/~kake/vegan-oxford/
- Important streets get their own locales, with the category of "Streets".
Addresses
- Oxford is implied, so should be left out.
Phone numbers
- 01865 is implied, so should be left out.
