From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please note that there are several conventions regarding the naming of Wikipedia articles. The general principle regarding the names of Wikipedia pages is expressed thus:
Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.
or, alternatively:
Names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists.
Several specific guidelines regarding naming of pages (by topic, by title characteristic,...) are listed on this page: Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and in this category: Category:Wikipedia naming conventions.
Additionally, technical guidance regarding Wikipedia page names can be found in: Help:Page name. Related guidance, regarding what happens when two different names should refer to the same article, or when a single name refers to several meanings that each deserve their own article can be found in Wikipedia:Redirect and Wikipedia:Disambiguation. How and when to include a namespace qualifier in a page name is explained in Wikipedia:Namespace.
Guidance on changing page names can be found in: Help:Moving a page. When you're not sure whether renaming a page is appropriate or desirable, please consult Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thanks for collaborating!
