Introduction
The BI Community Wiki is attempting to maintain a consistent appearance with articles and categories. Please adhere to the following naming conventions when editing or creating an article. When creating new topics or categories, use the common practice of GameTitleName: Subject.
For example, List of Actions OFP does not sound as good as Operation Flashpoint: Actions List; this format is clearer about the concerned game and the mentioned topic of the article. It also makes linking to those articles much easier for editors.
You can use templates in the category name, e.g [[Category:{{arma3}}: Functions]] (result: Category:Arma 3: Functions)
Sorting Keys
When defining a category for an article you should include a search key in that definition:
[GameTitleName: Subject|Sort Key]
If not defined, the automatically created table of contents will sort everything, sometimes unsuccessfully.
One can use the following:
[[Category:{{arma3}} Functions|{{uc:{{PAGENAME}}}}]]
The uc: template will uppercase the given value, which is {{PAGENAME}}.
Wiki name templates
