Naming Conventions – Bohemia Interactive Community

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, its clearer what the topic is about and which game title the article refers to. It also makes linking to those articles much easier for editors.

Sort Keys

When defining a category for an article you should include a search key in that definition: [GameTitleName: Subject|Sort Key].
Otherwise the automatically created table of contents will sort everything under the GameTitleName.

Long Names	Short Names
ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead	ArmA 2 OA
ArmA 2	ArmA 2
Armed Assault	ArmA
Australians in Vietnam	AiV
Bohemia Interactive	BI (rather than BIS)
Operation Flashpoint	OFP
Operation Flashpoint: Elite	OFP:E
Virtual Battlespace	VBS1 & VBS2

Naming conventions for Mod names (so-called TAGs) can be found at OFPEC.
