==Titles==
* Almost all titles '''Capitalisation'''<br />Titles in a wiki adhere to the general principle use ''lower case'' letters on all pages that all words are written with minor lettersnot named after a name, and only use capitals so that they easily can be added in titles (examplesentences.<ul>Example: [[media coverage]] versus [[High Heavens]]). </ul>{{WikiTitle}} itself transform automatically change the first letter of any title to a capital letter, which is unimportant for the naming. ItPlease ignore that since it's the equivalent of the just capitalised like a first word of a sentence. This holds true with articleswould be, boilerplates, categories and templatesit's not really part of the title. If <br /><br />Only use capital letters in doubt, check with other contributors. Where any page title if it's a name, use double capital letters.<br /><br />* '''Singular'''<br />Pages are almost exclusively used in singular. Use the singular form for making new articles in all cases it's possible.<ul>Example: "[[DisambiguationBarbarian]]" instead of "[[Barbarian]]s" and "[[Skill]] instead of "[[Skill]]s (cases where two articles or two categories ".</ul>The reason is again to allow easy use of the links in sentences. ''This does not apply to Categories.''<br /><br />* '''Name Conflicts'''<br />When more than one thing exist with the same name mean completely different things) , make a [[Help:Disambiguation|disambiguation]]. When you name the new articles, use a space and a parenthesis with a clarification like thisstandard:<ul>Example: [[Barbarian]], [[Barbarian (Diablo II)]] and [[Barbarian (Diablo I)]].</ul>Keep the ''main usage'' without parenthesis, and let the ''secondary or outdated'' usage display what they belong to - in thiscase the specific game.<br /><br />* '''Categories'''<br />All [[Help:Category|categories]] are exceptions to the above. They use the ''plural'' version of the word, since they contain multiple other articles.<ul>Examples: [[: Category:Factions]], [[:Category:Locations (lore)Classes]], [[:Category:Skills]]. The word in the parenthesis is always minor letters.</ul><br />* '''Game Names'''<br />On a page, you can name the [[ArticleDiablo game]]s are almost exclusively used in singular (any way you want: "Diablo I", "BarbarianDiablo 2" instead of , "BarbariansDiablo III" etc). If it is at all possible to use singular formHowever, do so.the official DiabloWiki game names used in titles are:** [[Diablo I]]** [[Diablo: Hellfire]]** [[Diablo II]]** [[Diablo II: Lord of Destruction]]** [[CategoryDiablo III]] titles use <br /><br />* '''Redirects'''<br />When a similar logic to articles, where a two-worded category title uses for a minor letter for the second word like this: page is made, make sure to [[Help:Category:Art booksRedirect|redirect]]plurals and other variations of the spelling to the main article, so that when people randomly make links, they will links somewhere, even if the link needs to be fixed later. Categories Also good for links made from forums, blogs etc.<br /><br />* '''Exceptions'''<br />There are almost exclusively used in plural ("Category:Maps" instead of "Category:Map")exceptions to the above, but let more experienced editors deal with those.
