Editing User:Beligaronia/Proposed Naming Policy

This policy aims to set out guidelines for the naming of articles on The Coppermind.
==Disambiguation==
Where two articles would share the same name each should be located at "Page Name (descriptor)" while "Page Name" will be turned into a disambiguation page.

:*For example: The article regarding the Mistborn trilogy is located at ''Mistborn (Trilogy)'' and the article regarding the allomancer type will be at [[Mistborn (allomancer)]]. The article [[Mistborn]] serves only as an aid to navigation and should not be linked to directly.

==Redirects==
While all links should go directly to the relevant article, for ease of searching any related titles should redirect to the correct name.
:*For example: [[Jasnah]] should redirect to [[Jasnah Kholin]].
==Characters==
Where possible, character articles should be located under their full name if this is known. The only exception to this policy should be when the character is known primarily by another designation.

:*For example: The article regarding the [[Lord Ruler]] is not located at Rashek since this designation is not widely used in the books and only becomes apparent towards the end of [[Mistborn: The Final Empire]].

Titles or role descriptors should not feature in the article name unless this is the only way of referring to the character, or has been canonically stated either in the book or by Brandon Sanderson himself.

:*For example: [[Adolin's Mother]] is never given a name in the book thus her article naming reflects this. *I could have sworn she had a name.*
==Books==
The full title, as it appears on the cover should always be used.
==Other==
Will be decided upon later.
