#REDIRECT [[Bohemia Interactive Community: Guidelines#Format Guidelines]]
The BI Community Wiki is attempting to maintain a <u>consistent</u> 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 {{Inline code|GameTitleName: Subject}}.<br />
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 {{Inline code|<nowiki>[[Category:{{arma3}}: Functions]]</nowiki>}} (result: [[:Category:{{arma3}}: 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:
<nowiki>[[Category:{{arma3}} Functions|{{uc:{{PAGENAME}}}}]]</nowiki>
 
The {{Inline code|uc:}} template will ''uppercase'' the given value, which is {{Inline code|<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>}}.
{{Informative|See the interest of defining a custom key on a [[:Category:Arma_3:_Functions|Functions]] page: if custom keys were undefined, every function would be sorted under '''B''', for BIS_fnc_*.}}
