Please be sure to choose the names for your pages well, as that's going to be one of the prime ways that people seach this Wiki. Here's two simple naming conventions we suggest:
	## If you're creating a singleton page (usually a single resource for a game) give it the best name you can, using underscores between words. Examples: The_Adventure_of_the_Reluctant_Bride (a Pendragon adventure) and The_Altar_of_Blood (a Stormbringer Location).		## If you're creating a singleton page (usually a single resource for a game) give it the best name you can, using underscores between words. Examples: The_Adventure_of_the_Reluctant_Bride (a Pendragon adventure) and The_Altar_of_Blood (a Stormbringer Location).
	## If you're creating a game system, a large background, a full supplement for a book or something else that will span multiple pages, use a colon separated name, with a general name for your pages, a colon, then a specific page. I suggest, as a good mnemonic, using the word Main_Page for the first page in a multiple page set. Example: [[YKAdventures:Main_Page]](the main page of a pseudo-supplement for Stormbringer).		## If you're creating a game system, a large background, a full supplement for a book or something else that will span multiple pages, use a colon separated name, with a general name for your pages, a colon, then a specific page.

Example: [[YKAdventures:Main_Page]] (the main page of a pseudo-supplement for Stormbringer; go take a look, as I've tried to set up the pages as a good example of a project).
	# '''List Categories.''' Be sure to list at least one category at the top of each of your pages. This looks like this: <nowiki>[[Category:Stormbringer Fifth]]</nowiki>. The category should generally match the game system for which your content is intended, or else the name of your system you're creating, or else 'Generic', 'Generic Fantasy', etc. Also try and be consistent in your use of category names; everything currently being used can be found at [[Special:Categories]]. By using categories and being consistent you'll make it easier for everyone else to find your content.		# '''List Categories.'''
