Bulbapedia:Starting an article: Difference between revisions

For instance, to create a BulbaPedia page about DVs, I would type in my address bar: <nowiki>http://www.bulbagarden.net/pedia/DVs</nowiki>, and then proceed to edit that page.  

All Bulbapedia article titles not beginning with a number will have the first letter capitalized.  i.e., if you were to write ...pedia/gold_version in the browser bar, it would be interpreted as 'Gold version'.  Note that the v in 'version' would ''not'' be capitalized unless specified.  Apostrophes will work in the link, i.e. <nowiki>http://www.bulbagarden.net/pedia/Bulbagarden's_history</nowiki>. However, it's advisable to not use apostrophes as they can generally be avoided in the title, as in the above case by just titling it "History of Bulbagarden".

Page title conventions in a Wiki community dictate that all proper nouns are capitalized regardless of their placement in a title, wheras all other words are not capitalized.  Therefore, in a title, Pikachu, Lt. Surge, and Vermillion City would all be capitalized, but a page entitled Electric_surge would not have the 's' in surge capitalized.  Book or game titles are considered proper nouns.
