Principles for choosing the titles of articles. Contains links to many topic-related naming convention pages. Wikipedia:Citing sources (WP:CITE) Guidance on organizing and formatting references. Wikipedia:Summary style (WP:SUMMARY) Method used when a section becomes its own article.
Unix-like file systems allow a file to have more than one name; in traditional Unix-style file systems, the names are hard links to the file's inode or equivalent. Windows supports hard links on NTFS file systems, and provides the command fsutil in Windows XP, and mklink in later versions, for creating them.
After moving the file, please replace all uses of the old file link with the new one. If a file name on English Wikipedia conflicts with a file name at Commons, please check the File usage on other wikis before deciding which should be renamed. Renaming a file at Commons might affect a lot of projects instead of just one.
Avoid making up new abbreviations, especially acronyms. For example, "International Feline Federation" is good as a translation of Fédération Internationale Féline, but neither the anglicisation nor the reduction IFF is used by the organisation; use the original name and its official abbreviation, FIFe.
The use of modified letters (e.g. those with accents or other diacritics) in article titles is neither encouraged nor discouraged; when deciding between versions of a word that differ in the use or non-use of modified letters, follow the general usage in reliable sources that are written in the English language (including other encyclopedias and reference works).
The general advice at WP:Stand-alone lists#Naming conventions (e.g. handling of nationalities, fictional subjects, etc.) includes glossaries as well, to the extent applicable. The sub-articles of multi-page split glossaries should follow the guidelines at WP:Naming conventions (long lists) to the extent applicable.
Standard article naming conventions apply: Generally, category names are based on what the subject is called in verifiable reliable sources (particularly for technical subjects), so that those sources may be used to support inclusion of information.
Before declaring the current title to be "wrong" with the "correct title" template (or one of the more specific templates), please consider whether the title you are proposing as "correct" would really comply with Wikipedia conventions, particularly Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters) and ...
