View source for Naming conventions for templates

{{Naming conventions}}

Templates should have descriptive names where possible, but the names shouldn't be too long.

There is usually a space between each word in a template name.

Names are in lower case except for:

* the first letter of a template name is case insensitive.
* proper nouns should be capitalized: "James", not "james".
* acronyms and initials should be all capitals. For example: "AWM", "TNA".

== Exceptions ==

Some templates don't conform to these conventions for special reasons:

* {{tl|WarDiaryHeading}}, {{tl|wo95import}} and {{tl|DiscoveryData}} are only ever added to a page automatically, and appear on very many pages. Updating them is a low priority.
* {{tl|BritishBrigade}} will be obsolete once level names are finalised.
* {{tl|Longitem}}, {{tl|UF-hcard-org}}, and {{tl|WPMILHIST Infobox style}} are imported from Wikipedia and should keep their existing names.
