Article titles[edit]
The conventions for titles dictate that all proper nouns are capitalized, as are all locations, and names unless specifically not capitalized. Any page title that includes a name should not be stored in a biographical format; i.e., "Homer Simpson", not "Simpson, Homer" as the page title for Bart's Dad. In cases where only a first name (Charlie) exists, that should be used as the sole title of the page.
Media names in articles[edit]
Each media type has a different representation:
- Episodes have speech marks around them, e.g. "Duffless".
- The Simpsons Movie has italics, as does every other movie and television show.
- Songs are always in speech marks.
- Books, games, comics, comic stories are all in Italics.
