QBWiki:Naming conventions

Here a summary of how pages seem to currently be named. Please discuss if they are logical and how they could be improved on the talk page.

Number of names

The number of names something should have is one. Maggie Walker should only have links involving its name be "Maggie Walker", not "Governor's School," "Gov's School," or "MLWGSGIS," or anything else. Redirects, however, should be created for these alternate names.

Schools

• If it's a high school or university, drop any part of the name that indicates it's a school (examples: Seven Lakes, not Seven Lakes High School; Cistercian, not Cistercian Preparatory School; West Virginia Wesleyan, not West Virginia Wesleyan College
• If it's a name that is shared by multiple high schools or by multiple colleges, name the page so that it lists both the school (per the above) and the postal abbreviation for the state the school is in. Example: Thomas Jefferson (VA) and Thomas Jefferson (MO).
• If the name is shared by multiple schools in the same state, list the school name, city, and then state's postal abbreviation. Inaccurate example: Thomas Jefferson (Alexandria, VA)
• If it's a name that is shared by at least one high school and one college, give priority to the college and list the high school as a high school in its name. Example: George Mason for the University and then George Mason High School for the high school in the same city in Virginia.

People

• List them by their most common name
• If a name is shared by two different quiz bowlers, list their most notable affiliation in parentheses after their name?

Tournaments

• If a tournament name is shared by two different tournaments, list the hosting school after the tournament name in parentheses.
