 === Article and header names ===
 The first word in each article title and header should be capitalized, but words after that should only be capitalized according to the above rules (e.g., "Mountain path", "Roads to Dalpok", "Roads to the mountain").
 === Plural and piped links ===
 If a singular or similar article or redirect exists, please consider using it rather than creating a new link. Singular terms can be turned into plural links by appending the text after a link (e.g., <nowiki>[[Shaman]]s</nowiki> produces [[Shaman]]s but links to Shaman). Similar terms can be turned into piped links by appending the text you want displayed after the link target (e.g., <nowiki>[[HP|hit points]]</nowiki> produces [[HP|hit points]] but links to HP).
