Titles for News articles
As we create more and more News items and policies get added, I think we should standardize on a naming structure. I think it would be best to be consistent with other conventions on the forum (e.g. Posts) where we do two things:
- Dates in titles should be MM/DD/YYYY as they appear elsewhere on the wiki.
- I'm not sure that the "Dateline" that is in most articles is valuable either for searching or sorting items within the category, could this be dropped?
- Do we need to have the names in ALL CAPS?
- Should we just follow standard naming policy where you capitalize the first word, and then only proper names?
I'd like to propose a new format such as News:<title>_-_MM/DD/YYYY. Example: News:How_to_transfer_characters_between_accounts_-_08/16/2011
