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

By no means should this be seen as the standard, I'm just trying to open a discussion that hopefully one day makes it into the Manual of Style. - padhg (talk) 10:12, 31 August 2016 (CDT)
