		The month names derived from English are still in very common use in spoken and even written Maori.
		As they are distinctly shorter than most of the recently reintroduced names (derived from Elsdon Best), they are used here in dates, including the (eventually 366) articles for the days of the year.

		Existing wikibooks that do not follow these conventions are highly recommended to move their pages appropriately so that they conform to these conventions.
		In general, the naming conventions of a book should be enforced over the entire book, and new additions to a book must follow existing book conventions.
		The requirement for these pages to conform to naming conventions is less strict compared to modules as they often reside in the background.

	Wikipedia:Redirect - Wikipedia
		In accordance with wikipedia:naming conventions (precision) it's best to have an article at a well-defined, unambiguous term, with redirects from looser colloquial terms, rather than vice versa.
		If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be deleted immediately, though you should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first.
		If the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to.

		Generally speaking, failure to follow a single convention by itself is not justification for moving or revert-moving articles without consensus on the article's talk page.
		Convention: Use the full name of countries and organizations, except when the acronym is more commonly known and/or when the length would be prohibitive.
		Convention: Name your article using English and place the other language transliteration on the first line of the article unless the other language form is more commonly used in English than the English form.

		If you use the Safari browser on Mac OS X, you may find that the 60-second browser timeout is shorter than the amount of time it takes for your edit to be acknowledged, especially when server load is high.
		Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended).
		Do not use this technique to make the article name bold in the first paragraph; see the Manual of Style.

	Naming conventions - LISWiki
		Another naming practice is the choice of cutesy names and logos -- sometimes based on the region's mascot or something similar -- which may be of possible value for branding and marketing, but of no inherent meaning to new users.
		While this may help advertise products to users under a name that cannot be fully removed from the library's instance and which may be shared by other libraries, there are several dangers to this practice.
		Any time a library uses a vendor name to name or address a library service, they are potentially facing a situation like Houston Astros had with Enron Field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_Field).

		Leading and trailing spaces and/or underscores (_) are stripped, multiple spaces and/or underscores are squashed together to a single underscore, and page names consisting of only spaces and/or underscores are not allowed at all.
		Attempting to workaround using Unicode subscripts and superscripts does not work on all browsers (depending also on the installed fonts and operating system), and only a small number of subscript and superscript characters exist on Unicode.
		However, superscripts ¹, ², and ³ (which also exist on ISO 8859-1) do not have the same browser support limitations and can be used without problems, as long as a redirect from the title without the superscript is used.

	NamingConventions - Meta
		The arbitrary naming convention used so far is very inconvenient and doesn't contribute at all to AccidentalLinking.
		The argument that this convention makes it easier to search is obviated by the fact that, after all, people will organize all countries, all countries in Asia, all Muslim countries, etc., each on their own pages (in the near or distant future anyway), and more importantly, that a full text search is possible.
		While I think that the current wiki names (squishing words together with capitals) are often useful to writers, they can make pages difficult to read and explain to users new to wikis.
