==Capitalization of page titles==
===Capitalization of page titles===
 
Applies to everything that has a page, so including files, templates, categories...


Generally each page title should (also has to) start with an uppercase letter. After that it should be capitalized like a sentence, so almost only words like the ones above should be capitalized.<br>

Unfortunately a lot of pages were created without following this guideline in the past. Please don't rename pages yourself, because that would break every time the page is linked to or similar. Instead let [[User:Paula]] know, so she will fix it.

=Order of projects in lists and tables=
==Naming scheme==
 
* {{Ic|What is Fediverse project?}}, e.g. [[What is Mastodon?]] is the scheme for basic guides on Fediverse projects.
* {{Ic|File:Fediverse project logo.svg}}, e.g. [[File:Mastodon logo.svg]] is the name of the official square logo of the project in color. If no svg is available, a png can be uploaded.
* {{Ic|File:Fediverse project.svg}}, e.g. [[File:Mastodon.svg]] is the logo in black.
* {{Ic|Fediverse project white.svg}}, e.g. [[File:Mastodon white.svg]] is the logo in white.
* {{Ic|Fediverse project full logo.svg}}, e.g. [[File:Mastodon full logo.svg]] is a long version of the official logo in color if that exists.
 
==Headlines==
 
Usually we use {{Ic|<nowiki>==Headline==</nowiki>}} for the largest headline in an article and then add on {{Ic|=}} for each level below. In cases where it's needed another level {{Ic|=Headline=}} can be added above.
 
==Order of projects in lists and tables==


The order of Fediverse projects in lists and tables should follow the order in [[Comparison of Fediverse software]].
