Naming conventions for new articles and pages

What would a wiki be without naming conventions for pages? This is what's worked for us so far:

  • ArticleFooBar - an article, HOWTO, or other non-reference page (example: ArticleFlashSecurity)
  • ObjectFooMethod - a reference page on the object.foo method (example: WindowStopMethod)
  • ObjectBarProperty - a reference page on the document.bar property (example: ScreenColorDepthProperty)
  • FooObject - a reference page on the foo object, which may have its own properties and methods (example: ScreenObject)
  • FooElement - a reference page on the foo element (example: AElement)
  • FooBarAttribute - a reference page on the bar attribute of the foo element (example: ATargetAttribute)
  • BarAttribute - a reference page on the bar attribute which is allowed on any element (example: AccesskeyAttribute)
  • FooCSSProperty - a reference page on a specific CSS property (example: BorderLeftCSSProperty)
  • FooCSSColor - a reference page on a specific CSS color keyword (example: PapayawhipCSSColor)
  • FooCSSPseudoClass - a reference page on a specific CSS pseudo-class (example: HoverCSSPseudoClass)
  • MetaFoo - a meta-page about the project itself (like this page on naming conventions)
