Wikinews:命名常規
维基新闻，你也可以撰写的自由新闻源！

命名常規是一個教導人們如何適當建立、命名文章的指導方針。
一般來說，文章命名應該優先考量使用英文的人，使他們能夠容易辨認，不會感覺到模稜兩可，同時也將標題和文章內容自然地連結起來。
Following consistent conventions in both naming and linking makes it more likely that links will lead to the right place. 然而，這些共識並不是不可更改的規則，在維基新聞的發展過程當中，有些常規可能會過時，一般而言，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. But when in doubt, follow convention.

[编辑] General conventions
[编辑] Capitalization
Convention: Downstyle headlines are preferred on Wikipedia, but upstyle headlines are acceptable.
- Downstyle: "Powell to lead U.S. delegation to Asian tsunami region".
- Upstyle: "Powell to Lead U.S. Delegation to Asian Tsunami Region".
The Wikinews style guide, a proposed policy, says that downstyle capitalization should be used. In this case, only the initial word and proper nouns are capitalized. In upstyle headlines (in less-frequent use, is considered to be more formal), all nouns and most other words with more than four letters are capitalized.
Downstyle (aka minimal) headlines are popular with most online and many print media publications.
According to a recent poll regarding whether Wikinews should use upstyle or downstyle capitalization for headlines, downstyle emerged as the generally preferred method, but no consensus was reached. See: Wikinews:Polls
[编辑] 標點符號
常規: 文章標題是完整的句子，而在結束時不使用標點符號。
[编辑] Specify location
Convention: Use geographical location in titles to disambiguate where necessary. Use the larger geographical entity which is most internationally recognizable. (U.S., not state or city except when state or city is more relevant - "California Legislature defies U.S. Congress".)
Do not use location where unnecessary. For example: President Bush faces some tough questioning, not U.S. President Bush faces some tough questioning. Pope John Paul II dies, not Pope John Paul II dies at the Vatican.
[编辑] Use of dates in titles
Convention: Articles for peer review are not required to include a dateline in the title.
Dates of any form are not required in the title, neither are they prohibited from the title. The presence or lack of a date in the title is not justification for moving the article, nor for revert moving the article.
A poll to require dates for successful peer review failed to pass on Dec. 18, 2004.
[编辑] Active, not passive, voice
Convention: Use the active voice in article titles.
Try to attribute an action to someone: instead of "U.S. Troops shot by insurgents in North Baghdad" say "Insurgents shoot troops in North Baghdad, killing three".
[编辑] Avoid the use of acronyms
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.
Examples of the exception might be NASA, CIA, and AIDS.
[编辑] Use English words
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.
[编辑] Use common names of persons and things
Convention: Use the most common name of a person or thing which does not conflict with the names of other people or things.
[编辑] Be careful with special characters
Some special characters either cannot be used or can but cause problems. For example you should not use a piping character (|), an asterisk (*), an ampersand (&), a plus sign (+), curly braces ({}), or square braces ([]) in a title.
Titles must not begin with an interlanguage link code followed by a colon. For example a page with the title FR:example will produce a "bad title" error.
Also, for naming pages the restriction to ISO-8859-1 is strict, no characters that are not ISO-8859-1 may be used. See Special characters for a list of non-ASCII characters that are allowed.
See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions).
[编辑] Other specific conventions
[编辑] Focus Project
Building an article to track news articles focused on a specific topic, such as 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, are special Wikinews projects which require additional maintenance. There is no specific convention on naming such a project, however there are some suggestions for best practice:
- If the topic is a specific event in time, include a reference to the date in the title.
- Avoid overly-broad topics. "Betting Odds" could cover everything from all sporting events, to outcomes of political votes and celestial events. A narrower scope allows others to more easily determine if their work should be included or not. If possible, such a project should have a reasonably limited time frame, up to a few months, as well.
- Discuss the project on the Wikinews:Water cooler, to gauge support for the project.
[编辑] More issues
There are other specific issues still being discussed on the talk page, and at least one poll on Wikinews:Polls.
