AoPS Wiki:Naming conventions

The follow page creates guidelines for the systematic names of articles.

Capitalization

The search engine is case-sensitive. Like in normal English usage, all proper nouns should be capitalized.

  • For laws, capitalize all important words, e.g. Law of Cosines and Law of Definite Proporitions.
  • Capitalize all important words in a term involving a proper noun, e.g. Riemann Hypothesis and Euler's Polyhedron Theorem.

Contests

For contest pages, the year should go before the contest name. If there is a compilation sheet of all of the problems, it should be located at YYYY Contest Problems. All of the solutions go to subpages at YYYY Contest Problems/Problem #. The answer key goes to YYYY Contest Answer Key.
