→OrthodoxWiki Capitalization Style: Wikified and clarified a bit
A potential problem with this naming style is that a bishop may be transferred to another see, thus requiring the moving of the article to incorporate the new name. This wouldn't happen often, however, and having the move will be helpful if searchers are looking for the bishop under his old title.
== OrthodoxWiki Capitalization Style ==
The following items should be capitalized in OrthodoxWiki articles:
* ''God '' and ''Trinity''* ''Church '' (when referencing the Church catholic; not when used as a generic reference for a local church)* titlesTitles: ''Lord'', ''Lady'', ''Theotokos'', ''Christ and titles ''. * Titles with names, for example: ''Saint '' John, ''Apostle '' Peter, ''Bishop '' Basil, etc., '''but not ''' ''saint'', ''apostle'', ''bishop'', etc., as regular nouns* proper Proper names: ''Father'', ''Son'', ''Holy Spirit'', ''Jesus'', ''James'', ''John'', ''St. Pauk's Church'', ''Dormition Monastery'', etc.* Feast days: ''Pascha'', ''Annunciation'', ''Theophany'', ''Transfiguration'', etc. (however, within '''Note''': Within texts for a particular feast, it is not the title which is being referenced, but the event, so capitalization is unnecessary: "Your birth..." or "Thy nativity...," not "Your Birth..." or "Thy Nativity...")* O (as in "''O Lord''," or "''O Lady Theotokos''),")i.e., the vocative
Other terms (including personal pronouns for God) leave uncapitalized, so use ''him'' in the middle of a sentence referring to God, not ''Him''.
