Mechanics
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.
== Capitalization Style Mechanics==The following refer to the various mechanics of writing for '''OrthodoxWiki''' articles.
===Capitalization===
The following items should be capitalized in OrthodoxWiki articles:
* ''God'' and ''Trinity''
Other terms (including personal pronouns for God) leave uncapitalized, so use ''him'' in the middle of a sentence referring to God, not ''Him''.
=== Italics ===
Use the <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> (italic) markup. Example:
:<code><nowiki>''This is italic.''</nowiki></code>
which produces
:''This is italic.''
====Titles====
''Italics'' should be used for titles of the following:
* books
* films
* long poems
* musical albums
* newspapers
* periodicals (journals and magazines)
* plays
* TV series
* works of visual art
Italics are generally used for titles of longer works. Titles of shorter works, such as the following, should be enclosed in quotation marks (""):
* articles, essays, or papers
* chapters of a longer work
* episodes of a television series
* short poems
* short stories
* songs
There are a few cases in which the title should be neither italicized nor placed in quotation marks:
* the Bible
* legal documents (examples: the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence)
====Words as Words====
Use italics when writing about words as words. Similarly for letters. For example:
*The term ''panning'' is derived from ''panorama'', a word originally coined in [[1787]].
*The letter ''E'' is the most common letter in English.
