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.
- Capitalize all non-trivial words in anything with any of the following words in it:
- Theorem
- Axiom
- Postulate
- Principle
- definitely do not capitalize these:
- Identity
- Rule
- Function
- Always capitalize mathematical terms like Cosine or Sine that are not part of the general English language.
- If in doubt, contact an sysop.

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.
Sections
Every non-trivial word in a section header should be captitalized without exception, like the title of a book.
