Game Entity Pages
Game Entity pages refers to pages with 
in the game: Citizen profiles, newspapers, organizations, companies, and parties
- Game Entity pages should be named EXACTLY as they are in game. (This ensures that the wiki link works)
- When a game entity is properly spelled with a special character (accent mark, tilde, umlaut, etc) the page should be named as it is in game, however, the editor can use the Display Title template to change the appearance of the page name (see Editing for details).
- Important: User-created groups functioning in eRepublik (for example paramilitary groups) may be considered game entities!
Region and Country Pages
Region and Country Pages are also Game Entity pages, however, due to a current issue, entities with more than word in the title do not match the wiki page name.
- Pages for regions and country should be named as they are in the game
- Pages with more than one word in the title will have a redirect created for proper linking at the discretion of the Sysops
War Pages
Wars between two countries are usually named thusly - Aggressor country vs Defendant country (ex. Poland vs Spain)
- Wars between many entities such as a world or regional world are to be named by the eRepublik:WikiProject_Military
Other Pages
- Pages should not begin with an article (A, An, The) (example: Philippine Congress, not The Philippine Congress)
- exception is when it is the proper name of something
- Pages should begin with a capital letter, all subsequent words should be lowercase (example Trade embargo not Trade Embargo)
- exception is when it is a title of an article
- NOTE - THIS IS CURRENTLY BEING IMPLEMENTED
Exceptions
This is the list of article names that are used in the game with some or all capitalized letters:
- Income Tax[1]
- Import Tax[2]
- Gold and Extras
- Prime Minister
- Minister of Department* (See Minister for complete list of Ministers and also Talk:Minister for a warning about creating new minister positions.
These are also exceptions:
- Pages under eRepublik namespace
- Main Page
- Templates
Pages Other Than English
- Pages other than English should have an English page created first and then the translated page should be named with the language after it. (example: Profile/Magyar)
- More information about this can be found on Help:Translating Pages
Pages that begin with lowercase
Though many pages begin with lowercase letters - such as "eRepublik" - the page name is Capitalized by default (ERepublik). To change this use the display title template {{DISPLAYTITLE: eRepublik Rising}}.
