Name links should contain the minimum distincitive unit, even if the name itself is longer.

Examples:

(Parentheses indicates which part is the link)

  • (Harald) Greycloak (OK)
  • (Harald Greycloak) (no good)

In addition, if several people with the same name exist, then PCs should use only the first name, and all others use the full name.

Examples:

  • OK
    • Father (Alexander)
    • (Alexander the Great)
  • No good
    • (Father Michael)
    • (Michael Bourtzes)


Corollary:

If two PCs have the same first name, then everyone should use the full name.

Note: wiki allows you to link to one page while giving it a different title on the page you're linking from. For example, if you want to link to page about the (Old Party) but you want to say (those jerks who started it all) on your page, you can do it as follows:

(Old Party|those jerks who started it all)
those jerks who started it all
