This guide establishes consistent formatting and writing standards for CreatorPedia (cP) articles.

'''The "creatorPedia" Capitalization Rule'''

creatorPedia is intentionally spelled with a '''lowercase "c"''' and '''uppercase "P"'''—even at the beginning of a sentence, paragraph, or article title.

:'''Correct:''' creatorPedia

:'''Incorrect:''' CreatorPedia, Creatorpedia, CreatorPedia

This is not a typographical error. It is deliberate branding that mirrors the visual language of the [[creatorPedia:Logo|cP logo]]:

* '''c''' (lowercase) — The crescent moon. Humble, approachable, representing the partial visibility of creators. cP is built by fans, not gatekeepers.

* '''P''' (uppercase) — The quill. Authoritative, permanent, encyclopedic. cP content meets rigorous standards.

When abbreviated as '''cP''', the letters themselves project the logo's core symbolism: the crescent (c) and the vertical stroke of the quill (P).

'''In Practice:'''

* Article titles: "Prof GehGeh — creatorPedia"

* In sentences: "According to creatorPedia guidelines..."

* Beginning of paragraphs: "creatorPedia was founded to..."

This rule applies across all official cP communications, articles, policies, and public-facing materials.

== Article Titles ==

* Use the creator's verified moniker from their most authoritative platform

* If the creator meets [[Creatorpedia:Notability Guidelines|notability standards]] but lacks a unique moniker, use their username without the "@" from the platform with the most followers

* Capitalize major words (title case)

* Avoid honorifics (Mr, Dr) unless part of the professional identity

'''Example:''' "Prof GehGeh" not "Emmanuel Obruste"
