'''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" | |||
