Forgotten Realms Wiki:Naming conventions

Where appropriate, the wiki will use the Wikipedia naming conventions, with some additions. Where no precedent exists, the article should be named in a manner in keeping with the source material. If two or more possibilities exist in the source material, the newest should take priority.

Magic items
The names of magic items should be italicized (as though they were book titles) and should be all lower case, with two exceptions: when the item name includes a proper noun, in which case the first letter of that word is capitalized; or when the item is an artifact, in which case all nouns are typically capitalized. For example:


 * amulet of the planes, not amulet of the planes (italics)
 * bracers of defense, not Bracers of Defense (lower case)
 * apparatus of Kwalish, not apparatus of kwalish (proper noun)
 * Eye of Vecna, not eye of Vecna (artifact)

Prestige classes
Prestige classes should be written in lower case, except where proper nouns are involved. For example, arcane trickster or Harper agent.

Spells
Spell names should be italicized (as though they were book titles) and should be all lower case, except when a proper noun means that the first letter of the word is capitalized. For example:


 * fireball, not fireball (italics)
 * animate rope, not Animate Rope (lower case)
 * Mordenkainen's sword, not mordenkainen's sword (proper noun)
