Article Names
Here are some guidelines for general pages:
 * Wikipedia's naming conventions
 * Wikipedia's disambiguation page

As a game, Doctor Who: Worlds in Time has its own special names, so the Wikipedia guidelines will not always be appropriate.

File Names
Uploaded files should be named clearly and plainly. All images should have the appropriate image tag included in the file description. The preferred image format is PNG. For images created by the Doctor Who: Worlds in Time community, please follow the following naming conventions:

Screenshots and Images
For images intended for specific purposes on the WiTki, the "name" needs to use the same spelling and capitalisation at the in-game item/article name. Often times, these standardised names are used in templates, so using the appropriate template will create red links for you to easily upload the image under the correct name.

Furniture & Decor

 * Inventory-Item_Name.png - An image of the box that appears when you over over the item in your Furniture menu.
 * Scene-Item_Name.png - An image of the item placed in a room, so that the scale of the item is obvious.

Wearables

 * Model-Item_Name.png - An image of the item on a player, preferably from the Clothes Menu page.
