Article Names

Here are some guidelines for general pages:

• Wikipedia's naming conventions

As a game, Spiral Knights has its own special names, so the Wikipedia guidelines will not always be appropriate.

File Names

• Crafting-Item_Name.png - Used for crafting item icons
• Equipment-Item_Name icon.png - Used for equipment item icons (armor, helmets, shields, weapons)
• Equipment-Item_Name Stats.png- Used for equipment stats (armor, helmets, shields, weapons)
• Item_Name-Equipped.png - Used for equipped items (armor, helmets, shields, weapons)
