Call of Duty Wiki:Naming policy

This naming policy is a policy on how articles are named.

Battles
Though originally we titled battles by city (e.g.: "Stalingrad", "Berlin", "Saint-Lô"), it is more proper to title articles about battles starting with some variation of "Battle of" (e.g.: "Battle of Stalingrad", "Battle for Caen", "Second Battle of Tillet").

Characters
Characters in the games appear with their name being their rank and their last name. With the problem of people being promoted, titling an article about a character with their rank in the title is a bad idea. What about Private Kelly? Would we title his article "Private Kelly", "Corporal Kelly", or "Sergeant Kelly"? For this reason, articles are to be titled by their names. Not just their last name, their whole name (if a available). We would title Kelly's article "Stephen Kelly", rather than just "Kelly".

Levels
Levels are named as they are named as in their respective game.

Weapons
Weapons can be known by two things: Their military designation, or their given name. Going with one would be less descriptive than going with both, so it is best to title weapons by their military designation, followed by their name.

Titling America's World War II standard issue rifle "M1" might have some people know what it is, but for most people, a name is more memorable than a number. It may also be titled "Garand", but there's still some people who might not know what it is. Titling the article "M1 Garand" would be most descriptive.
