In most cases, titles referring to a specific group should be kept singular, such as [[item]], or the previously-mentioned '''Pokémon Professor,''' rather than ''items'' or ''Pokémon Professors.'' This does not apply if the group name is plural; for instance, [[Eevee brothers]] is the correct name of the group, not Eevee brother. | In most cases, titles referring to a specific group should be kept singular, such as [[item]], or the previously-mentioned '''Pokémon Professor,''' rather than ''items'' or ''Pokémon Professors.''

For multiple characters that share the same name, use previously-established conventions when available. As a rule of thumb, characters may be referred to in parenthesis by location if in the same media. For instance, two characters named "John," one in the Advanced Generation and the other in Diamond and Pearl, would be John (Hoenn) and John (Sinnoh). If in different media, use the media descriptor; for instance, John (game) and John (anime). The same character appearing in multiple different media only receives one article; for instance, see [[Koga]]. | |||
Special characters, most notably the acutely accented e ('''é''') should always be used where appropriate; page titles should contain "Pokémon" rather than "Pokemon". When creating a page with a special character, also create a redirect from the plaintext version of that name (i.e., a redirect from Pokedex to [[Pokédex]]). | Special characters, most notably the acutely accented e ('''é''') should always be used where appropriate; page titles should contain "Pokémon" rather than "Pokemon".

===Some specific page name policies=== | |||
This reviews some specific page name policies. | |||
A species of Pokémon is always listed at Species (Pokémon); specific Pokémon should be referred to by their affiliation; for instance, [[Meowth (Team Rocket)]]. | |||
[[Elemental type]]s are always listed at TYPENAME (type); see {{t2|Fire}}. | |||
[[Move]]s are always listed as MOVENAME (move); see {{m|Hyper Beam}}. | |||
[[Trading Card Game]] cards are always listed by set; see [[Charizard_(Base_Set_4)|Charizard]]. | |||
