Grand Theft Wiki:Titles: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

*Short form: [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]] (without colon)

Note that [[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]] use english numbers (1 and 2), whilst [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] use roman numberals (III and IV). We must follow the ~~convention~~ of ~~the~~ game~~'s actual name. Also note that the numbered games do not have colons in the title ([[Grand Theft Auto III]] vs [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]])~~.

It is acceptable to link to either the full or short form of game titles.

Abbreviated titles (GTASA) ~~can~~ be used ~~as codes in~~ large tables, ~~but never in text~~.

Note that [[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]] use english numbers (1 and 2), whilst [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] use roman numberals (III and IV). We must follow the convention of the game's actual name. The exception is [[GTA 1]] which is ''technically'' called "Grand Theft Auto" but we always refer to it as GTA 1.

Also note that the numbered games do not have colons in the title ([[Grand Theft Auto III]] vs [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]). Colons should never be used in the short forms.

Abbreviated titles (GTASA) should only be used where the game names need to be repeated many times. This includes large tables, long lists, or very complicated paragraphs that keep swapping between game names. Where possible, there should be a key to show which abbreviation means what. Never use these abbreviations as shorter links to be.

;For the game's own page:

Use the full form in the title and the opening sentence, ie [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].
