Naming conventions

Overview
The purpose of naming convention is to easily decipher and understand what a file pertains to, what it is used for, and also to make searching for it easier. In this guide we will cover the naming convention that the Office of Commissions uses. However, note that it is entirely possible for anyone to use it for any and all files.

General
In all file names two things are to be noted and used, always. They are Camel Case and underscores. In Camel Case the letters are lowercase with the beginning letter of a new word capitilized with no space in between them. Underscores are used in place of spaces. Below are some examples, without the file extensions.

Avatars
In avatars, the last name of the captain is placed first. Then after the name comes the description of what the file is, an avatar. Then if it is a forum avatar the additional description is used. Several examples follow.

Armorial Achievements
Each Armorial Graphic is uploaded to the wiki for someone to use in the making of Armorial Achievements and are thus tagged with the 'ArmorialGraphics' to facilitate searching for them.

In addition, the finished personal Coat of Arms have the name of the bearer first, then the category of the file. For example:

Flags and Sails
With flags and sails, the file type always comes first then the last name of the bearer or organization. See the example table below.

Signatures
The format for signatures follows as FileType_Firstname_Lastname.

Awards
Awards are formatted thus: FileType_AwardAbbreviation.

Miscellaneous
Files listed as miscellaneous do not follow any specific sort of pattern except the general usage of underscores and camel case.
