SL Conventions Discussion
    Keywords: SL description

Important parts of this discussion are on these pages:

May 19, 2003

Charles I suppose the conventions business is always going to be evolutionary; but keeping score seems of some interest. As far as I can see there may be these four categories in which to classify:

Generally accepted

  1. Oriental names with family name first
  2. Chinese names romanised with Pinyin (even for Taiwanese players)
  3. Korean names romanised with McCune-Reischauer
  4. For Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese players in Japan, use Japanese reading (e.g. Rin Kaiho, Ryu Shikun)
  5. Home pages to carry Home Page as as Page Type, editing to respect the space, such pages only to be created by the person in question
  6. People keyword to indicate non-Home Page, freely created and editable

Recommended by some

  1. Go terms in English as default
  2. Names in game description in White-Black order
  3. Titles labelled by term number (not year)

Deprecated by some

  1. Overuse of Japanese words
  2. Keywords on home pages
  3. Attack & Defence keyword
  4. 6p/6d convention for pro/ama grades

Deprecated by some and recommended by others

  1. [ext] CamelCase hyperlinks
  2. Capitalisation of go/Go
  3. Normal sentence capitalisation of page titles
  4. Making this sort of list :)

Line Length

Anonymous: Please do not use lines with length greater than 80, it makes the ``diff'' unreadable in the Recent Changes.

Arno Hollosi: That is not always possible. E.g. list items have to be in one line. I have added a quick hack that tries to underline small changes in long lines (e.g. correction of a typo). It works quite well. I hope that solves the problem sufficiently.

Dashes

Arno Hollosi: I'd like to add that the "no more than four dashes" is questionable. Personally, I just hit '-' a couple of times (or press until auto-repeat sets in).
