Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Guidelines

These are project guidelines on articles related to Wales. These guidelines were developed following consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wales or related WikiProjects with specific mentions of Wales.

These are general guidelines, some exceptions could be applied per local consensus.

Please ensure that all major changes to this page are discussed on the talk page and reflect consensus.

Naming conventions

Follow the UK-wide naming conventions:

• Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK Parliament constituencies)
• Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK stations)
• Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic_names)#Wales – Use "XXX County Borough" over "County Borough of" or "XXX county borough" in article titles.

County infobox images

• Image collages may be added to the infoboxes of any of the counties of Wales (former and current; incl. county boroughs), based on the guidelines at WP:ENGCOUNTYCOLLAGE. Any divergence from UKCOUNTIES should be decided by consensus.
• Editors are free to follow another guideline when compiling the infobox, such as WP:UKCITIES, if it is more appropriate for the article. Consensus should be gained before changing which guideline is followed.
• When writing captions, pay particular attention to MOS:GEO and WP:NCGN (e.g. use the same name as the article title).

WP:ENGCOUNTYCOLLAGE

Example collage Infoboxes may contain image collages, but they should consist of no more than four images in no more than three rows. These limits may be exceeded only if there is a compelling reason to do so, subject to local consensus. The images should be captioned beneath the collage. The images selected for the collage should represent the county thematically, for example by including prominent cultural, historic, or natural landmarks. It is desirable for at least one major settlement to be represented. Images should be carefully selected to ensure they are legible at small size, and where possible they should form a coherent whole. The example is taken from Devon. It shows two natural features, a landmark in a major city, and a distinctive breed of pony, therefore giving an overview of the county. The images are arranged so that they can be seen clearly and their colours complement each other.
