Editing Editorial Guidelines (section)

== Global Page Titling and URL Conventions ==
To ensure universal searchability, technical stability, and ease of academic citability across both international databases and the browser interface, all pages across the entire wiki must adhere to a strict ASCII alphanumeric character set. 

=== General Naming Restrictions ===
* '''No Percent-Encoding (% Codes):''' Page titles must strictly use characters that are never replaced by percent codes when a user copies a URL from their browser address bar. 
* '''Script Constraints:''' Page titles must be written entirely in the basic Latin script without any diacritics, macrons, or special accents (e.g., use ''Uchiyama Gudo'' instead of ''Uchiyama Gudō'' or ''Uchiyama Gudô'' for the literal page title/URL). 
* '''Permitted Characters:''' The permitted characters for titles are restricted to uppercase and lowercase English letters (A–Z, a–z), Arabic numerals (0–9), hyphens ( - ), and underscores ( _ ). Native non-Latin scripts and specialized phonetic symbols are strictly barred from core page titles.
* '''Cosmetic Masking:''' If a page title requires accurate diacritics or native East Asian scripts for correct academic presentation, the page title must still be created using the clean ASCII rule above. The <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:...}}</nowiki></code> magic word at the very top of the article body can be used to safely change the ''visible'' page heading for the reader without altering the clean underlying URL. (For example, <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Uchiyama Gudō}}</nowiki></code> will show "Uchiyama Gudō" as the page title, without affecting the URL.)

=== Encyclopedic Pages ===
* '''Standard Rule:''' Page titles for Biographies, Country Profiles, and Contextual/Topical Articles must be written entirely in the Latin script. 
* '''Original Names:''' Native non-Latin scripts (e.g., Japanese, Chinese, Thai) are strictly barred from core page titles and must instead be placed inside the introduction text.

=== Original Source Text Pages ===
* '''Standard Rule:''' The page title must '''never''' be the literal title of the text. Instead, it must utilize a standardized, alphanumeric archival code written entirely in capital letters.
* '''The Archival Code Formula:''' The code must strictly consist of three distinct components packed together without spaces:
# '''Author Initials:''' Exactly two initials derived from the author's romanized name, ordered with the surname first.
# '''Year Digits:''' The last two digits of the year the text was originally published.
# '''Keyword Abbreviations:''' Three letters representing the first letter of the first three primary keywords in the romanized text title.
* ''Example:'' An original source text written by Uchiyama Gudō (UG) published in 1908 (08) titled ''Museifu Kyōsan Kakumei'' (無政府共産革命) (MKK) would be titled: <code><nowiki>UG08MKK</nowiki></code>

=== Translation Pages ===
* '''Standard Rule:''' The page titles for all translated English texts must identically mirror the exact alphanumeric archival code of their matching original source text page.
* '''The Translation Suffix:''' To differentiate the translation from the source code, the code must be followed immediately by a hyphen and a capital letter T suffix (<code><nowiki>-T</nowiki></code>).
* ''Example:'' The English translation page for the text mentioned above would be titled: <code><nowiki>UG08MKK-T</nowiki></code>
