Names of the ''Portal'' [[Characters]] will generally be capitalized ([[Chell]], [[GLaDOS]], etc). Normally English nouns within a sentence are lowercased (atlas and p-body); however, when referred to within the context of ''Portal'', they are treated as [[Wikipedia:Noun#Proper nouns and common nouns|proper nouns]] and thus capitalized. Words and abbreviations of specific names should be capitalized unless referring to things that have become general types | Names of the ''Portal'' [[Characters]] will generally be capitalized ([[Chell]], [[GLaDOS]], etc).

This will also apply to names of [[Cubes]], [[Items]] and terms (''see [[:Category:Glossary|glossary]]'') within ''Portal'', however if the name has more than one word, any successive words should be title-cased. | ||
In the case of items prefixed with "Aperture Science", for example: "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device", we require the "Aperture Science" be exempt from the article name and references to the object of topic. The correct version of the above example would be: "Handheld Portal Device". | |||
Also keep in mind to avoid using and including unnecessary definite articles. For instance, avoid creating pages with titles such as; "The Enrichment Centre" etcetera. Instead use titles such as the following; "Enrichment Centre" etcetera. | Also keep in mind to avoid using and including unnecessary definite articles.
