 Like pages, the names of images are important and semi-permanent. Ideally when naming the images, name them as they are in game (with spaces). This allows them to be uniformly referenced, and it is easier to avoid duplicating image uploads. The wiki will automatically add underscores to replace the spaces, however when referencing the image, you can still use spaces. For example, "Image Small.jpg" will automatically be made into "Image_Small.jpg" by the wiki, but can still be referenced as "Image Small.jpg" in your pages. Because names are case sensitive a nonstandard name, such as Stone Icon.png, will not be recognized by templates expecting the standard format.

	Quest naming often has a large arbitrary component because although Turbine internally assigns a name to each quest, it is rarely made public, and in the few cases names have been made known, it is often long after the quest's introduction. In general it is up to the discretion of the first person to write up the quest to give it an appropriate name. For simple quests with a single item reward it is not uncommon to name the quest as '''Item Name (Quest)'''. For kill tasks name the quest '''Creature Name Kill Task''' and if there are multiple creatures that will satisfy the task, use the most common creature (or the class) to be hunted for the writeup page and create pages for all the other creatures that redirect to the writeup page. Categorize each of the redirects as a [[:Category:Killtask\|Killtask]] so they will show up if searched. If a single NPC gives tasks for different creatures and the tasks have discrete timers and rewards, make a quest page for each task.

In general it is up to the discretion of the first person to write up the quest to give it an appropriate name. For simple quests with a single item reward it is not uncommon to name the quest as '''Item Name Quest''' or '''Creature Name Quest'''. (Before April 2009 the Quest suffix was set in parentheses. After some discussion it was decided that parentheses should not be used, old quests are in the process of being renamed.) For kill tasks name the quest '''Creature Name Kill Task''' and if there are multiple creatures that will satisfy the task, use the most common creature (or the class) to be hunted for the writeup page and create pages for all the other creatures that redirect to the writeup page. Categorize each of the redirects as a [[:Category:Killtask\|Killtask]] so they will show up if searched.

	Capitalization matters <nowiki>[[This Page]]</nowiki> is different from <nowiki>[[this page]]</nowiki> which is different from <nowiki>[[THIS page]]</nowiki>. Try to use EXACT name from in-game. Since capitalization matters, it is important to use the correct name of a dungeon, item, creature, etc as it is displaying in-game. If you create a page using the incorrect name, and someone else wants to link to that entry later, they may end up creating a duplicate entry.

			Note: Wikipedia and many other wikis use lower case or first letter upper case (e.g., "Naming conventions" or "naming conventions") in naming articles, templates, images, etc. However due to the specialized nature of ACC Wiki wherein it holds only content related to Asheron's Call, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case#Headings_and_publication_titles title case] is the default for naming because that is what is used in game.
