Forum:SH Archive/Are There Guidelines for Naming Templates?

In looking at Category:Navigation templates, I see that templates seem to follow general patterns of naming conventions, although they aren't absolute. It made me wonder if there were in fact any guidelines for naming templates. I couldn't find any information about it at Help:Templates. As far as I can tell, the current conventions are as follows: However, there appear to be a number of exceptions. Are these indeed the guidelines for template naming? And if no guidelines exist, should they exist? -Thunderforge (talk) 21:56, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * If it is about a real-world product that has three or more words in the title, use an abbreviation (or prefix with an abbreviation, if it's a subset of that product). E.g. New Jedi Order -> Template:NJO
 * If there is at least two words in the title that are not capitalized in title case, the whole abbreviation should be in lower case. E.g. Knights of the Old Republic -> Template:Kotor
 * If it's about a real-world product that has less than three words in the title, or is about an in-universe concept, do not use abbreviations. E.g. Template:Jedi Covenant Conflicts
 * In general, stay away from Pascal Case and split words with spaces.
