<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Consistent page names make the wiki searchable and organized. Please follow this format when creating a new cast page.<br />
<br />
== The format ==<br />
<br />
Cast pages should be named using the format '''[Year][Letter]''', with no spaces:<br />
<br />
* 1965A<br />
* 1988E<br />
* 2023A<br />
<br />
This matches the cast naming used in official UWP records.<br />
<br />
== Page title ==<br />
<br />
When you create a page in MediaWiki, the page name '''is''' the title. So if you create a page called "1988E", that's both the URL and the displayed title.<br />
<br />
Use the format above exactly — no "Cast" prefix, no spaces.<br />
<br />
== Special cases ==<br />
<br />
A few casts used non-standard naming:<br />
<br />
* '''2004 Fall'''<br />
* '''2005 Spring''' and '''2005 Fall'''<br />
<br />
Use those names as-is.<br />
<br />
== What if I'm not sure of the letter? ==<br />
<br />
If you're uncertain which letter your cast was, you can either:<br />
<br />
* Check the [[Casts|Casts by year]] index to see what's listed<br />
* [https://uwpiaa.org/contact/ Contact an admin] to confirm<br />
<br />
Don't create a page with a wrong or made-up letter — it makes cleanup harder later.<br />
<br />
== What if a page already exists? ==<br />
<br />
Great — edit it instead of creating a new one. See [[How to edit a page]].</div>Tech
