ICE List:Data Standards & Naming Rules

ICE List:Data Standards & Naming Rules

This page outlines the required formatting, naming conventions, and structural rules for all pages created within the ICE List wiki. These rules ensure consistency across all agents, incidents, facilities, vehicles, and agreements, and allow automated queries, categories, and templates to function properly.

General principles

All pages must follow:

• Clear, precise naming
• Consistent formatting
• Standardised infobox templates
• Correct categorisation
• Verifiable sourcing wherever possible

Pages that violate naming rules or structure may break automatic lists, state portals, and semantic queries.
