Wikipedia:Naming conventions (years in titles)

There are many events that repeat on a regular or semi-regular basis, such as the Summer Olympics or the U.S. presidential elections. For important events, we will want a seperate article for every time the event was held. For such events, one question that arises is: "What's the best way to disambiguate this series of articles?".

We recommend using a name like U.S. presidential election, 2000. Slightly less recommended, but also popular, is the 2000 Summer Olympics style.

We recommend against titles of the following forms:

If you wish to create redirects from these non-conventional forms, please do so, but please try to create articles in one of the conventional forms.

Some older pages do not conform to this convention. They will eventually be moved over to the new format, but there's no rush.
