 The following items should be capitalized in OrthodoxWiki articles (some may seem obvious, but usage on these actually does vary):
 * ''God'' and ''Trinity''
-* ''Church'' when referencing the Church catholic; not when used as a generic reference for a local church
+* ''Church'' when referencing the Church catholic or a proper name; not when used as a generic reference for a local church
 * ''Tradition'' should be capitalized when referring to the mainstream beliefs and practices held by Orthodox churches to be binding on Orthodox Christians (i.e., "Big ''T''" tradition); it is not capitalized when referring to local traditions which are not binding in character (i.e., "little ''T''" tradition)
 * ''Scripture'' should be capitalized when referring to the Bible, though not when referring to the scriptures of other religions

 ===Articles not appropriate for OrthodoxWiki===
 Obviously, anything which has no direct connection to the Orthodox faith is not appropriate.  Further, some things which are characteristic of Wikipedia articles but don't make sense on '''OrthodoxWiki''' also should be left out, including the following:  year articles (e.g., '''1054'''), places whose significance goes far beyond its exclusively religious meaning (e.g., '''Constantinople'''), or major historical personages who had nothing directly to do with the Orthodox Church (e.g., '''Ronald Reagan''').  Certainly, all of these items may have something to do with the Orthodox Church, but their connections can be noted in articles about the events related in other articles which more directly bear on the Orthodox faith.
