===Basic Style===
When creating articles about [[:Category:Bishops|bishops]], name the article with the following style: '''Firstname I (Surname) of See''', so if there is a bishop named Moses Jones who is the fifth bishop named Moses of the city Patriarchate of Springfield, the name of the article would be: '''Moses V (Jones) of Springfield'''. In cases where no surname is known, it is of course omitted, which will especially be the case with ancient bishops, e.g., [[John I of Antioch]]. Additionally, most sees will not usually have need of the ordinal (e.g., I, II, or III), so if the bishop is of a more minor see (as most are), the ordinal would be omitted. It's typically used only to refer to the primate of an autocephalous church, e.g., [[Alexei II (Ridiger) of Moscow]].
