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 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]]'''.
Full titles are not included (e.g., '''of Antioch and All the East'''), but simply that of the primary see or sees (usually a city). Thus, if a bishop's full title is ''Archbishop of Springfield, Patriarch of All Illinois and Indiana'', the convention for the article name would be '''of Springfield'''.
Additionally, most sees will not usually have need of the ordinal (the I, II, III, etc.), so if the bishop is of a more minor see (as most are), the ordinal would be omitted, e.g., '''[[Anthony (Bloom) of Sourozh]]'''. It's typically used only to refer to the primate of an autocephalous church, e.g., '''[[Alexei II (Ridiger) of Moscow]]'''.
