===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]]'''.
The see listed should be the last see that the bishop held. In cases where the surname is known but the see is not, the usage is '''Firstname (Surname)'''.
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'''.
