To write and edit North Korea-related articles, please follow these conventions. For conventions related to Korea in general and South Korea-related articles, see also Manual of Style/Korea-related articles.

Naming conventions
Unless it is part of an official title, do not use "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". Use "North Korea" instead. This includes all uses including article titles, leads, and bodies of articles. "Red x.svg The economy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, commonly known as North Korea) is centrally planned." "Green check.svg The Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the constitution of North Korea."

Romanization
For article titles and prose, use romanize names using the McCune–Reischauer (MR) system, with diacritics removed. Use the convention of hyphenation and capitalization: Surname comes first and is separated from the given name by a space. The first syllable of the surname is capitalized and separated by a hyphen from the second, lowercase, syllable:

"Green check.svg Pak Pong-ju is the premier of North Korea."

Exceptions to using MR are made when another name is commonly used in the vast majority of reliable sources. Regardless of difference in romanization, maintain the convention with regard to hyphenation and capitalization described above:

"Green check.svg Kim Jong-il was the supreme leader of North Korea."

Other romanizations and MR with diacritics can be displayed with Infobox Korean name.
