The following points have been a matter of long-standing stable consensus:


 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|20px]] The UN reference "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" will not generally be used in article text (except, according to some proposals, in the special topic domains treated in their own sub-pages, International organizations and Greece articles)
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|20px]] The abbreviation "FYROM" will not be used. (Note that ARBCOM has suggested that edits inserting "FYROM" instead of another name could be blocked out even by an automatic abuse filter.)
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|20px]] Other non-standard terms such as "Vardarska" or "Skopje" (used as if it were a country name) are of course excluded; edits inserting these should be reverted as vandalism. (Note that "Skopje" can of course occasionally be used as a metonymy for the political leadership of the country, just like the names of other capitals.)
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|20px]] The other entities called Macedonia can be referred by that simple name as a matter of course wherever there is no danger of misunderstanding; context-dependent disambiguation is used where needed, as a matter of common sense.
