Wikipedia:WikiProject Rocketry/Naming conventions


 * All disambiguators that are not part of the rocket or missile's official name should be in parenthesis.
 * Titles for missiles should follow one of the following formats (in order of preference).
 * [Official designation] [Name] (eg PGM-17 Thor).
 * [Name] or [Official designation], if one is not available (eg. V-2).
 * [Name] (missile) or [Official designation] (missile) if one is not available, and the other is ambiguous (eg R-36 (missile)).
 * Local designations should take precedence over NATO and US Library of Congress designations (eg. R-7 Semyorka not SS-6 Sapwood).
 * Families of rockets should be disambiguated using (rocket family) where there is ambiguity.
 * Individual rockets should be disambiguated using (rocket) when there is ambiguity.
 * When there is no ambiguity, there should be no disambiguation.
 * Within families of rockets, there should be an overview article for the family, and individual articles for the variants.
 * In some cases subgroups of a family can have their own articles.
