Conventions

Pīnyīn 拼音, including tone markings, should be included for all Chinese terms. For the correct placement of tone markings, follow these rules (for full rules on writing pīnyīn, see this page on Wikipedia):
- If there is an "A" or an "E", that letter takes the tone mark. (E.g. Bèihǎi yuán 北海園)
- If the vowel cluster is "OU", the "O" takes the mark. (E.g. dòu 豆, Ōuyáng 歐陽)
- In all other cases, the mark falls on the final vowel. (E.g. Xióng 熊, duō 多)
The syllables of monastic and other disyllabic names should not be separated. E.g. 印順 is Yìnshùn, not Yìn Shùn.
Temple Names are rendered in the following manner: Guānyīn Temple 觀音寺.
- If the temple name is in the form "XX古寺", then the name should be given as "XX Ancient Temple".
- For XX講寺, use "XX Lecture Temple".
唯識 is translated as "Consciousness-Only", 法相 as "Dharmalakṣaṇa". 法相唯識 is translated as "Dharmalakṣaṇa and Consciousness-Only".
All years between 1850 and 1950 should be linked (like this [[1XXX]]).
