Naming Conventions

Is there a rule on article naming when there is a "The" at the start? I know that many Technology-type article rename these, for instance Wheel (Civ2) instead of The Wheel (Civ2), with the latter merely left as a redirect.

Does this same logic apply to unique Wonders, or "Secret Projects" in this case?

If so I'll by happy to make the necessary changes, redirects, etc. Russ3Z (talk) 13:50, October 23, 2018 (UTC)

The convention - at least, since I started editing here back in the days of Civilization V - has been to render the names of technologies, wonders, and projects exactly as they appear in the games. If "The" is the first word of an entity's name, "The" will be the first word of the article name as well. However, it's encouraged to help readers find these articles more easily by creating redirect pages without the word "The" in the title, much like we have The Wheel (Civ5) and The Internet (Civ5) as the main articles with Wheel (Civ5) and Internet (Civ5) as redirects. -Mythril Wyrm (talk) 14:02, October 23, 2018 (UTC)
