This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently. For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

The Wormhole Community uses a set of rules and guidelines to generate logical names for the many wormhole space bookmarks it needs to keep.

Bookmarks are vital. Bookmarking correctly is a job that everyone participates in, but can be a matter of life and death that WHC members get these right.

• This bookmark naming scheme explains how we NAME BOOKMARKS in wormhole space
• This system naming scheme explains how we NAME SYSTEMS in wormhole space
• The what to bookmark guide explains WHAT SHOULD BE BOOKMARKED in wormhole space

Bookmarking

Bookmarks are essential to navigation within J-space. Proper adherence to bookmarking guidelines reduces confusion, frustration, and excessive SRP requests.

Once a signature has been fully scanned down, its type, sig ID, and other information can be added to its bookmark. The image below shows how the probe scanner results can be extracted to create a data site bookmark.

• Standard format is "<sigtype> [sig id] <additional info>"
• [sig id] = [ABC], [BCD], [EFG], etc

Wormholes

• Please add bookmarks in K-Space to contain the chain on the mapper.
• Note that it is current community policy to bookmark all holes, including k-space connections into Innuendo (i.e. *Eggs, *1 Z1H, etc.)
• DO NOT BOOKMARK Wormholes from Scanner Results. Only Bookmark Wormholes while On-Grid from the Overview or in space.
• Just keep in mind when bookmarking that * gets the current system name while . gets the destination system name and you're good to go (see below).

Holes leading away from Innuendo

Wormholes which take you further away from Innuendo are marked with a leading . (DOT), and to facilitate navigation and easy of removal we add the destination system name.

Examples:

Wormhole	Bookmark
Innuendo -> Bacon	. Bacon [XYZ]
Innuendo -> Eggs	. Eggs [XYZ]
Bacon -> 2 B2L	.2 B2L [MNO]
2 B2L -> 3 B1	.3 B1 [STU]

Holes leading toward Innuendo

We mark the way home with a leading * (STAR, i.e., the star guides you home), and to facilitate ease of removal we add the current system name. Note that except for certain very rare cases, the bookmark for a hole heading "home" is unique for a given system.

NOTE: Do not use the destination system on * bookmarks. As a side-benefit, you can always tell what system you're in by looking at the * bookmark. NOTE 2: When you first enter a system, you will not know the sig ID, so enter it as [***] so people remember to add the ID once the system has been scouted and scanned. Examples:

Wormhole	Bookmark
Bacon -> Innuendo	* Bacon [***]
Bacon -> Innuendo	* Bacon [XYZ]
2 B2L -> Bacon	*2 B2L [XYZ]
4 B2 -> 3 B5	*4 B2 [MNO]
3 B5 -> 2 B2L	*3 B5 [STU]

End-of-life, Shrink, Frig, Crit, and Thera Wormholes (that are mapped)

If a wormhole is end-of-life, shrink, frig ("Only the smallest ships can pass"), or crit, we denote it in the mapper (by clicking on the wormhole connection) and denote it in the bookmark by appending EOL, SHRINK, CRIT, and THERA.

Examples:

Wormhole	Bookmark
Bacon -> Innuendo	* Bacon [XYZ] EOL
2 B2L -> Bacon	*2 B2L [XYZ] CRIT EOL
4 B2 -> .3 B1	*4 B2 [MNO] SHRINK
5 E2 -> .6 E1N	.6 E1N [NOO] FRIG CRIT EOL
7 V2 -> 8 V3 [UOX] Thera	*8 V3 [MRT] THERA

Gate to gate connections

Sometimes when a wormhole leads a k-space connection, gates are jumped to look for more connections. If we find a connection the gates are bookmarked for ease of travel.

This is done because the transition between using bookmarks in w-space for travel and using gates on the overview is jarring. When a WHC member jumps into Eggs looking for 2 E2H and can't find it due to its being a gate it is annoying and frustrates the purpose of thebookmarking scheme, which was created so we don't need to exclusively rely on the mapper tool for navigation.

Gate bookmarks cannot be added to the lootsheet.

Gate Connection	Bookmark
Eggs -> 2 E2H	.2 E2H Gate
2 E2H -> Eggs	*2 E2H Gate
1 Z1L -> 2 Z2L	.2 Z2L Gate
2 Z2L -> 1 Z1L	*2 Z2L Gate
3 Y1N -> 4 Y3N	.4 Y3N Gate
4 Y3N -> 3 Y1N	*4 Y3N Gate

Sites

Site bookmarks allow WHC pilots to engage in content in the chains leading from Innuendo, both of the PvE and PvP variety. Proper bookmarks allow for speed and ease of running wormhole sites, but also allows engagement of targets that attempt to run sites that have been scanned down. Follow the WHC What To Bookmark Guide for how far from Innuendo different sites should be bookmarked. Remember that not all signatures are eligible for claiming on the WHC loot sheet.

Unlike wormholes, site bookmarks can be made from the scanning window without warping to the site.

(G) Gas Sites

Gas sites in wormholes spawn hostile Sleeper enemies that warp in approximately 20 minutes after a pilot first initiates warp to the site. Only the first word of the signature name is important to denote the type of gas site.

• "Barren Perimeter Reservoir" is shortened to "Barren"
  • G [ABC] Barren
  • G [YUI] Vital

Additional information can be added to the bookmark to indicate status of the site. Add "Act" followed by the EVE time of the initiation of the warp to display the time the site was activated. Rats can be assumed to have spawned once 20 minutes have passed.

• Add "Act {time}" with time being the EVE time a warp was initiated to the site
• G [ABC] Barren Act 16:02

Once all waves of the site's sleepers have been killed, replace "Act" and the activation time with "Cleared" to show no NPC hostiles will show up.

• Add Cleared after the site name to indicate the site is safe to warp to
• G [ABC] Barren Cleared

(R/D) Relic and Data Sites

These wormhole sites are actually Sleeper combat sites with waves of sleepers and some hackable cans. Sleeper sites have "Forgotten" or "Unsecured" in the name indicating that sleepers are present. If the name does not have those key words, it is a Null Site (see below). The first 2 words of the signature name should be omitted.

• "Forgotten Frontier Recursive Depot" is shortened to "Recursive Depot"
• R [GHT] Recursive Depot
• R [HJK] Quarantine Outpost
• R [ADH] Evacuation Center
• "Unsecured Frontier Database" is shortened to "Database"
• D [ADF] Database
• D [FHI] Digital Nexus
• D [FJO] Trinity Hub

(ND/NR) Null Sites

Wormholes spawn the same type of Relic and data sites as those that spawn in NullSec, hence the "N" in the prefix. These can also be referred to as "Pirate Sites". As NullSec exploration sites are safe to warp to, this prefix is also used for HighSec and LowSec Data and Relic sites. Pirate Relic and Data sites should be labeled with the relevant faction (IE: Angel) with other parts of the signature name removed.

• "Ruined Angel Crystal Quarry" is shortened to just "Angel"
• NR [ABC] Angel
• ND [GHI] Serpentis

GHOST Sites

Ghost Sites are a fairly rare type of Data signature with the format "{size} {faction} Covert Research Facility". Because of the Pirate name in the description, they can be confused with Null sites, however they are dangerous if unprepared. Do not warp to them unless you know what you're getting into. In wormhole space, the {size} is always "Superior".

• Ghost sites should be labeled with GHOST
• GHOST [XAN] Superior Serpentis Covert Research Facility
• GHOST [EGK] Standard Guristas Covert Research Facility (low-sec)

(SC) Sleeper Caches

A fairly rare type of signature that can be quite difficult to scan down. These sites are puzzles with only one correct solution; all other solutions destroy your ship. Please read the Sleeper Cache page carefully before attempting one.

• Sleeper Caches should be labeled with SC
• SC [APP] Superior Sleeper Cache
• SC [ERY] Standard Sleeper Cache

(C) Combat Sites

When in k-space, Cosmic Signatures can be Combat sites. If they are to be bookmarked, use the initial C. If they are a DED site, they should be named by DED-rating and pirate faction.

• C [ISO] Radiance
• C [FOP] Gurista Outpost
• C [SVV] 6/10 Blood Raider
• C [OLK] 4/10 Angel

(E) Event Sites

During limited time events, special event sites appear in space that appear as combat, data, or relic sites. These event site bookmarks should preface the normal bookmark convention for that site type with an E. Data and Relic sites are refered to by in-game events as hacking sites, but should be bookmarked by what they appear as in space: Relic (ER) or Data (ED). If the event has multiple factions, name the site by the faction. Otherwise use a shortened version of the site name.

• "Guri Malakim Survey Base" is shortened to "Guri Malakim"
• EC [ABC] Guri Malakim
• "SoCT Survey Outpost" is shortened to "SoCT"
• ED [DEF] SoCT Survey Outpost

SPECIAL

There is only one normal member of the SPECIAL class, an extremely rare site called Silent Battleground that is only found in shattered wormholes. It is a no danger timed relic/data site with many cans and large m3.

• SPECIAL [ROI] Silent Battleground

Other Bookmarks

Perches

A perch on a site or wormhole allows pilots to warp without fear of landing directly on Sleepers or hostiles who may be at the site. Perches are made greater than 150km from where pilots would land if they warped to 0. Perches keep the signature type and sig ID of their parent signature so they appear next to their parent in the locations window. If additional perches are required, add the distance from the sites warp in to all perches.

• Perches keep the type and sig ID of their parent signature but with "~perch" added
• *3 Z1 [TYH] ~perch
• ND [EEG] ~perch
• If multiple perches, add distance
• *Bacon [PKL] ~perch 150k
• *Bacon [PKL] ~perch 300k

Deleting bookmarks

When a wormhole collapses, bookmarks in the system it lead to and any systems further down the now disconnected chain need to be cleaned up. By having the * bookmarks show the current system rather than the destination, the system that has been disconnected can be easily picked out of the Chain Bookmarks. Improper bookmark names increase the time and tedium of cleaning up bookmarks.

The EVE UNI Mapper should be updated at the same time to reflect the removal of signatures, systems, and chains. Always check in comms to make sure someone is not stuck down the disconnected chain before deleting bookmarks.
