== Introduction == | |||
Navigating in wormhole space is different than anywhere else in EVE. Nearly every object in space is constantly changing, and two systems are only adjacent for a dozen or two hours at most. Wormholers, including Uni’s wormhole community, heavily rely on communally-shared bookmarks and third-party mapping tools to move around and find their way home. | Navigating in wormhole space is different than anywhere else in EVE.

Because navigation relies so much on each other, it is imperative that each member of a wormhole group uses the same conventions, nomenclature, and practices. Without these standards, bookmarking would be chaotic and incomprehensible. This page describes the naming, bookmarking, and mapping scheme used at WHC. | Because navigation relies so much on each other, it is imperative that each member of a wormhole group uses the same conventions, nomenclature, and practices.

Our home system is J105433, commonly known as “Cake”, in honor of WHC’s relocation on EVE University’s 20th anniversary. While each wormhole system has a unique identifier (usually called a “J-code” or “J-number”, as they always take the form “J123456”), navigating wormhole space solely by using these names would be a nightmare, as they convey nothing about where that system is relative to our home. Instead, we use temporary names which capture where a given wormhole or system is in the chain. Systems are always given the name of the wormhole that lead to it from our home. | Our home system is J105433, commonly known as “Cake”, in honor of WHC’s relocation on EVE University’s 20th anniversary.

'''Wormholes''' in our home system are each given a letter. The C2 static is called “A” or “Alpha”, the C3 static is called “B” or “Bravo”, and all other wormholes are given a different letter. '''System names''' always match the wormhole that lead to them, so every adjacent system to Cake is also named that letter. For example, the C2 system linked to Cake through the Alpha wormhole is also called Alpha. Every wormhole further out is given a number, which is appended to the name of the system it is in. For instance, the wormholes in Alpha might be named A1, A2, and A3, and the wormholes in the system called A3 might be named A31 and A32. If you run out of numbers, just start using letters (so a particularly well-connected A system might have A1 through A0 as well as AA and AB. | '''Wormholes''' in our home system are each given a letter.

The wormhole and the signature are not exactly in the same spot and the signature is always out of jump range. Bookmarking the wormhole from the overview makes travelling the chain much safer! | ||

'''Symbol''': <code>.</code> or <code>*</code> WHC gives names to ''wormholes'', and since each wormhole has two sides, any given name is used in two different bookmarks. The bookmark leading ''towards'' our home (which is located in the system further away) is prefixed with an asterisk (<code>*</code>), and the bookmark leading ''away'' from our home (which is locted in the system closer or even inside our home) is prefixed with a period (<code>.</code>). If you want to get back home, always jump the bookmark with a <code>*</code>. This is often called “following the stars home”, in reference to the symbol. | '''Symbol''': <code>.</code> or <code>*</code> WHC gives names to ''wormholes'', and since each wormhole has two sides, any given name is used in two different bookmarks.

If the bookmarks in a chain do need to be preserved after it has been disconnected (someone has been rolled out, for instance), move all the bookmarks with the prefix of the disconnected chain into the "Isolated Chains" subfolder. Do not bother moving non-wormhole bookmarks, as the content is no longer relevant. They will expire naturally. Once the disconnected chain is no longer needed, delete all the related bookmarks in the "Isolated Chains" subfolder. | If the bookmarks in a chain do need to be preserved after it has been disconnected (someone has been rolled out, for instance), move all the bookmarks with the prefix of the disconnected chain into the "Isolated Chains" subfolder.

There is a 500-bookmark limit on shared bookmark folders. If you hit this limit, simply sort the bookmarks by creation date and remove the 50 oldest ''non-wormhole'' bookmarks. | |||
