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 you 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

Wormholes

Right click in space and look under Corporation bookmarks. The way back will be at the top, other WHs are listed below.

• 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 we find a k-space connection, we jump through a gate into the next system to look for more connections, if we find a connection we Bookmark the gates for ease of travel.

Examples:

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]

We do this purely because the transition between using bookmarks in w-space for travel and movement and using gates on the overview is jarring and when you jump into Eggs looking for 2 E2H and you can't find it due to its being a gate it is annoying and frustrates the purpose of our bookmarking scheme, which was created so we don't need to rely on the mapper tool for navigation.

Sites

Due to the recent increase in corp bookmarks (250 -> 500), you can feel free to bookmark sites in systems in our chains as you would normally do in Bacon.

Here are some things to keep in mind though: for example, if a system, let's say a C4 which is 8 jumps down the chain, has 27 gas sites and they are not anything that we would care to huff, there is no need to bookmark them in corp.

The basic idea is that having gas/data/relic bookmarks in many systems not too far down our chains not only provides us the opportunity to possibly run them but also (and this, in my opinion, is a bigger selling point) provides quick warp-in points on any gank-able fleets running said sites - without having to drop combat probes and very likely spooking them.

So again; feel free to bookmark sites in W-Space systems other than Bacon (and even in Low/Null if you find something that is likely to be run by locals). Just be mindful that we still don't have an unlimited number of corp bookmarks so don't go crazy if you see that we're closing in on 500.

• Bookmarks can be made from the scanning results list
• Standard format is "<sigtype> [sig id] <additional info>"
  • [sig id] = [ABC], [BCD], [EFG], etc

• There are 5 types:

(G) Gas Sites

Wormhole gas sites with hostile Sleeper enemies that spawn approximately 20 minutes after a pilot first initiates warp to the site. Only the first word of the signature name is important. Additional information can be added to the bookmark to indicate status of the site. "Act" followed by the EVE time of the initiation of the warp to the site will display the time the site was activated. This time is not accurate as the site could have been activated or cleared of rats by a different pilot at an earlier time. The activation time allows the maximum amount of time until rats spawn to be determined. 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.

• • G [ABC] Barren
  • G [DEF] Token
  • G [NMD] Instrumental
  • G [YUI] Vital

(R) Relic 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 in it, 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 [JHI] Conversion Module
• R [ADH] Evacuation Center

(D) 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 in it, it is a Null Site (see below). The first 2 words of the signature name should be omitted.

• "Unsecured Frontier Database" is shortened to "Database"
• D [ADF] Database
• D [DHI] Receiver
• 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

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.
