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.

= 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>" </li>
** <code>[sig id]</code> = [ABC], [BCD], [EFG], etc

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.
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.
 
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).

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

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.
