 == Names of people ==
-Names of people should not use hyphens. They should be written in the "Familyname Namename" structure. For example, for the first President of the People's Republic of China (PRC), use ''Mao Zedong'', '''not''' ''Mao Ze-dong'', ''Mao Tsetung'', ''Mao Tse-tung'', or any casing variant of those (''Mao Tse-Tung'', etc). Similarly, for the 7th President of the PRC, use ''Xi Jinping'', '''not''' ''Xi Jin-ping'' or other variants. This also applies to names that are presumed to be Chinese in origin; write {{short|ch737|Yang Wenli}}, '''not''' ''Yang Wen-li'' or ''Yang Wen-Li''.
+In addition to following Pinyin, the following rules apply to names of people: the second given name should be directly glued to the first given name, without separating them by hyphens, and starting the second given name with a lowercase letter. They should be written according to the following template/structure: "Familyname Namename". Examples:
+* For the first President of the People's Republic of China (PRC), use '''''Mao Zedong'''''. For his name, '''DO NOT''' write: ''Mao ZeDong'', ''Mao Ze-dong'', ''Mao Ze-Dong'', ''Mao Tsetung'', ''Mao TseTung'', ''Mao Tse-tung'', ''Mao Tse-Tung'', or other variants.
+* For the 7th President of the PRC, use '''''Xi Jinping'''''. For his name, '''DO NOT''' write: ''Xi JinPing'', ''Xi Jin-ping'', ''Xi Jin-Ping'', or other variants.
+This also applies to names that are presumed to be Chinese in origin. For example, use {{short|ch737|'''Yang Wenli'''}}. For his name, '''DO NOT''' write: ''Yang Wen-li'', ''Yang Wen-Li'', ''Yang WenLi'', or other variants.
