[edit] Objectives

To align word usage and typography in Hawaiʻi related articles to give all articles a consistent "look and feel."
To record the results of past agreements and discussions over typographical issues.
As a general reference to educate non-Hawaii residents on unique aspects of word usage in Hawaiʻi.

[edit] H

Hawaiian

Always capitalized. Do not use ʻokina between the two I's (e.g. **Hawaiʻian)

When describing persons, refers only to persons descended from the aboriginal peoples of Hawaiʻi. Is not generally used in Hawaiʻi to refer to residents of the state in general. When referring to residents of the state, Hawaii resident is preferred, unless it is clear from the context that the persons in question are of Hawaiian descent.

Hawaiian Islands

Hawaiian monarchy

When titling articles about Hawaiian monarchs and members of the royal family, use the reign name (and ordinal as appropriate); e.g. Kamehameha III.
Do not use Christian names in the article title, nor the pre-reign name. Examples:
- Kamehameha II, not Liholiho.
- Kalakaua, not David Kalakaua.
Do not use "of Hawaii" in the article title; the names are unique enough to Hawaiʻi that this designation is not necessary. Example: Kamehameha I, not Kamehameha I of Hawaii.
You may refer to other given names in the article lead and body.

Hawaiian sovereignty

Honolulu

The largest city and capital of Hawaiʻi, covering the southeastern coast of Oʻahu. The City and County of Honolulu is the governmental entity, which covers the entire island of Oʻahu.
