Brief summary of issue / Description of requested feature:

Fix inconsistency when talking about objects with an id number.

Steps to reproduce the issue / Reasons for adding feature:

  1. There are many texts about objects with id, see list here for example: https://crowdin.com/translate/mudlet/137/en-de#q=ID
  2. They use different writings and namings referring to these objects and their id
  3. Not sure which is the best way to align them. Need to think on it more.

Error output / Expected result of feature

Not sure, there were some discussions between SlySven and Vadi prior, but the results seem unclear. Capital ID seems set. Possible solutions include:

  1. room ID
  2. roomID
  3. RoomID
  4. roomId or RoomId (a strict camelCasing)
  5. Room ID
  6. Room-ID

I would actually prefer joint writing as in 2 or 3, but this can be confusing when the first word ends with a lower case L like label which will be labelID.

edit: Style 4-6 added. Can be rearranged like this:

  1. room ID and Room ID
  2. roomID and RoomID
  3. see 2.
  4. roomId and RoomId (a strict camelCasing)
  5. see 1.
  6. room-ID and Room-ID
    Capitalisation is not strict, but depends on locale (for example position in English sentence)
