Bookmarking cheat sheet

The whole convention on one page. The details — and the why — live in the pages that follow; this is the quick reference to keep open while you scan.

The two rules

Every resolved signature gets a bookmark immediately.
Bookmarks and mapper entries must always match.

If both hold, anyone can drop into the chain and read it instantly. See why we bookmark this way.

Formats

Wormhole connections — see wormhole connections:

[NUMBER] [SIGNATURE] [CLASS]

K-Space connections (high-, low-, null-sec) — see k-space connections:

[NUMBER] [CLASS] [SIGNATURE] [SYSTEM] [REGION]

The return hole — the hole you came in through:

*[NUMBER]

The parts

Number — the system's sequential path number. Holes are numbered per system and each one extends its parent: home's holes are 1, 2, 3; the holes inside the 2 are 21, 22, 23. The number is both a unique handle and the route to the hole.
Signature — the letters only, no numbers (ABC, not ABC-123).
Class — C1–C6 for wormholes; HS / LS / NS for known space.

Examples

This is the bookmark list inside the 1:

*1
11 ABC C3
12 XYZ C5
13 DEF C2
14 NS QWE 1DQ1-A Delve

*1 is the return hole back the way you came; 11–14 lead deeper. The last line is a known-space exit — it keeps its path number, then follows the K-Space format.

Let the mapper name it

You rarely type these by hand — see let the mapper name it.

Copy name — right-click a connection, open Copy name, pick the side you're in, paste in-game.
Copy Bookmark — turn it on in Map settings → Mapping to copy the name automatically when you record a jump.
Prompt for Signature — also in Map settings → Mapping; the mapper asks which signature you jumped, turning logging into one click.

Talking about holes

The number is also how you call your position — see talking about holes.

"on the [number]" — at that hole on the parent side, about to jump in.
"on the [number] return" — on the far side, at the hole that jumps back.

Keep the chain healthy

Bookmark every resolved signature immediately.
Post every signature you scan — it takes ~10 seconds and saves the next person a rescan.
Add all connections to the shared map so routing works for everyone.
