Our bookmarking convention revolves around being able to navigate back to our home system. Let's say you have a C5 static you call "Bacon". There could be any number of wormholes in Bacon, but we always consider Bacon's static to be the "first" wormhole. Any wormholes that aren't the return hole or the static are given an arbitrary number. So let's say today's Bacon has a C4 static and a K162 from fellow C5 space. The C4 would be called Bacon-1 and the C5 would be called Bacon-2, and the bookmarks would look like:

Bacon-1 (C4S)[SIG] and
Bacon-2 (C5i)[SIG]

Where "S" indicates a static, "i" indicates a K162 (inbound) and "o" would indicate an outbound wandering. With such a system we navigate however far down or across chain we want, and end up with some long names such as Bacon-1.2.1.6 (to get to such a system one would go into Bacon, go through Bacon's static, go to the wormhole designated 2, go through that system's static, and go through the hole designated 6).

Gets to be a mouthful on comms but it's worked for us so far.

I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way.

Someone get Team Pizza in here to explain theirs, it's pretty convoluted. I've forgotten all the little nuisances, but it would eventually end up looking something like this: 121-11111

Anyway, most everyone uses a similar system to what we do, the first WH you find of any class is just that, each one afterwards gets a letter. Our static never has a letter, so even if you scan home and find another C4 first, it's C4a, static is always C4. ! denotes the way home. Carrots point which way the WH generated. BM starts with where you are, then where it goes.

So if our home system has an inbound C2 and C5, as well as our static, the bookmarks look like this:
Mayhem < C5
Mayhem < C2
Mayhem > C4

Lets say our static has an inbound C4 and their static C4, as well as the WH in, the bookmarks look like this:
!C4 < Mayhem
C4 > C4a
C4 < C4b

Team pizza just copied Norcorps original bookmarking system that NOHO uses, after they left NoHo. And no 121 could never go to 11111 Lol

It's not that convoluted once it's understood

How do you distinguish which C4 is static and which C4 is wandering, without first collapsing it and waiting for respawn?

It could if there was a loop. :P Mostly I just haven't used it in months so I don't remember how it worked.

You mean constellation statics? Since there's no way to tell, we just call one C4 and the other C4a. The important part is that an inbound can't be C4. This is one of those rules that came up from a confusing situation where someone had named them backwards. We missed a decent fight because of it.
