What *is* our convention on BC / BCE and AD / CE?

On the en: wiki, the year, century, etc pages are called "BC", but I 
think a majority of articles use "BCE".
I bumped into an article specifically about the naming system, which 
states that "BCE" and "CE" are now preferred, in general.

perhaps we should take our own advice?
