Title

Titles don't usually take full capitalization (at least on the Wiki) unless they are names. - Snail 11:41, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Indeed. That makes articles easier to link to when their titles are embedded into a sentence. We don't have a guideline for this here at the FSWiki, though most wikis that I know of use the "Don't capitalize everything" principle. - TopAce 12:17, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Well if you have to remove the capitalization do it in all articles, like Stealthing Ships To Force Target Loss. --- Mobius
      • We'll have to create a bot to do this eventually I think. Though how exactly it's going to discern between names and titles is beyond me. - Snail 12:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
        • Or we may leave capitalized names as they are. As far as I'm concerned they're not a big problems...contents are more important. Diverting the contributors' attention to "decapitalization" may be a waste of time. --- Mobius
          • Linking them is more difficult, because you've got to always use the [[article name|how it appears in your sentence]]. Compare: "Some people are concerned about [[upgrading campaigns]]"; "Some people are concerned about [[Upgrading Campaigns|upgrading campaigns]]". - TopAce 13:53, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
            • I've already noticed that, but unless someone is really willing to do that on all articles, well...discussing is a waste of time. --- Mobius

Would it be better to rename it "Proofreading" to include things like inconsistent use of lingo and differing (often jarring) writing styles between missions?
