| − | In seeing your other comments, it looks like you are. I'm steadfastly against it. Some things are just not proper names. "Awal shrinkage" should not be capitalized, any more than the "Luminous text". The distinction I've seen, and have been keeping conscious of, is between proper names and not. Bobby Shwarmph yes, Awal shrinkage, no. So, all references to "Council for Quezlarian Research" now needs a capital "For"? Forcing ucwords on all wiki pages is the equivalent, IMO, of CamelCase. The removal of CamelCase in wiki's, one of the "good things", was to make reading entries better and more English like. Implementing a forced ucword seems backwards: another arbitrary decision that breaks the rules of English, imposed because one player can't keep things straight. --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 19:30, 12 Sep 2004 (EDT)

| − | Rationale: it forms the title of the page, and "[i]n most house styles, all the major words in an English title are capitalized — 'major' meaning the first word, the last word, and everything in between except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions" - [http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/t.html#titles Lynch on Titles] (which means that the "for" in your example doesn't need to be capitalised). In-page references probably should be capitalised normally though. --[[User:Sbp|Sean B. Palmer]] 19:31, 12 Sep 2004 (EDT)
