My New Proposed Policy

Capitalized/Title Case

  • acronyms (RoE, AB, SoD, HotA)
  • companies (New World Computing, The 3DO Company, Ubisoft)
  • heroes (Caitlin, Solmyr, Dessa)
  • pages (Main Page, List of Creatures, Did You Know)
  • places (Erathia, Bracada, Krewlod)

Lowercase

  • buildings (village hall, town hall, city hall, capitol, fort, citadel, castle, tavern)
  • classes (alchemist, battle mage)
  • creatures (angel, archangel)
  • individual terms (hero, experience points, spell points, movement points)
  • primary skills (attack, defense, knowledge, power)
  • spells (haste, magic arrow, chain lightning)
  • war machines (catapult, ballista, first aid tent, ammo cart)

Wonky/Inconsistent Capitalization in the Manuals

The capitalization in the manuals is so wonky and inconsistent I really want to just throw it out and stick to proper language (only capitalizing proper nouns and words that are in actual titles (and only the first word of a sentence)). Since the names of pages are shown as titles at the top of each page, they should be in title case (not fully capitalized). →ima 08:09, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm up for debate on section headings. Wikipedia considers them the same as sentences with only the first letter being capitalized. I think I might be OK with title case on section headings though. →ima 08:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Wikipedia also recommends not capitalizing the second or subsequent words in an article title (unless the title is a proper name). I'm also up for debate on this as I'd prefer the title at the top of each page to be in title case. →ima 08:44, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
