Forum:Title Case

Did I miss something? Has title case been declared evil or something? --ShounenSuki (talk 09:28, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah that was what I was trying to figure out.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 10:28, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I mean, I could just as easily go and revert everything but that could be counter productive...--TheUltimate3 (talk) 10:33, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I liked it better when they were capitalized as they looked better. No idea why they were changed. ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 16:42, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia doesn't use title case, and I couldn't think of a particularly good reason why we should. Needing to type "Torune uses Nano-Sized, Poisonous Insects instead of kikaichū because he is awesome" when neither nano, sized, poisonous, nor insects are proper nouns was irritating.
 * Seeing as this problem could have been solved in the interim by simply making redirects, I suppose I should have brought it up first. ~SnapperTo 22:02, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, and the wiki software forces the first character of article titles to be capitalized. In case that was misleading you what with "Ninjutsu" and "Katana". ~SnapperTo 22:12, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's ugly, please, change it back. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:56, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I strongly prefer title case. Technical difficulties should never stand in the way of proper style. --ShounenSuki (talk 23:19, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * So is it being changed back, I would strongly prefer it be done before the daily server update so I can fix all the redirects without having to wait 24hrs. ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 23:21, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

You do know that double redirects can be changed with the click of a button using a bot, right? You don't have to do it manually. --ShounenSuki (talk 23:25, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Really? You see that I didn't know. I've been doing it manually. Would be awesome if their was a bot that checked all of the uploaded images to make sure they're properly licensed and have a fair-use rationale. ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 23:33, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Then we should really come up with a wiki-specific grammar guideline. I suggest the following: Also, why? ~SnapperTo 00:29, April 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree with most of that, but I find putting commas and periods inside quotes, "like this," extremely irksome. I think that it should be done "like this". Logical punctuation ftw. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:38, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree with Omnibender. It should just look as proper & professional as possible. ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 00:40, April 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * (momentary lapse) What's with the "two arm" in the plural sections? That's also not good. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:42, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
