Hi gboyers, I was saying on the discussion page for "Involuntary Ejection" that, since it's not a proper name, it should be renamed to "Involuntary ejection" (lowercase 'e'). There are quite a few pages like this, but it's obviously not Wiki policy or style to capitalise ''every'' page title (see: [[Controversy in the GTA series]], for example). What do you reckon, capitalise them all, fix the capitalised ones, or leave it inconsistent? I'd be happy to do it myself, but I don't have name-changing privileges, hoho.

:Actually, on this wiki it IS policy to write titles in title case, not sentence case (like wikipedia) or CamelCase (like MeatballWiki). So capitalise all words except minor words (such as: a, is, in, the). Most of the pages on this wiki are named after games, missions, people etc, so end up being proper nouns (and thus capitalised anyway). For the rest of the pages, they are titles rather than opening sentences, so we've always had a policy of using title case. Just because it's different to Wikipedia doesn't make it wrong :). See [[Grand Theft Wiki:Conistency]] for the full explanation. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 21:41, 25 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
